http://lilbighorsefarm.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 21, 2010. Sex All Weekend Long. Had a wonderful experience this weekend. Mary Buckham. Writer and professional critique-er (is that a word? The day before, on Friday, we explored our little corner of Kentucky. We started with lunch at Wallace Station, then moved on to a tour of Three Chimneys Farm, which was an enlightening experience in sex itself. We toured the stallion barns, where we met Big Brown, Smarty Jones and so many other ph. Nah, just kidding.mostly. Everybody had a wond...I'm n...

J.M. Madden: July 2010
http://lilbighorsefarm.blogspot.com/2010_07_01_archive.html
Saturday, July 31, 2010. All tolled, I believe there were about 27 different balloons. This balloon was called 'Udderly Delightful'. I thought it was damn cute. They were having some problems getting this balloon vertical. See the little gray haired lady in the bottom left hand corner of the picture? The balloons after everybody had lifted off. Once the balloons were headed who-knows-where, they had live music and arts and crafts. To check out. And, of course, bounce houses for the kids. When we arrived ...

J.M. Madden: Kentucky sucks...
http://lilbighorsefarm.blogspot.com/2010/09/kentucky-sucks.html
Sunday, September 19, 2010. At least when it comes to county fairs. I'm from southeastern Ohio, and I grew up going to the Guernsey County Fair in Old Washington ,Oh. When I was a kid I had fat steers in the fair, and even though they were a lot of work, I will always remember the camaraderie of being in a club, with friends who were doing the same thing. The funnest part of being in 4-H though, by far, was hanging out at the fair. The donkey above is a piebald Sicilian. The white chickens below are ...

J.M. Madden: January 2010
http://lilbighorsefarm.blogspot.com/2010_01_01_archive.html
Tuesday, January 19, 2010. 13 Years and counting. Yesterday my husband and I celebrated our 13th wedding anniversary. Kinda. Actually, he's in California right now, so our celebration was limited to what we could do on the phone. (No, nothing dirty.) We'll be extra celebratory when he comes back, because he comes back the day after his birthday. Alot of people didn't expect us to survive. But I've come to realize that that was their dissatisfaction with their own lives coming through. I love my husband d...

J.M. Madden: Show, Don't Tell...
http://lilbighorsefarm.blogspot.com/2010/09/show-dont-tell.html
Wednesday, September 1, 2010. Show, Don't Tell. If you're a writer, at some point in your career you've probably been told to 'show' the scene, rather than just tell the writer what is going on. I know I have. I ran across a quote the other day, though, that really clarified it for me:. Don't tell me the moon is shining; show me the glint of light on broken glass.". Just something to think about. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). View my complete profile. Long series, a stand alone novel, or trilogy?

http://lilbighorsefarm.blogspot.com/2010/09/surprising-mistakes-by-well-known.html
Saturday, September 11, 2010. Surprising mistakes by a well-known author. I grabbed one of my favorite books off my shelf today, by one of my favorite authors. Not to read, but to look at conversational patterns in her writing. I'll keep this author's name under wraps, just because I'm not the type to try to dirty people. What I found surprised me. The 'nodded's started leaping out at me. Or was this the unconscious use of a phrase she liked? Was it something the editors glossed over? If you had glaring ...

J.M. Madden: August 2010
http://lilbighorsefarm.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Saturday, August 21, 2010. I bought 2 magazines recently, that are absolutely a wealth of information for writers. If you have a chance, find these. The first is a Writer's Digest magazine titled. Get Your Book Published. Well, I just realized the second mag is also a Writer's Digest magazine. Maybe I need a subscription, huh? Both of these are definitely going on my reference shelf for later reading. Enjoy! Monday, August 16, 2010. This past winter we lost Annie, our old friend. And our lives have b...

J.M. Madden: April 2010
http://lilbighorsefarm.blogspot.com/2010_04_01_archive.html
Sunday, April 25, 2010. With the spring comes renewal, though,and things are starting to perk up. Hubby has been working in Mexico for a little over a month, and he's almost done with that. He's at least getting to come home on the weekends now. Anyway, spring is here and I'm looking forward to a better year this year. I'm still writing, although with hubby traveling, it's harder to eek out time, because I have to juggle the kiddies. But I plug on, because I have to. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Shelfari:...
