- About Me:
- I'm a WestCoaster originally from Atlanta, GA, and I write satirical, Southern, supernatural mystery with unusual characters, humor, and that surprise twist that you didn't but should have seen coming. You could call my characters "quirky", but I just see them as being themselves. Nothing is what it seems in Beaufort Falls.

- Odd Thomas series-Dean Kootz, Beach Music-Pat Conroy, Look Me in the Eye-Pat Robison., Weaveworld-Clive Barker. Recent new favorites--and I read like I'm starved for words at times--To Play The Fool-Laurie R. King, Hoodtown-Christa Faust. I'm in the middle of a reading orgy right now. Soon I'll be back to writing.

The End of an Era
From my blog at:
http://mari-thewritersblock.blogspot.com/
I have a moderately boring life, but, like many people, I'm careful to follow my routine. For a while it was hectic, but with the slowing of the economy, I am finding one thing after another coming to an end. It's almost as if 2009 blasted in, with C H A N G E as its slogan, and nothing IS as it WAS. My schedule changed, eliminating the wonderful Westlake Library book group mid first Wednesday of each month. The same change meant that I… 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?

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.
