A Vocational Duality: Motherhood and Freelancing: January 2005
http://freelancemother.blogspot.com/2005_01_01_archive.html
A Vocational Duality: Motherhood and Freelancing. Monday, January 31, 2005. Who needs a mentor? It's always interesting when something you think was rather pointless turns out to be quite fortuitous, once you think about it enough. Yesterday I attended an event at my alma mater. Part of the New Hampshire Authors Series, in which local NH author Rebecca Rule. Interviews well-known authors tied to the University of New Hampshire. Yesterday's interview. Of award-winning novelist Charlotte Bacon. Not to ment...

A Vocational Duality: Motherhood and Freelancing: June 2005
http://freelancemother.blogspot.com/2005_06_01_archive.html
A Vocational Duality: Motherhood and Freelancing. Wednesday, June 29, 2005. I love my readers. They are just such a great bunch of people. Their critiques run the gamut from necessary nitpicks to pointing out near-fatal flaws in my fiction. They're making the novel a stronger work, and me a stronger writer. Recently, two of them bore this out in a way I never would have expected. In short, it was unadulterated guilt. And that's where the second reader comes in. She prefers to do her critiques on ...Http:...

A Vocational Duality: Motherhood and Freelancing: March 2005

A Vocational Duality: Motherhood and Freelancing. Monday, March 28, 2005. Back with a gripe. Finished the novel I was editing (no, not mine, someone else's) and am celebrating by, well, getting onto the next thing. Including reestablishing my presence here. Although several things happened over the last few weeks that I've wanted to blog on, those that stick out the most are the ones I'm going to gripe about. Namely, the behavior of so-called "Christians" - the one who works for Windstream Publishing.

A Vocational Duality: Motherhood and Freelancing: November 2004
http://freelancemother.blogspot.com/2004_11_01_archive.html
A Vocational Duality: Motherhood and Freelancing. Wednesday, November 17, 2004. Never sell all rights. This was a tenet I saw frequently when I first began freelancing. Its basic premise: if you sell all rights, you may not be able to profit from your work in the future. Given many readers' increasing reliance on the World Wide Web, this is especially pertinent to writers. Who wants to allow a huge publishing company to profit off your hard work, in any form, with nary a cent to you? As I'd expected, my ...

A Vocational Duality: Motherhood and Freelancing: December 2004
http://freelancemother.blogspot.com/2004_12_01_archive.html
A Vocational Duality: Motherhood and Freelancing. Monday, December 20, 2004. Why do I write? I wrote this in response to Sarah Weinman's latest blog. I write first and foremost because I have to. It's a compulsion, to the point where I get really grumpy if I don't feed it. I also think it's the only way I have to make sense of the world. Posted by Christa M. Miller at 2:55 PM. Friday, December 17, 2004. The turnabout happened in the last few months. Little things, enough to convince me to stay in the...

Another Day in Paradise: October 2008
http://fireinmysoul.blogspot.com/2008_10_01_archive.html
Another Day in Paradise. Thursday, October 30, 2008. That greenish thread I was telling you about? Scrumptious. I'm still trying to figure out how to describe it accurately; a picture of it just doesn't capture the shimmer right. Bluish green. Shimmery. Laceweight- I'm using two strands to weave with, warp threads are sturdy ecru cotton that was left from the beige and red tape I just finished. Monday, October 27, 2008. Sunday, October 26, 2008. And have a pleasant week ahead of you. Then I am here.

Another Day in Paradise: December 2008
http://fireinmysoul.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Another Day in Paradise. Monday, December 29, 2008. My day started mildly enough. What's a flat tire before sunrise, when you've already planned out the childcare and thought ahead to taking the car in for servicing? Two more new tires have now brought me up to four new tires in a year. The bright side to this whole thing being that I shouldn't have to worry about getting a tire shredded on the drive up to Washington. Sunday, December 28, 2008. Friday, December 26, 2008. I haven't found many so far. ...

Another Day in Paradise
http://fireinmysoul.blogspot.com/2009/06/build-wall-brick-by-brick-high-and-wide.html
Another Day in Paradise. Monday, June 22, 2009. High and wide and deep enough to last. Make it with joy. Make it with grace. With all the grace given me. To last my lifetime. Inside the wall will grow. Roses and lilies sheltered from the wind. From the storms of life outside the wall. Inside shelters grace and the slight flicker. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
