Last night I stalked a Treo on ebay. I want one very badly to replace the Palm III that died recently, but I don’t want to pay $400 for a new one. I didn’t bid until the last three minutes, because I hate to announce my presence to the other bidders and...

Based on the comments I got back from the fresh pair of eyes and my other friend, “Women’s Work” is officially in circulation. Woohoo! And I’d like to know–why is a SASE such a bizarre concept? The counterpeople always look at me like...

I just incorporated Misha’s comments into “Women’s Work.” Misha rocks. 🙂 In other news, I think my Palm III is dead. Yes, I know I always say that, but this time I mean it. Switching it on produces a flashing effect followed by a black screen...

I sent “Varmints” out to what I thought was a gloriously inappropriate market with a quick turnaround, and yet they have not seen fit to reject me yet. Which goes to show what I know. 😉 I’m trying to decide if “Women’s Work” is...

I just emailed “Women’s Work”–the current title of the time dilation story–to a friend for comments. I always have to resist the urge to hit “check mail” every ten seconds when I do that. 🙂 Of course, Brian’s seen it...

My writing rejection for my script was not my first writing rejection. When I was in elementary school, there was a magazine called Bananarama–at least, I think that was the name–that the school gave us for free, and they had a weekly cartoon series called...
