Go here. Press Begin Order.
And away you go!

Shut ‘Er Down

I’m going to take some time off from blogging. I would like to say that I’ll take one month off and at the end of that, see how I feel, but who knows.
I’m currently looking for full-time work. I want to be around people during the day and Back Fence combined with freelance writing has [...]

Tonight!!!

Back Fence is tonight.
Advanced tickets here. After 3:30, they’re at the door of the Mission Theater!

Hahahahah

Look at the weather for Portland. LOOK AT IT, INTERNET.
I feel like you guys don’t believe me when I say that it’s rained for eleventy million days. Well, it has. IT HAS.
This post is for the ladies.
Crissy posted yesterday about buying a new dress for our big dinner on Tuesday. That’s right, LESS THAN A [...]

Events and Retreats and Stuff

Okay, so Back Fence tickets are selling faster than any show previous. Needless to say, we’re very happy about this. Do you have your tickets? If not, I think you should probably go and buy them.
I’m posting over on Narrative Actualization. I realize I’m slowly compiling all the stuff I know about writing. So if [...]

I’m in a Relationship

You guys, I think I might be in a relationship with Hotel deLuxe. I’d like to marry it. Can I do that? Marry a hotel? Maybe New Hampshire could work on getting that into the state’s constitution or something?
We arrived and set our things in the room and promptly went to the Driftwood Room for [...]

Staycation

Tonight Fancyhats and I are having a staycation. We’re staying at Hotel deLuxe. If I’m ever a rich, precocious little girl whose adventures are documented in a picture book, I’m going to live at Hotel deLuxe.
Also, I’m going to drink at their bar, the Driftwood room. This bar makes me feel like I’m having an [...]

Writing Bites

Yesterday Fancyhats objected to the name Writing Bites. Said it sounded like I was saying writing sucked. Well, I sort of am saying writing sucks. No one enjoys the act of writing. It feels like someone slowly poking you in the eyeballs with bamboo toothpicks. It’s difficult and slow and it’s never, ever over. Revision [...]

Cash for Clunkers?

First off, I’m partnering up with the fantastic Bridget Pilloud for a new project called Narrative Actualization! I know, right?!?! We’re changing stories! I’m teaching the writing portion, and Bridget is teaching the life changing portion and it’s going to be awesome. You can follow our progress here and here.
And I was riding my bike [...]

Explain it to Me Like I’m Simple

We did a little karaoke the other night at Chop3 (How Can Be Lounge). I prefer Chop3 to Chop2, which is Kiala’s favorite, because the crowd is usually far smaller so you can get your songs and the talent is more…ahem…to my level. Have I mentioned that I cannot sing and karaoke frightens me to [...]
