Posted on March 6, 2007 by Susan

REALITY?: Changes Blowin’ in the Wind

Posted on March 6, 2007 by Susan

Unusual–garage philosophy in the middle of the day.  But it is cold and oh-so windy that I am sure that you can hear it too.  Though you may not feel it as I do; it blows right through me. Once … Continue reading → Continue reading →

WRITING & LITERATURE: Lit Journals and Getting Published

Posted on March 5, 2007 by Susan

Just spent an hour looking back through several websites looking for that one Precious Literary Journal Editorial Staff that just made my day.  What they noted in their submission guidelines was that no author would be published more than twice … Continue reading → Continue reading →

TECHNOLOGY: Feeds

Posted on March 5, 2007 by Susan

A couple of weeks ago I started using that little symbol at the top of the IE7 bar to list a couple sites on a separate RSS feed system.  It works–but not well. I’ve put my own site on as … Continue reading → Continue reading →

WRITING & NEW MEDIA: Self-Effacing vs. Facing Self

Posted on March 3, 2007 by Susan

I give up. I’m not a writer, not an artist.  I’m a reader of others’ words and framer of their art. I’m just too late and still not good enough, that’s all there is to it. But I can sew, … Continue reading → Continue reading →

NEW MEDIA & WRITING: And TurboCAD!

Posted on March 2, 2007 by Susan

Might end up not posting on this project here, but rather switch it to Pseudohyperfiction, a blog I’d set up a while ago to handle this particular thing. What I’m doing is working with four stories that had been relative … Continue reading → Continue reading →

NEW MEDIA: CAD Storyboard

Posted on March 1, 2007 by Susan

Good grief.  Only I would have a TurboCAD 3-D program down in the cellar among the old software compatible with WIN 3.1 and WIN 95. And yes, it works with XP. Loaded it in–in 2-D format since that’s all I’m … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Posted on March 1, 2007 by Susan

WRITING: Publishing Posthumously

Posted on March 1, 2007 by Susan

Since I’m rewriting some of my stories in the couple dozen I have–and stopping just short of deleting many others (likely I’ll just refile them under "Dead Issues" in my Creative Writing/Stories Finished Folder)–I’m taking into consideration the reading periods … Continue reading → Continue reading →

WRITING: Submitting

Posted on March 1, 2007 by Susan

Just one story; just one literary journal.  When the Crows Gather is just right for them; I know it. Was it finished?  As good as it can be?  I don’t know; I think so.  Few was the better story for … Continue reading → Continue reading →

Been checking out a number of free CAD programs for use as a layout to map out interweaving plots–in other words, hyperfiction.  What the CAD software offers is a large work area thats maneuverable to allow for managing the plot … Continue reading → Continue reading →

WRITING: Is It Soup Yet?

Posted on February 28, 2007 by Susan

Suffering from the it’s-not-good-enoughs.  Avoiding the issue is becoming a way of life, working up to the deadline at not getting it done.  Self-sabotage is half the problem, self-doubt is the other. Likely only two more months at most to … Continue reading → Continue reading →

WRITING & REALITY?: Emotion

Posted on February 28, 2007 by Susan

I am so full of repressed anger that I can’t even sputter for fear of exploding.  Within an hour of filling the birdfeeders with the mid-range priced seed, I see four squirrels dumping out the feeders to get the choice … Continue reading → Continue reading →
