Happy 3rd Anniversary

I felt like I needed to post myself a happy 3rd, but not in the mood to write much. It's hot tonite, I'm tired, and my eyes are itchy. Maybe tomorrow.

Taos. New Mexico. Land of Enchantment

I'm here in Taos, NM to attend the Summer Writers Conference hosted by University of New Mexico. I'll get my whole manuscript workshopped, but not until Thursday!! Saving the best or the worst for last?

I'm already learning tons, can't wait to apply it to my work and begin the process of revision.




Weather is nice. but dry dry dry. I hope the life is not evaporating out of me!! and I'm drinking so much water that I feel like I am spending most of my time in the bathroom... yeah... too much information :-)

LA Bloggers Live ReCap and Podcast

Longtime blogger and husband to Leahpeah, ... Joe Crawford of artlung.com kicked off the first ever L.A. Bloggers Live! event, reading a few posts from way back, I'll title it "Onward."


Next up, Deezee from Confessional Highway, reminiscing about the LA Forum... she must be one of the coolest moms on the the planet!


Next up, Neil of Citizen of the Month. If you think he's funny in writing, just wait until you hear him live with this post, My Russian Bride. We even got to meet Sophia:


I had to follow Neil. It was tough. He rocked it. I gave it my best shot, representin' for the San Diego Bloggers.... a little Barbie rant and a little poetry:


Abigail from My Life According to Me shared a couple of "Letter to a travelling lover" posts-- she thought it would be easier to read heart felt posts about an old boyfriend!


Wildbell Will shared a great post about the perils of biking in LA. (you couldn't pay me to do that even if I were in great shape! I don't even like to drive around LA!)


Peter from The Buddah Diaries, shared a post called The Aging Suit, a poetic musing about, well, aging... delivered in a lovely British accent!


LA Daddy, Tim shared with us a post about A Boy (Tim) and his bike and 300 Spartans...


Leah finally took the stage as a blogger and not just as a hostess with the mostess, and read her post, about (bump-step) running away (bump step)....


and with a suprise, last minute entry into the LA Bloggers Live event, turns out the hostess of the Tangier Lounge is also a blogger... So with a little extra time left, Marissa of the Engle Angle joined us.
