Musings 9/7/17: What Exactly is Diversity in Writing?
It’s called Diverse Voices, Own Voices or Marginalized Voices and more recently BAME – I just saw this for the first time yesterday so really, I don’t know how long this has been in use but if I’m using the right definition according to Acronymfinder.com it is, BLACK, ASIAN & MINORITY ETHNIC.

Musing 08/28/17– Weird is the New Brilliant?
I'm a big fan of the Nostalgia Critic! Well it’s sort of an off and on relationship. I gave him up a few times but came back. Why mention this?

Musings 7/30/14 ~ Writer’s Digest: How About Our Lit Agent Stories?
It’s Wednesday and I’m sitting here having my coffee and taking one last stab at looking up literary agents. I’ve been at this game for awhile. I know we’re not supposed to say that, but sometimes you have to wonder why not?
