An Irish Limerick (Send the Kids from the Room)

On March 17, 2012, in Just for Fun, Miscellaneous, St. Paddy's Day, by rsguthrie

I love St. Paddy’s Day. There are a hundred reasons why and not one of them has to do with the rich tradition of the day; too often we celebrate a holiday without the slightest clue as to what the deep, historical meaning might be. All right, stop cringing—good lord, I thought you were actually […]

Does Bette Midler Follow You?

On March 15, 2012, in Celebrities, Miscellaneous, Parody, Twitter, by rsguthrie

Twitter ratios. You probably don’t pay much attention to them. Or maybe you do. Either way you likely have some set of rules (even loose ones) that you consult when deciding whether or not you are going to follow someone (or more importantly, follow them back). I used to follow everyone back who followed me. […]

You’re all familiar, I assume, with Twofer Tuesdays? This is when a radio station plays two songs in a row from every artist that day. Well in a way this is a Twofer for me today—I have the honor of hosting another guest blog AND it is also one of my favorite Indie writers around. […]

 

Springing Forward, Losing Ground

On March 11, 2012, in Miscellaneous, Parody, WIP, by rsguthrie

  It’s 6:44 AM here in Colorado and the forecast is Springlike. At least Mother Nature seems to be on my side today. But the problem for me today was never going to be the weather, good or bad. I’ve got a different nemesis this time of year, and he is a cowardly sort. He […]

And if you work an off-shift and today is your Wednesday (or God forbid, your MONDAY)…well, I’m sorry. But the rest of us are freaking PUMPED. (You can laugh at us next week.) So the other […]

On March 8, 2012, in Book Release, Teaser/Sample, WIP, by rsguthrie

Most often here I write about the market, offer writing tips, host wonderful guest bloggers. I really enjoying penning this blog. But it shouldn’t be too surprising for me to share that there’s nothing I love more than writing my books. Is there anything better than hunkering down and going elbow-deep in the art? Can […]
