Having Friday off for Veteran's Day was a total gift. I spent most of the day and most of Saturday building my business website, feeling inspired from some particularly great networking conversations on Friday afternoon. (Hell, I knew it was going to be a good day when I had a … Read More »
10,000 Words Reached!
I made my 10,000 word goal for the first week. 10,899 to be exact. And, as promised, here's another excerpt from my NaNoWriMo novel: Father Maloney was a big man from Galway, built like a hurler. His massive head, a square face capped in wispy white hair, seemed to balance … Read More »
A Letter to My 18-Year Old Self
Dear 18-year old Keiko, It's early November 2000. You're swamped with school work; you're already reconsidering the major you came in with (music ed/vocal performance) and you're euphoric that you and Larry got back together just over a month ago. It's a big time in … Read More »
My Novel Idea (for NaNoWriMo)
So with absolutely no prep, I've dived head first into NaNoWriMo. I'm proud to say that I managed to crap out write 1,795 words last night. I'll be updating my word counts manually under my Awesomesauce sidebar widget. Believe it or not, for all of the writing I do on virtually … Read More »

It's been busy week at work (between both jobs!) and trying to spend my spare time either sending out resumes and cover letters or writing my 3-part series next week on my story of converting to Judaism. Right... cover letters and resumes... So I realized I haven't actually … Read More »
The Storyteller Within Us
We are always telling stories. If you think about it, blogging is a kind of virtual storytelling. We post the stories of our lives. We embellish, we censor and sometimes we just very candidly lay everything out there with abandon. We choose our words with care for they carry the … Read More »
Summer Doldrums
So... the Blog Hop Extravaganza of Talent seems not to have taken off, as evidenced by the lack of videos uploaded to the Vimeo group. Including my own :-D So, let's call it a bust - no harm, no foul. It's all good; I'll eventually post a video of me in all my opera-singing … Read More »
