Bit of Ivory

Snow, Snow, Snow, Snow, SNOW!! (if you’ve ever seen White Christmas, you know the tune for this). Okay, suddenly the word “snow” looks really weird. Anyway, last night at about 6:00, it started to snow. Well, it made a valiant effort at least. The flakes were teeny, and nothing was sticking. We Utahns scoff at […]

Just after writing the below, I had a patron come to the desk. She was a professor, and was writing an article on. . .fan fiction. *giggle* Oh, just to bring this to everyone’s notice– I changed the order of the buttons on the comments window. Lou was right– it makes no sense for the […]

It’s so much fun to actually create something, you know? Anyway, I’ve already got one beta back on IFL 1 (thank you, Lou!). Waiting on a couple more. Although I might re-send Melanie and Teri the new version, since it is much improved. In fact, I think I will. It’ll have to wait until I […]

I should be doing homework, but instead I’m writing. I’m almost done with chapter one of I Found Love. Jen’s success at SQ (she’s got 8 reviews already, more than I’ve had in 5 months) has finally given me the kick in the pants I needed to actually write this plot bunny that’s been hopping […]

Jen is now Gwendolyn on SQ. On the Professor’s Bookshelf. I was supposedly given a N.E.W.T. as well, but here I languish in the freakin’ Library, wasting away from lack of reviews and readers. *sigh* Not that I’m not happy for Jen, mind. I am. But I want to be on the Bookshelf too.

In kind of a ironic twist, it’s run by the same person who designed the Blogskin I downloaded for Virtual Parchment. Anyway, it cost $10 to access, and while […]

My Social Dance class is going to perform at the Social Dance lab. We’re doing a waltz. I’d feel much better about it if we’d been able to *really* practice, but we only finished choreographing the thing this morning, and only ran through the whole thing all together twice. I suppose we’ll be all right, […]

I have so many different things to blog about that I can’t seem to think of a unifying theme. So here we go. Preference was a blast. Josh turns every dance into a production number. It was great fun to pantomime to the lyrics of “Dancing Queen” and “I Will Survive” and such things. He […]

She’s now on SQ! Jen submitted her story yesterday, and to our surprise, was given an instant N.E.W.T.! Even I wasn’t that lucky. Anyway, I guess I’m now her official beta reader, since she won’t be getting an SQ one. So everyone should look to see Retrospection appearing soon on Sugar Quill!
