For those who stop and smell the flowers. Where there be dragons. Jan 7th, 2009 at 5:25 PM. Congrats to wendyb 09. For winning the Robin Hood gift set! Email me at marjoriemliu@gowebway.com, and I'll get that out to you. There was an article in the NY Times the other day, called I Wish I Could Read Like a Girl. I have several small problems with the piece (the title being one of them - and not out of a sense of political correctness), but she does make some interesting statements, like this:. The Blue Sw...

For those who stop and smell the flowers. Jan 17th, 2009 at 9:43 PM. The difference between fiction and reality is that fiction has to make sense.". Right The bathtub faucet started running uncontrollably today, mere moments after I had a conversation about when the water might be turned on at the new house. But this time the water was gushing uncontrollably. The water was not draining. And when I merely grazed the faucet with my hand, it popped off the wall. 9 comments Leave a comment.

For those who stop and smell the flowers. Hailing my gun experts, for a moment. Jan 19th, 2009 at 6:21 AM. If a person stumbled upon a rifle or handgun that hadn't been used in twenty years, would that weapon still function - and if so, would it need some kind of internal cleaning? What would be the risks of using a weapon that old, if any? And yes, this is for a story. 14 comments Leave a comment. Jan 19th, 2009 11:43 am (UTC). Jan 19th, 2009 11:44 am (UTC). It doesn't sound like a quick process. If it ...

I used to love old houses. I think I still love them. From a distance. - Web Petals

For those who stop and smell the flowers. I used to love old houses. I think I still love them. From a distance. Jan 18th, 2009 at 9:44 AM. I'm learning more about that basement than I ever wanted to. Things live down there! But what did I expect? Things live in the attic, too! I'm surrounded by an army of small furred creatures (not including cats, poodles, etc) who seem to think they own this place. And they do! I feel like chopped liver. Here, this is relaxing. Just One More Book. Actually, no. I ...

Finally, authors reveal the answer to that notorious question: Where do you get your ideas? Marjorie M Liu - Eye of Heaven. That kind of stoicism is what drove me as I wrote about Blue, and ultimately, his counterpart: Iris McGillis, shape-shifter and circus performer. Opposites, and yet the same down to the core. Both isolated by their parents and the circumstances of their lives - and both unbearably lonely. Anyway, I hope very much that you enjoy EYE OF HEAVEN! Posted by Heather Waters at 7:11 AM.

For those who stop and smell the flowers. January 10th, 2009. For those who trust in words. Jan 10th, 2009 at 10:33 AM. John DeFrancis passed away. Many of you may not know who he was, but if you've ever studied. The Chinese language, even a little, then chances are you owe a great deal to Professor DeFrancis: adventurer. And philanthropist. Here is his obituary. And one of his articles: Prospects for Chinese Writing Reform. Novelist, lawyer, adventurer. Marjorie M. Lius Website. Dirk and Steele Series.
