about me
I live in Northern New England, am a transplanted 14th generation Virginian (and yes, I like New England, too).

I write novels, collect rejection slips, dance whenever I can, design sweaters and knit them, and do a lot of alternative lifestyle writing -- specifically about polyamory. (www.polyamorousmisanthrope.com is my column).

Pay Heed to My Wisdom

The Real Vampires in Fiction
A certain very popular publishing company of women’s romance novels has decided to offer a new line of vanity publishing. accrispin.blogspot.com/2009/1...or.html This link goes to Writers Beware, which might give you a clue to my opinion on the matter. You pay to get your novel published and possibly edited if you’re paying at the higher tier. No, you don’t have the full force of the marketing department behind the book. Neither are you going to be abl... read more

Spock Pumpkin
I made this to try to cheer up my son. He's got the flu and really shouldn't be trick or treating. He was going to dress as Spock, but decided not to do so since he's ill and not going trick or treating.

Tell Me a Story
I don't like sitcoms in general. It's not that I've no sense of humor at all. I do. It's very small, harsh and (as one friend put it) sanguine.

But another reason I generally don't like sitcoms is that they're weak, very weak, on what I go to almost any art for.

Tell me a story.

No matter what else, I need a story to engage my mind and emotions. My tastes in this are pretty child-like. When I want a story, I want interesting characters, a good guy, a bad guy, a concrete problem fo... read more

Just a Thought
If you dislike an individual, especially a public figure who desires power, I'm not sure boosting the signal is the best way to keep said individual out of public consciousness and thus out of power.

Just a little thought.

But, I'm Not Good at Math
People sometimes talk about not being good at math as if it's cute. I boggle. I'm a writer and a lot of what I do every day involves math, abstracting concepts and the like. If I couldn't do math, I couldn't:

* Knit a sweater or a sock,
* Write a business plan
* Plan a book (don't laugh. Laying out concrete ideas in a logical order is a form of math. Don't you guys remember your high school geometry? I don't know about your class, but my class didn't involve many numbers).

Re: The Conversation with the spouse (in Polyamory) Grunt. Scratch yourself a lot. Make sure to hawk and spit. It'll impress him with your manliness and assure him you're man enough for his woman.

Oh... Yeah, okay fine.

Be yourself. I have the impression you're just fine with hanging with... read more

Re: OkCupid (in Polyamory) I'm very sorry you had a bad experience.

I met a partner there. We're still involved and enjoy each other's company a great deal.

Re: 10 Tips for Great Poly Relationships (in Polyamory) That is awesome.

I am consistently amazed at how seldom this is seen as a desirable habit to which to aspire, even among people I'd consider successful, responsible adults.

Re: Need "Taken" sign on forehead? (in Polyamory) Fourthed.

If we teach people to ask for what they want, getting indignant because one was asked isn't going to work out.

Polite "No, thank you"s work wonders.
