| Stacy

Due to this post from Roni Loren (thank you for the warning, Roni) I’ve decided to remove most photos. First off, I would like to say my figure doesn’t quite look like any of the women above.

Thriller Thursday: The Sweet Face of Pure Evil

September 13, 2011

| Stacy

Mary Bell in 1968, aged 10. Look at that face. So sweet, almost cherubic. An innocent child, right? Wrong. Mary Bell murdered two toddlers when she was just ten years old, making her one of the youngest (if not the youngest) serial killers in history and a true psychopath. Mary Bell lived about 275 miles … Read the rest

September 12, 2011

| Stacy

I know the artist used the wrong form of “you’re” in the pic. But it was too funny not to use. I’ve been tagged! Rachel Harrie is hosting the Writer’s Platform Building Campaign, and the wonderful Tiffany White has tagged me.

Row80 Update and Remembrance

September 11, 2011

| Stacy

I debated about posting today. It seems insensitive to be blabbing about my mundane week and problems on a day like today. As I watched the memorial service this morning, I felt the same inability to grasp what had happened as I did ten years ago. I’ve never been to New York City. The tallest … Read the rest

Manic Monday: Row80 Day Late, Dollar Short

September 5, 2011

| Stacy

Not really a dollar short, but I had to use the cliche. My mother is visiting while dad’s out of town, so I haven’t been very productive since Thursday afternoon. I did get my edits back on the synopsis, query, and first pages of Light and Dark, and I’m really pleased with the comments and … Read the rest

Due to this post from Roni Loren (thank you for the warning, Roni) I’ve decided to remove most photos from Thriller Thursday. I hope you’re still able to enjoy them!

August 30, 2011

Most of you know I lost a ton of weight over the winter. If not, you can read about that here. Keeping the weight off is a lifelong commitment, and since Grace is now in kindergarten, not eating everything in sight has become increasingly difficult. My sweet tooth fights for control every day. The house … Read the rest

Manic Monday: Butt Pain and Lessons Learned

August 29, 2011

| Stacy

Due to this post from Roni Loren (thank you for the warning, Roni) I’ve decided to remove most photos. I have a pain in the butt. Literally. I don’t know what I’ve done, but in the last couple of months, I’ve had a lot of pain in my tail bone. Sitting for very long periods in … Read the rest
