It's about time the vampires got crackin'!

Posted in General at 1:59 pm by Catherine Schaff-Stump

For those of you who are wondering what happened to my Facebook account, and my MySpace account, I've just deleted them. MySpace wasn't doing anything for me, and as to Facebook, well, wave an intellectual property flag in front of an academic, and see what happens. I have found it to be more of a [...]

02.14.09 | Solving the Braid Problem

Posted in General at 9:15 am by Catherine Schaff-Stump

Over here I've left my usually friends locked entry open, because I want to share my Valentine's Day experience. I so love my husband. *** In bed this morning, I figured out how to solve the faerie novel problem. I make it into 3 faerie novels. The braid strands will each be individual books. Well, [...]

02.13.09 | Take That, World Englishes!

Posted in General at 7:56 pm by Catherine Schaff-Stump

Looking for something fun to do on a Friday night, I finished that paper on Japanese senmon gakko for the CCID conference. Eh, it's a living. I'll be in Orlando, FL from February 28th to March 3rd. There'll be a day of Disney in there. Disney is too cool to totally abstain from. March 2 [...]

02.13.09 | Writer Outreach

Posted in General at 8:20 am by Catherine Schaff-Stump

I'd like to do some different things for a while here at Writer Tamago. Although I know that watching my word count meters is as exciting as watching paint dry (and who'd want to miss that, by jingie!), I think you might also be interested reading about other writers, their works, and ambitions as well [...]

02.12.09 | Dark Inspiration

Posted in General at 9:10 pm by Catherine Schaff-Stump

I'd like to thank everyone who's been kind enough to offer up support during my road to medical discovery. I appreciate it. I was hit with some serious inspiration last night as we were driving back from Bryon's uncle's visitation. About anything familial gets me spinning right now, which is why my writing seems to [...]

02.12.09 | Why I Read the Classics: The Count of Monte Cristo

Posted in General at 8:50 pm by Catherine Schaff-Stump

Alexandre Dumas is one of my favorite authors. No one does adventurous camaraderie underscored by deep relationship like my man Alexandre. His books are thick, substantial, weighty, easy to fall into. My favorite Dumas books are his Musketeer books. I have a strong identity factor with D'Artagnan, and I love the complexity of the Musketeers. [...]

02.11.09 | The Rest of the Story

Posted in General at 2:10 pm by Catherine Schaff-Stump

...I wish that heading were about a manuscript or an agent. However, this is the follow up to my health information. All of the blood tests show me to be healthy, which is a blessing. My thyroid is fine, so we have decided on the verdict of situational depression. I'm not surprised I didn't see [...]

02.10.09 | Today in Writer Land

Posted in General at 5:02 pm by Catherine Schaff-Stump

Today in Writer Land, we worked on this lil academic ditty: English Language Education and the Japanese Senmongakko. CCID conference is coming up in 3 weeks, and I have to put a polish on the paper and the handout, and I have to organize the presentation. Man, I know you wish you were me! Caveat: [...]

New Blood is Thicker than Water for the vampirically challenged. *** Edits complete for Sister Night, Sister Moon, so that process is moving right along. *** Reading up about Norway while students test. Catherine
