Alicia Delvaux
Alicia Delvaux is one of my favorite bloggers, ever. She moved to Cleveland this year, but she still blogs for Valley24.com, a regional online hub for the Mahoning Valley, where I live. She recently posted a really wonderful entry about the things that have been occurring here in Youngstown in the past few years, recounting…

Career Meme
This test was funny. It actually captures a lot of my interests, even if some of them aren’t exactly what I’d want to do as careers. The careers I’ve dabbled in or something related to are bolded. 1. Go to http://www.careercruising.com/ 2. Put in Username: nycareers, Password: landmark. 3. Take their “Career Matchmaker” questions. 4.…

The Big Idea
John Scalzi asked me to be the guinea pig for a new feature called “The Big Idea” on his Ficlets blog, where an author writes a little essay about a central idea that their book came to be centered around or which influenced the writing of the book. My big idea essay is now up…

Away
I’m heading out tomorrow morning for Kentucky and then on to North Carolina for the Sycamore Hill Writing Workshop, so I’ll be away from blogging for a while, and if I’m slow to respond to e-mails, it’ll be because I’m high up in the mountains and maybe won’t have consistent internet access. Also I’ll be…

Returned
I am back from Wiscon, have had a full night of sleep, and yet still feel totally exhausted. How on earth have all of you other con-goers managed to write these lovely con reports and love letters to fellow attendees already? I feel ready to fall over just typing these words! So I will write…
