There’s been a bit of a shake up here at Alice Audrey dot com. Fiction Friday 55 moved to Tuesday. I made a remarkably smooth transition to Friday Fictioneers instead. They seem to be a great group, though I still miss many of my Fiction Friday friends.
About That Post:
T13: How to Live with a Hoarder. I suspect this post will become one of my classics. It was a lot of fun to write. Something about a chance to belly ache about my bruised shins appealed to me.
T13: Kid Quotes Kid Quotes has become a semi-regular feature around here. I generally come up with one about once a year. In the past there were more quotes from my son. Lately he’s been coming up with those great one liners when I have no way of writing them down. I must have lost a dozen great lines that way. The Girl, on the other hand, will repeat them for me until I’ve got them down.
We’re Home. If you haven’t been following Jack and Jill, which posts every Saturday afternoon, then you will only get half the joke. Clearly Tina (Mom) and Theodor have been up to a lot, but Jack and Jill can only guess at the violent cat and mouse game the two have been engaged in for weeks. Meanwhile, Jack landed a commercial airline’s plane in the middle of the jungle just a couple of weeks ago. A wooly mammoth in the living room? Well, considering that Theodor is a geneticist, that’s nothing.
I generally try to avoid using suggestions from the same person two weeks in a row, but these worked so well, almost as if I’d planned it. Gotta love what my mental basement hands me. Anyway, the Jack and Jill suggestion box is still very much open. If you are in the mood, drop me a few words.
How’s the Writing Going?
It’s been dribs and drabs ever since National Novel Writing Month. There have been a couple of months in which the only thing I’ve written at all is Suzie’s House, and the rest of the time has been raw revision.
I’m working on two books at once right now. The first is a Science Fiction I wrote for Camp NaNo a couple of years ago. The other is Beautiful Spanish Hussy.
Etsy Gallery
I’ve thrown in the towel on my Etsy store. In the two years I’ve been feeding it, I’ve only made one direct sale. That was to a friend. Because they list the number of sales and the start date, I have no hopes of making anything of it. I’ll still have a few photo downloads available there. So if you see something on my blog you think would make a good screen saver, check there. I’ll have a larger, cleaned up version available. Otherwise, I’m letting it run itself.
Instead, I’ve joined with some local people to form a new etsy store called Faire Miscellany. The same origami earrings and hemp necklaces I was trying to sell at Alice’s Etsy Store will be showing up there, along with some of my embroidery and some sewing projects. I have much higher hopes for this one. Here are some of the things being offered:

For the last six months my blog was completely taken over by my two week vacation in Mongolia. Now it’s time to get back to my regularly scheduled front page. 🙂
