The Curious Cat: September 2014
http://shannonhilsonblog.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
The Personal Blog of a Free-Spirited Thinker. Monday, September 22, 2014. At the Threshold of the Fall Equinox. Tomorrow is the equinox, so I guess it will officially be fall at long last. I can't even express how happy that makes me. It's time for cooler weather and nice, long nights. It's time to read Dracula. And watch horror movies. It's time for big steaming homemade bowls of stew, and soup, and chili. Go I can tell you right now that at 38 years old, I don't regret my lack of fucks given about the ...

The Life and Times of a Freelance Writer. The Development of My Personal Style. What I charge is completely dependent upon how time consuming your project will be for me, what the finished work will be used for, and whether or not you will be using what I produce to bring in revenue. Nevertheless, there are some hard and fast rules that always apply across the board. The commission fee we decide on must be paid in two installments. Once we decide on a fee, 50% of that fee must be paid in full up front.

The Creative Cat: January 2015
http://shannonhilsoncreative.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
The Life and Times of a Freelance Writer. Saturday, January 10, 2015. On Creative Goals and Their Ghosts. I'm not sure how or why, but somewhere along the way, I really stopped caring. Then I almost began to move in reverse. These days, I sometimes seek to avoid recognition altogether - very reminiscent of me as a child or teen. In fact, I'm almost scaring myself with how nonchalantly I turn down opportunities to be recognized or celebrated for anything that I'm doing these days. Do I even have any?

The Life and Times of a Freelance Writer. Monday, October 6, 2014. NaNoWriMo and Other Things That Bite. I am sure it won't be long before I'm over here complaining because I once again know what it is to rue the day, but at present, I'm thinking that I might be participating in NaNoWriMo. If I'm really on fire about a given idea), then it's likely that I will never finish it at all. My creative passion is really not terribly shelf stable and I have to seize it while it's actually there. When Im not in f...

The Culinary Cat: July 2013

Thoughts on Cooking, Eating, and Writing About Food. Tuesday, July 16, 2013. My First McNuggets as an Adult. McNuggets and fries with BBQ sauce. awwww, yeah! The types of food that most kids thought were manna from heaven. Bologna and American cheese sandwiches with yellow mustard? Oh, hell no. Macaroni and cheese? Don't make me barf. Chef Boyardee canned pastas? You had to be kidding me. Other favorite options like pizza, hot dogs, and grilled cheeses got maybe a "meh" reaction from me at best. Well, of...

Thoughts on Cooking, Eating, and Writing About Food. Monday, August 20, 2012. The Politics of Ketchup. The Ever-Present Ketchup Cups. It's not like he won't. Eat something without ketchup, but he does strongly, strongly prefer to eat it with. I'm the exact opposite as far as my personal feelings go. I don't have an issue with other people liking ketchup, but I strongly dislike it myself (along with most commonly used condiments). In fact, I will not. It's like I want to crack skulls or something. The fun...

The Personal Blog of a Free-Spirited Thinker. Friday, July 5, 2013. Wolfie With Our American Flag. As my American friends and readers already know, yesterday was Independence Day here in America. It's been so terribly hot here in Monterey over the past couple of weeks, but it finally started to cool down late in the day yesterday. Somehow we hadn't really gotten into the spirit of barbecuing yet this year, but 4th of July is always a great time to start, so that's exactly what we did. That said, we had a...

The Culinary Cat: December 2014

Thoughts on Cooking, Eating, and Writing About Food. Monday, December 8, 2014. This Year's Thanksgiving Turkey (And the Deliciousness Its Leftovers Spawned). We're into adding flavor in other ways. For instance, behold our go-to way for infusing our bird's flash with fantastic flavor for the past two years now. Yes, we still believe in not. Stuffing our bird to help preserve it's moisture and inherent goodness. I also still put herbs and some. We also did an excellent job at making sure our leftovers wer...

The Life and Times of a Freelance Writer. Wednesday, December 12, 2012. State of the Cat: The December Edition. You want to know what's pretty weird? Actually feeling like I have time to blog. That's what's weird. It's not that I literally. Don't usually have time to sit down and type out a post now and then, because I do. It's more that it's hard for me to feel like my time and writing energy is really, truly my own. even on the weekends or the evenings when I'm off. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). When Im ...
