Pseudo-Sanity Breaks
Posted on | 9 months, 3 weeks ago, mid-morning | 1 Comment
Yesterday I attended to some business in the morning, and then took a break for lunch with Kat – followed by a little shopping around Ballard. I picked up a new dress to wear to my brother’s graduation (lavender, simple, stretchy knit), plus a new bucky-stuffed travel pillow (left my old one in OKC, dammit), and a few other odds and ends. Then I headed home where more business-stuff awaited (it never ends, really), and today I’m starting it all over again … with the added fun of laundry, a trip to the bank, and packing for Washington D.C. (I leave in the morning, before dawn).
But to answer a FAQ – no, just this once it’s not a business trip; and no I won’t be signing or doing any events. This jaunt to the East Coast is strictly a family visit, to watch my baby brother launch out of college. And also to feel old.*
So! Today there is much to do, not least of all catch up on some idea-slinging and brain-wringing for the day-job so I can send off a fat batch of potentially useful material before dashing off to the other side of the continent. Therefore, I shall cut off my internet time thusly … and if I don’t see you over on the Twitters (or the Facebooks, to which the Twitters cross-post), then I’ll catch up to you sometime this weekend. If the jet-lag doesn’t get me first!
* Yes, I’m quite a lot older than him. My own college graduation was in 1998, if that tells you anything.

Congrats to your brother Madame Priest! I have student of my own, my twenty year old son. We are at the beginning of his journey to graduation from college.
I am writing to tell you of my new Blog for Writers trying to become Authors, recently created by yours truly, CK Rifle (AKA Candace Kathleen Anne Riffle).
Since I am in the midst of writing my very fist manuscript, and the Blog is so new I have only four followers(but they are MY followers, and I am truly honored to have them)I have a ton of extra space, so I am posting pics of books by Authors I like, in this case Boneshaker, and links to their websites, as well as links to bits of the best writing and manuscript to novel advice I can find.
If this is not okay by you, give me a shout out, and I will remove it forthwith! But if it is okay, I’ll leave the links and pic of your book in place on my Blog. FYI I am using no excerpts. If you would like to mosey around, here is the link http://ckrifle.blogspot.com/
Well, thanks for listening, hope your trip to DC goes well, and, once again, a big congrats to your little brother…it’s a long road to graduate from high school, longer from college! Hooray for Alex, he made it with style!
Sincerely,
CK Rifle
