Writer Tamago

I should add that I will be at Convergence this weekend. We'll be leaving any time now. (Kind of hanging around for Fed Ex because my 25 anniversary wedding ring upgrade is supposed to be arriving. Husbands care, it seems.) Most of the time I'll be taking it easy, because Convergence is generally my con [...]

Oslo. The name says it all. Doesn't the word Oslo conjure up...um...images of romance? adventure? How about expensive? I would contend that if Oslo isn't the most expensive city in the world, it's in the top five. I can now say I've had a $4 bottle of diet Coke at a convenience store. Oslo turned [...]

Before too much writing, I'd like to thank Shannon Ryan, Aric Stewart, and Diana Nevins for donations to the write-a-thon. You guys have all been added to the writing blog, and thanks for helping to support the burgeoning talent of new writers who might receive these scholarship funds. *** I have a few more thoughts [...]

(The next two entries in the journal will discuss our time in Turku, Finland.) *** Dear Mrs. Marcu: My apologies in writing to you if you don't exist. Since I'm a writer of fiction, that doesn't bother me as much as it might bother some. I also know your last name wouldn't be Marcu, because [...]

And so it begins!!! Please think about donating. Because then you can read my writing blog, which is only for contributors. A mere $10, a free live journal sign up, and you're in. If you're a $25 or more contributor, I'll critique up to 20 pages of work for 3 of you. If you're not [...]

Yes! Just in time before the write-a-thon begins! It's another VP XIII Profile! This time I'm lucky enough to talk to Robyn Hamilton, and I think her picture speaks for itself. *** Tamago: Why do you write? Robyn: Really, I can’t imagine not writing. It’s what I do. Editing isn’t nearly as natural; I have [...]

Letting you all know that I am here, stateside, safe and sound. I will be attending to post funeral things tomorrow, and should be back to a relatively normal posting schedule thereafter, trying to post about the trip and so on. The majority of my work this next month will be for the Clarion Write-a-thon. [...]

And here's another blog post into the future from me. Today I should be driving back from Minnesota, reunited with Bryon. I wanted to finish up the posts I had promised before the trip. Earlier, I talked about skin care. I am not an expert, but I did work with a cosmetologist recently, so I [...]

While I am winging my way home over the Atlantic, I thought I would test out the travel to the future technology of my blog. This is a small review of X-Men: First Class. So...the first thing I've got to say is that the film isn't as good as many of the critics have been [...]

Eleven hours remain until I head for the airport. I slept something like 12 hours yesterday, and felt pretty good this morning. But grief, he is a sneaky devil. We went into St. Johann's Church, and that's all it took to wear me out. I lit a candle for Neal, and tried not to lose [...]
