https://bellejar.ca/2013/09/16/the-first-lesson-is-dont-be-afraid-of-falling
Let me live, love and say it well in good sentences. – Sylvia Plath. The First Lesson Is: Don’t Be Afraid Of Falling. My sister-in-law brought me along to her roller derby practice last night. She’s been doing the derby thing since March of this year, and I have been hella jealous. If there was ever anyone who was meant to be a bad-ass lady who roller skates, wears short skirts, body-checks other women and has a hilariously punny name. I mean, COME ON. That sounds like heaven to me. But you can’t l...

Maunderings and ramblings of a library assistant, mostly-unpublished writer, occasional anachronist, finder of lost books and roving researcher. Sunday, June 16, 2013. Thinking about other stories. Oh, those other stories. So enticing in their open-endedness, their possibilities of plot and plot twists. Those characters I don't know yet, who might do anything. Those settings I would need to research, and research a little more. Mmmm. Links to this post. Thursday, June 6, 2013. And yes, still wrestling wi...

Bibliographic Searcher: December 2012

Maunderings and ramblings of a library assistant, mostly-unpublished writer, occasional anachronist, finder of lost books and roving researcher. Tuesday, December 25, 2012. Apparently I have not posted anything at all this month. My virtuousness was confined to getting my Christmas cards sent, my charitable donations mailed out, presents bought, and cubicle decorated excessively. There was no virtue left over for posting. Or for decorating the house beyond a couple of door wreaths. More later, my dears!

http://bibsearch.blogspot.com/2014/01/january-ice-cream.html
Maunderings and ramblings of a library assistant, mostly-unpublished writer, occasional anachronist, finder of lost books and roving researcher. Sunday, January 5, 2014. It's a new year, I've had my birthday, and maybe I should prove that I haven't actually abandoned this blog? So, how about a recipe, though not a particularly seasonal one, given the heavy frost and heaved ground here, alternating with grey clouds and sleety rain. I have found buttermilk ice cream recipes. So, examine several buttermilk ...

Maunderings and ramblings of a library assistant, mostly-unpublished writer, occasional anachronist, finder of lost books and roving researcher. Tuesday, January 8, 2013. This is why I don't read litfic. Every clause of this blurb further confirmed this as a book I would never, ever read:. That last sentence in particular sets up so much. and delivers a crashing anticlimax. The least it could do is finish with 'while standing in the ruins of her burnt-out house.'. Links to this post.

Maunderings and ramblings of a library assistant, mostly-unpublished writer, occasional anachronist, finder of lost books and roving researcher. Wednesday, September 11, 2013. The octave of the 3-Day contest. Ah well, I told myself. I'll get an early night and start off all chipper by 5 am (my usual time of getting up). Did I? Nope, I lay slugabed until 6:30 am. On the Monday night, when I had to chuck it in at midnight no matter what, the story (finally! Then there was more muddling about because I also...

Maunderings and ramblings of a library assistant, mostly-unpublished writer, occasional anachronist, finder of lost books and roving researcher. Thursday, March 6, 2014. But a nice one.

Bibliographic Searcher: all this running around
http://bibsearch.blogspot.com/2014/01/all-this-running-around.html
Maunderings and ramblings of a library assistant, mostly-unpublished writer, occasional anachronist, finder of lost books and roving researcher. Wednesday, January 15, 2014. All this running around. I've mentioned, maybe, that I'm not terribly sad and disappointed that last year's fall and cracked tibial plateau mean I can't take up running or jogging? Nope I have no endurance. My history and issues around team sports and group exertion are something for another post entirely. The courses varied consider...
