Just a hello!
How is everyone today?
The semester here at the university I work for us coming to a close. This means that I get to work to catch up on everything, clean everything up, then just sort of keep things going for a bit, until time comes to prepare for the fall. This is a precious time because I might actually get some writing done. :)
What I've been finding hard lately is balancing between socializing, trying to convince people that Blue Moon is worth a look, and writing the next novel. Ho… Continue

Paper War
I've been waging a war on paper the last few days. So far, paper is winning. The more I clean up, the more of it I find. The problem is, for much of it, I feel an obligation to do a thorough examination and decide whether or not it's worth keeping.The mailperson is my enemy. He, sometimes she, keeps leaving more paper in my mail box. I'm not talking about my Christmas cards, which I cherish, but all the other stuff dropped off for me to sort out. At times it's torture to come home and see the new pile the DH has set on the kitchen table.
I've discovered tons of magazines over a year old. They were trying to hide in a magazine holder on the side of the couch, but not doing a good job of it, since they were spilling over. Of course, I decided to check the headings on the covers to see if some of the information inside might prove valuable. Wouldn't you know it, I was right. Many articles seemed to good to give up.
I've already mentioned here before about how I also have a compulsion to print out emails that seem important to me. The result is I have lots of important pieces of paper. When there's an abundance, which is the most important? And, where's the one I really need? It is a quandary.
What about you? Is paper your enemy? Are you also waging a war against it? Who is winning?

When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.

It is the Christmas Season. We are hurrying from place to place, fighting huge crowds nearly everywhere we go, and we are all enjoying the carols sung and played on the radio while stuck in traffic. We are all determining the best Christmas gift to…

Do you still review books at Midwest? Your review of The Man from Shenandoah in September 2003 is one of my favorites, and I thank you for it.
