JennyRedbug: December 2014
http://www.jennyredbug.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
Words and pictures about writing, books, and life aboard a sailboat. Monday, December 1, 2014. My Five Fave Books of 2014. A short list of the new books I enjoyed reading this year (all were published in 2014). Once again, I am not putting on my list of favorites the recent books that have been bestsellers—a couple of which I admired greatly, like Sue Monk Kidd's The Invention of Wings, Five Came Back. By Mark Harris and Leaving Time. The Stones of Kaldaar. Was a learning experience that transported me&#...

JennyRedbug: March 2015
http://www.jennyredbug.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Words and pictures about writing, books, and life aboard a sailboat. Monday, March 30, 2015. Why Attend the Writers' Summit? I've written a few blog posts over the years, regarding writers conferences, and why they are important. The Sunriver Writers' Summit. Is something quite different, and there are compelling reasons to attend this 2-day intensive event, besides the fact that I'll be teaching there with the always-inspiring Judy Reeves. Another reason is that all of us track leaders have been. Finall...

From Paige to Page: 8/8/15 RMB Janie
http://frompaigetopage.blogspot.com/2015/08/8815-rmb-janie.html
From Paige to Page. Saturday, August 8, 2015. Dear Rita Mae Brown,. Some lives leave sweet memories and so much more. 8220;Sit right here,” she said, tapping the seats right behind her place at the piano. 8220;I don’t want the boys to bother you while you’re playing. We can sit over there.” I motioned across the church. She was a mother, a friend, a church pianist, a music teacher and a brave soul, with a hug that seemed meant for me every time I saw her. Today Janie is playing her music with the angels.

From Paige to Page. Friday, July 31, 2015. 7/30/15 RMB Magic and the Dance. Magic and the Dance. Dear Rita Mae Brown,. Some days have higher highs and lower lows. In the end we strike a balance. To those injured and ill we send healing. And we cover the bases in between. Last night I attended Reverend Millie Landis’ Wednesday Night Forum for the first time in too long. My nephew trio accompanied me. To church seemed an appropriate course to take, after the day’s egg-fighting fiasco. Tonight Teddy Tapscot...

From Paige to Page. Tuesday, May 27, 2014. 12-3-13 RMB Batwoman and Catwoman updated. 12-3-13 RMB Batwoman and Catwoman. Updated slightly after my numero uno critique said “What? Dear Rita Mae Brown,. Two letters in one day, you poor thing, um, I mean aren’t you the lucky one. I attempted a minimum amount of research and I dare not elaborate further. With epic tales that reach back decades and characters that change character along with persona and inclinations through the years, I am not up to parap...

From Paige to Page. Saturday, August 29, 2015. 8/29/15 RMB Driving with Mrs. Murphy. 8/29/15 RMB Driving with Mrs. Murphy. Dear Rita Mae Brown,. Our southern California heat wave brought east county temps near 100 today. Fortunately for me, I had work to do. Attending meetings to stay up with the latest in the world of publishing sometimes requires traveling a couple of hours by car. The twists and turns on the way to The End are equally intricate and interesting. Still “reading”,. Links to this post.

From Paige to Page. Sunday, June 28, 2015. 6/28/15 RMB Baby Goat. 6/28/15 RMB Baby Goat. Dear Rita Mae Brown,. On a warm desert day, Teddy took me to Pioneer Town. She parked her car behind a guardrail, two wooden posts supporting a third. It looked like something from a western movie where a cowboy could swing the reins of his four legged companion, looping them around a couple of times, before he ventured into town. Touching it as I passed, it felt like history. 8220;He goes in front with me.”...

Dear Rita Mae Brown,. 8220;If you don’t have something nice to say, don’t say anything at all.” Many days slip by without written words of fiction or in RMB letters. I found I was focusing, as people often do, on the negative. An injustice here or there sparked me to step up on my soapbox, to point out a positive or send out a wish for something better. May the sun shine upon you,. The holiday ru...

Two days ago, on Thanksgiving afternoon, Teddy and I pulled into the long private drive of a friend’s home. Friends of twenty years shared hugs and then I was introduced to our hostess, and others, as a family of friends arrived, over a dozen in all. Two white felines welcomed me and quickly made themselves scarce as the rooms filled. Next weekend my family will gather to...

JennyRedbug: Some Spring and Summer Must-Reads
http://www.jennyredbug.com/2015/06/some-spring-and-summer-must-reads.html
Words and pictures about writing, books, and life aboard a sailboat. Tuesday, June 9, 2015. Some Spring and Summer Must-Reads. I'm ready for Summer already, aren't you? I'm looking forward to some time on the sand, book in hand, with the sun in a blue sky and a cold blended drink nearby—hey that rhymes! I'm becoming a (really bad) poet. I'm working today under cloudy skies, anticipating the much-needed rain that's been predicted, and thinking of things I'd rather be doing. (What is wrong with me? Confere...
