Hey, SpecList! Would it be helpful for me to set up a feed for new releases? I'm looking for a way to read in advance of awards season, and I thought it might be helpful to set something up that authors/publishers could contribute to when a novel, short story, poem, etc. is released. Your thoughts?

My Witches of Scotland tartan fabric arrived today. Designed to memorialize women murdered as witches in Scotland, every thread has meaning. I'll write a more folkloristic discussion of it later, but meanwhile, what should this modern witch and descendant of Scottish women make with the fabric?

Finishing up a pile of year-end writing maintenance. I might have mentioned that I run my career from an internal wiki using the same CMS that runs Wikipedia (MediaWiki). I've just updated to the latest LTS version and love the new look and functionality. Do any of you keep a personal wiki?

Sean gave me a book nook kit for Yuletide, and we put it together over the last couple of days. I had never built a model of any kind before, but I loved, loved, loved building this! Also, I think it's adorable.

Early morning at Bean There in Baddeck. Sean is dropping the truck off at the shop, and Christmas carols are playing on the radio. I love our village, but especially on early, quiet mornings like this one.

So, I recently converted to Buddhism, but I still celebrate Christmas.
I just wrap myself in paper, sit under the tree,
