Robin's Blog: P&P Redux
http://blogofrobin.blogspot.com/2007/06/p-redux.html
Tuesday, June 12, 2007. I'm rereading Pride and Prejudice right now - mostly because I've read the story so many times that I can be half alive and still understand it! But I'm also analyzing it as a writer for the first time. I heard someone say "Thank goodness no one ever told Jane Austen to Show not Tell! And it's true, she tells frequently. For example:. So, why does it work? Anyway -just a few writerly thoughts on the ever interesting Austen! Those egg sandwiches sound awesome! Yeah, P&P should come...

Robin's Blog: October 2006
http://blogofrobin.blogspot.com/2006_10_01_archive.html
Tuesday, October 31, 2006. Not a boxer - but in honor of Halloween - another front paw doggie from Cute Overload. Boxer of the Day. How kissable is that face? More recipes and dinner ideas. I know some of you out there are trying out UltraMetabolism - so I wanted to share some dinners I've had lately that are working out well:. Garlic aioli: I took approx 1 c mayo (no high fructose corn syrup in the mayo! I had a harvest salad. I made up some marinara sauce yesterday and froze two portions to pull out as...

Robin's Blog: November 2006
http://blogofrobin.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 29, 2006. But I loved Greg. We'd sit and cuddle together and I wouldn't do anything, not fix dinner, not change clothes, nothing, till the Wiggles were over. Often Randy would come home mid-Wiggle video and sit down and watch with us. They were so purely happy, so energetic and funny and lovable that between them and my crazy little girl my spirits were lifted and I could go about my evening happily. So, it is with sadness that I direct you to this link: Greg Wiggle, is stepping down.

Robin's Blog: April 2007
http://blogofrobin.blogspot.com/2007_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 29, 2007. So here is the conclusion of today's work in the bathroom. Note the lovely chair rail tile along the edges. I love chair rail! You can also see that I've put in a single handle valve for the shower control and put it much higher than the original three knobs. That was an experience. It took the plumber 6 hours and he had to go under the house. Apparently the pipes weren't very sturdy. No big surprise there. The blank spots are where the corner shelves will go, by the way. I've sin...

Robin's Blog: Get ready... get set...
http://blogofrobin.blogspot.com/2007/06/get-ready-get-set.html
Wednesday, June 27, 2007. Get ready. get set. Almost ready for the big blog unveil! I'm going to discontinue this blog and launch a new one, focused mostly on writing, and mysteries in particular. It'll have the working title of my WIP, status counters, industry links, and a cool new template. Stay tuned! I'll announce the addy here, and leave this up for a little while before making the big switch. :). Ooh, I can't wait to see it! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Adopt your own virtual pet!

Robin's Blog: To use a pen name or not...
http://blogofrobin.blogspot.com/2007/06/to-use-pen-name-or-not.html
Wednesday, June 13, 2007. To use a pen name or not. Here are the pros and cons as I see them:. 1) You get to name yourself and how fun is that! You can even make it match your genre. 2) A degree of separation for your family from potential rabid fans (ha! 1) It's not *your* name on the book, which you may have been hoping to see your whole life. Of course, I certainly adjusted to a married name. 2) Won't the rabid fans figure out who you are anyway? Do you plan to use a pen name? Do you like the idea?

Robin's Blog: A nod to the grand dame...
http://blogofrobin.blogspot.com/2007/06/nod-to-grand-dame.html
Saturday, June 23, 2007. A nod to the grand dame. This week I picked up The Moving Finger. By Agatha Christie. The back of the book said "a puzzle fit for the masters! What fun, I thought! About halfway through, though, I was pretty sure I had it all figured out. I suppose I've just read too many mysteries. She surprised me and pulled it all together beautifully! A cozy at it's finest. :). I love it when that happens. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Adopt your own virtual pet! Agent X - Rachel Vater.

Robin's Blog: I'm alive... barely
http://blogofrobin.blogspot.com/2007/06/im-alive-barely.html
Friday, June 08, 2007. I'm alive. barely. Just a quick post to say that I am sick. All. The. Time. I'm far enough in to the 1st trimester that I don't remember not being sick, and have far enough to go that I can't see the light yet. Writing while sick is hard! Partly because as I run from my laptop to throw up, my 1 1/2 yr old pulls keys off of it. Eventually they don't go back on! Sending hugs your way. I wish I had some secret remedy for you. Hang in there. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Robin's Blog: March 2007
http://blogofrobin.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 23, 2007. I won the contest over at Kimber's. Blog for a copy of. Your Planet or Mine. By Susan Grant. And my book arrived today! I am so excited to start it! She was kind enough to sign it for me too, with a nice note. :). Wednesday, March 21, 2007. I've managed another chapter's worth of edits. YAY! It's a real triumph right now since I'm *still* organizing and unpacking in most of my spare moments. Off to scrub the front porch. (which is where she got sick *this* time). Books vs. TV.

Robin's Blog: The healing power of a Hostess cupcake
http://blogofrobin.blogspot.com/2007/06/healing-power-of-hostess-cupcake.html
Wednesday, June 06, 2007. The healing power of a Hostess cupcake. Yes, you read that title right. I was spiralling downhill again today, when it suddenly occurred to me that I was either dehydrated or just needed some quick energy. So my darling daughter brought me a bottle of water and a cupcake and voila - I'm upright! Who knew they possessed such medicinal qualities! Of course, I had to let the kids each have one and now Gigi is running around the house shouting "Mo Cake! Adopt your own virtual pet!
