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

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

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.

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

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.

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: can i complain to the choir for a moment? (in Polyamory) You obviously need a new social circle.

This is when I LOVE being an introvert. I actually find not hanging out, and knitting instead, lots of FUN. I don't HAVE to put up with that kind of shit or wither and die emotionally from lack of contact.

Re: Date together or seperately? (in Polyamory) I don't think dating together solves honesty problems.

If it POSSIBLE that dating together solves insecurity problems, but it is so often concurrent with big insecurity problems that someone doesn't want to face and isn't planning to solve that... read more
