Happy HAPPY Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! I’m happy to say we didn’t float away in last weekend’s flood, although we weren’t able to leave the neighborhood for a couple days. It made for a soggy birthday, but the chickens loved the rain – it brought up all the worms and they had a feast! In even […]

Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! The past week has been a mind-boggling whirlwind for me. I thought my foot was broken (it’s not – just a burst blood vessel and shoes that rub against it, making it worse), we’ve had three different sets of people come to our house for various upkeep reasons, with another two

Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! Yesterday was officially the first day of pumpkin spice season Autumn, and to celebrate I decided it was time for a big change in my life. It’s been a year since I cut my hair, and it was looooong (for me). I hate my hair touching my neck, and it was

Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! I woke up an hour and a half early this morning, so I’m a zombie today. Good thing I like brains (no really, fried brains is one of the tastiest foods I’ve ever eaten). Too bad there’s no place that I know of in Charleston that sells them :/ I think

Happy Friday, Aledan Merfolk! I’m recovering from a nasty cold that kept me home on the couch yesterday, but don’t worry: hubs made a fantastic spicy dill pickle soup last night that has me feeling much better today (the Nyqil also helped). Since I was couch-ridden, I spent most of the day watching HGTV and

Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! The Busy World of Becka hasn’t calmed down at all, but things have definitely changed. I’m in the middle of revising StO from present to past tense, and debating switching it from first person to third (please no). I’m fixing my is/was issue, and finding plenty of weak spots where the

Happy Monday, Aledan Merfolk! I’m back from my week-long trip home to see my parents and sister, and wow – so much has happened! As you may have guessed from my last post, I submitted StO to #PitchWars and am impatiently awaiting the mentee announcement. Luckily, my time in Michigan kept me from wringing my

Happy Monday, Aledan Merfolk! I haven’t been online as much as usual lately, and I’m afraid that’s going to continue for a while. In fact, I have some bad news: there will be no PonyFest this year. My dad will be in the hospital for his bone marrow transplant during the normal PonyFest time, and

Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! I’ve had a bit of time to recover from the end of Draft Four, and I’ve already heard back from a couple of friends that they loved it (the CPs have been curiously quiet…). I’ve been spending the week working on the synopsis and query, and although the synopsis is still

Happy Tuesday, Aledan Merfolk! I’ve had a whirlwind couple of weeks working on Speak the Ocean, and I’m happy to say that I finished Draft Four at lunch! Draft Four was by far the most difficult, because it included looking for all those little problem words I overuse while writing. Guess what my biggest problem
