Hi! It's August 24th! In two months, I'll be 38. Two months after that is Xmas Eve, for those who celebrate religiously and/or secularly. And a week after THAT, 2020 will be ending! I don't know many people who will be sorry to see it go, although I can't pretend it hasn't had some amazing … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: August 24, 2020

Been a rough couple of days around here; I think *gestures expansively * all of this is just getting to me a bit. All good though -- we're almost to ALBUM RELEASE DAY for the charity EP and I can't wait! (You can still pre-order here.) Other than that, there's not a lot going on … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: August 17, 2020

Hi, Saturday Songwriters, Twitter pals, and other folks wandering by! How are y'all tonight? (Well, it's night here; it's the next day for some of you, I know...good morning/day to y'all!) The world's gone crazy, maybe. So tell me three good things! They can be large or small or anywhere in between. 🙂 I'll go … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: August 10, 2020

I wasn't planning on it, but I'm going to be dragging out my sewing machine (Jolene, my modern gal, although I may see about going antique for part of this), dusting out her innards, and putting her to work again on masks. More. Masks. I've already made over 800 of them. Some of these will … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: July 20, 2020

Hi, y'all. The next Dresden Files book drops tomorrow. It's been years. I know where I'll be! Except... I'm right in the middle (well, 43%, according to my Kindle app) of The Priory of the Orange Tree, and it is SO GOOD, y'all. So.good. I think I'll put it down to read Peace Talks, and … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: July 13, 2020

One thing I know is this: if you get a chance to leap for a brass ring, even if you're absolutely certain that everyone else is in a better position to make the jump and has longer legs than you do besides, take the leap anyway.

Hi, y'all! Did you have a good weekend? We did; yesterday we celebrated my oldest child's FIFTEENTH birthday!! Where does the time go?? Other news: I'm working on getting my Etsy shop up and running again after spending my mask-making time with it in Vacation Mode; I want to list my pendants and chainmaille bracelets. … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: June 15, 2020

#BLM #BLACKLIVESMATTER #JUSTICEFORGEORGEFLOYD Black lives matter. The job of the police force is -- or should be -- to protect and serve the citizenry, the banner of which absolutely always must include every citizen of color. Good police officers de-escalate confrontation. They are willing to put their own lives on the line rather than cross … Continue reading Mel’s Monday Musings: June 1, 2020
