Okay, I may have cheated, sending in two photos. I deliberated for a while – which one should I send? They both said different things. But that’s the purpose of masks, isn’t it? We wear so many. They all show a different face. Part of my heart is in Venice. I don’t know [...]

I So Lost This Challenge.
Posted in Writing on April 26, 2011 | 4 Comments »
This one. I’d like to blame it on the children, or being busy, or the pregnancy, or outer space calling and saying there’s no hope, but the end result is that I lost this challenge, and it sucks. I don’t take losing gracefully, as exhibited by my wild laughing/ranting/grrrring when Robby D. called. Honestly, though? He’s a worthy [...]

Anne Riley is one of those driven-yet-friendly girls that I always want to sidle up to because she’s just enjoyable. She’s creative, intelligent, and friendly, and I so dig women that are friendly!

Posted in Writing, tagged Destination Truth, EVP sessions are boring, Josh Gates, my husband has a doppleganger, reality TV on April 19, 2011 | 4 Comments »
It all started when Ken Wood pointed out that my husband was famous. His argument was compelling. He wrote: “Seriously. At home: On location, filming an episode of Destination Truth.” Who was I to deny the similarities, especially when my husband is dangling the children upside down like that chicken? So I started watching Destination Truth [...]
“Be Mysterious: Writers In Masks” Features Lynsey May
Posted in Writing on April 14, 2011 | 5 Comments »
Most days, Lynsey May wears her responsible mask. This includes, but is not restricted to, being super nice to important clients, managing a small but occasionally highly-strung team of copywriters, paying her bills on time and being paranoid about the future. In the early and late hours, Lynsey’s mask is of a more flamboyant [...]
