The Strange Men in Pinstriped Suits Blog Award

So, my blog has been deemed strange enough for a pinstriped suit award by the wonderfully odd K.M. McElhinny (clickable).

The Rules!

1. Add the logo of the award to your blog post.

2. Add a link to the person who awarded it to you (the strange ones will come after you if you don't...well, not really, but it sounds good).

3. Nominate seven other blogs telling us why you think the recipient is strange enough to deserve the award.

4. Leave a message for those nominated on their blogs.

5. And, if you email catephoenix(at)gmail(dot)com and tell her you've received the award for your strangeness, she'll enter you in the biggest kick-ass Strange Men competition ever. Details over at strangemeninpinstripesuits.com (click on the award link on the home page)

Firstly, my nominees:

1) Miss Alexia for her delicious blog, My Muse is a Zombie.

2) Miss Damien Grintalis for her blog, Damien Walters Grintalis.

3) Next is Miss Stacy Graham for her blog, Betwixt and Between.

4) Has to be Mr. K. Allen Wood. They just don't make them stranger than the guy behind The Eyesore Times.

5) I love this strange little undead doggie over at What do you mean I should start a blog?

6) Adam Slade is a great writer and just strange enough over at his Editing Hat.

7) And last but not least, Matt over at Pensive Sarcasm is just great.

And that's that. Check out these excellent blogs and congratulations to everyone. I love reading your posts, so keep posting!

Okay, time to kick butt and chew bubblegum

I'm so bad at this blogging thing. I have nothing to blog about. My life is fairly mundane... write, research, write, edit, revise, edit, revise, look for appropriate mag markets, write... feed my spawn at some point, write... almost write a blog post and then delete the draft because it's stupid.

I'm a fiction writer. Writing about myself is tough. Or even writing about my writing. I am selfish and don't want to talk about what I'm writing.

But, I'm going to make a conscious effort to blog more. Dunno how much more, or what it will be about, but I'm going to at least try.

One thing I'm hoping to do is a "Spotlight Weird" weekly post about an interesting horror/spec fic/darkish magazine for writers to have a look at... and hopefully readers too. I send stuff out to these guys... the least I can do is share the love, right? That starts Saturday.

So... I don't know what else I'll be blogging about in my "I'm going to blog three times a week" thing, but it'll be something.

But for now...

Peace & Love, y'all

Time for Change!

So, now that things are moving along, I do believe it's time to make some changes to the blog. Over the next week or so, I'll be changing theme, my blog title, adding additional pages. Keep an eye out for other news from me, coming soon--hopefully all the changes will be made before then.

Peace & Love, y'all
