Music Monday – Lindsey Stirling feat. Lzzy Hale: Shatter Me
I Love Lindsey Stirling. So. Much. She's got the most incredible and amazing talent. The visualization in her videos is simply stunning. They tell a story through music and those types of videos have always been my favorite since the 80's and the mini-movies that...
Why My Old Books Get An Overhaul
When I get an older book back from a publisher or in the case of Christmas Wishes, out of an anthology, I tend to not release it back into the wild blue yonder of the book world without a few tweaks. I often go back and add words. Most of the time, double what it was...
10K Weekends for Writers – January 5-8, 2017
Happy New Year, Writers! It's a new year and another chance for us to write ALL THE WORDS! I pledge to be better at this. And I hope... Like really, really hope I can't get more people involved. This could be such a fun thing, if I could just get it to grow. So, the...
Music Monday – Halestorm: Here’s To Us
It's the start of a New Year... Here's a toast to the old, with wishes for the new... And I will NOT apologize for the language the band uses... Here's to the clean slate and promise and possibility of 2017! And a big FUCK YOU to 2016! ~lissa
2016-2017 College Football Bowl Games, Day 12
Well... AutoZone Liberty Bowl, Georgia vs TCU (A Win! Thank goodness 'cause for a while, it didn't look so good for me, but definitely ended well!) Hyundai Sun Bowl, North Carolina vs Stanford (Not a win. A total bust. And let me just say, a ref that causes the ball...

I Miss Bookstores
I know I've used this image before, but I love it. A stack of books reaching high into the sky and mixing into the scenery, weaving stories. I mean, really, for lovers of the written word, what isn't there to love about it? The loss of bookstores makes me sad. The...
2016-2017 College Football Bowl Games, Days 10 & 11
I can't say the last two days have gone too much better in regards to my record. I can't say the record is improving, but I have won some key match-ups in my household and that goes a long way to restoring my confidence. Here's hoping it won't be all that short...
There are no words, and yet…
I was 6 years old when the first Star Wars movie came out. 6. I have watched Carrie Fisher all my life. 40 years. At the time, I didn't know what was so incredible about her or what was going on in the world. As I grew up, other things invaded my consciousness and it...
2016-2017 College Football Bowl Games, Days 8 & 9
And... My losing streak has NOT improved. Unless you count continuing to lose a good thing, then by all means... St. Petersburg Bowl - Miami (Oh) vs Mississippi State (Yay! A win!) Quick Lane Bowl - Boston College vs Maryland (Yay! Another win... Can it continue? Can...
