Cute girl, get over here and organize my life?

I concur with previous posts. Get out and take a walk. Nothing wrong with a little sweat. Then you can take a shower and use the nice clean towels!

Hugs, M

I'm a writer. They're used as a supplement for the internet, for reference. The articles I write have to have hard-copy research as well as internet.

Yeah, I've heard of libraries (an old comment, heard it a dozen times) but I'm also a night-owl. I'd rather have my references in my basement than have to get into a car, drive downtown, and check out something I have to drive back downtown to return.

Wow, jealous of all the books AND a place to put them.

I have bookcases and still stacks of books to trip over all over the house.

Reading sounds like a better idea than working. Going to go finish my book.

I specifically sought a house like this one, with room for the books AND an office.

And so, back to work.

I wish I had room for all my books. I have to keep paring down because I have no space!

What kind of stuff do you write?

I have two regular columns going. One is a book review that runs around the country and in Canada. The other is a trivia column. That's where the reference books come into play.

All my books are in boxes, stacked and covered so they look like a dresser or covered table. Have nowhere to put them since I live in a cottage house. My mom wanted me to ditch them but refused! Shame on her!noway

I'm in three anthologies. My trivia column will eventually be a book. It's the slowest way I know of to write a book, but it also doesn't cut into my time for other stuff.....

Creations, think outside the box (pun intended). Use your books as decorating accessories. You can display them, hence, get them out of those boxes!

Hey, that's neat! I bet seeing your stuff in print is pretty cool, isn't it? :smile:

What kind of trivia is the column about?


Creations - Your mom should have known better! Shame on her indeed! :tongue:

The trivia is one subject each week and a few fun facts about that subject.
It's not meant to be any big thang, just something light and fun. I goof a lot when I write it.
