New Year blogging at Samhain Publishing

Friday, January 1st, 2010 | Author: jmward14 | Blog | No Comments

For reasons beyond human ken, the good folks at Samhain Publishing thought I’d be the perfect person to open the next decade of the company blog. You can read the damage here. One thing you can be sure of, it fits right in with the Cartoon Network’s New Year Looney Tunes marathon. Enjoy!
Wishing everyone the best of the New Year!
Cheers and cyber-confetti,

Desperation is the mother of invention in this house.
I was trying to line up the August blogs I owe to blog sites other than my own. The goal was to get it all over with now, so I’d have more time to write next month. They were all playing nicely except my August 22 Samhain blog. Given the date, I’d be a fool not do something related to DragonCon, but what? The program schedules are almost never finalized until the week before Labor Day, and I was pretty sure I’ve written everything there is to write about the con.
Should I do something about the balls? The Masquerade? The guests? My costume changes?
Then it hit me: Sixteen Ways DragonCon Is Like a Regency Country House Party.
The weird thing is, it works.
‘Til later…

A little blog, but mine own

Posted my latest blog at Beyond the Veil.  This time I tackle caffeine and ghosts. 
Hmm, caffeinated ghosts.  Now there’s a story idea!
Cheers and grins,

This blog is live

After a very scary two days without any web site at all, I managed to figure out how to save the site and get my blog to show.  It was all about the Reader Settings.  Who knew?  Certainly not me.  Now to get back with the serious work of rearranging the columns and adding plug-ins.

Color me relieved.
