What I've Learned

Posted by Barely Knit Together on Jul 6, 2009 in Writing

This semi-hiatus has not afforded me much more time than I had before taking it.  One thing that has improved is the state of my home, but I can’t be too specific on that just yet.
I have learned a few things, and here they are, in no particular order:
1. There’s a reason writers say, “Write [...]

The Incredible Shrinking Blogger

Posted by Barely Knit Together on Jun 21, 2009 in Writing

Ha! Don’t I wish!
No, folks, I don’t mean my waist line.  That would be great, but I’m actually talking about the blog itself.
See, I have a problem.  I spend way too much time writing and commenting around WordPress, and not nearly enough time on other things. Like say, sleeping. Writing things that might make money [...]

Guess What! I'm An Award Winning Writer

Posted by Barely Knit Together on Jun 8, 2009 in Writing

Now that I’ve lured you in, you should know there’s no money involved. Do you hear that, teenage daughter?
But a new reader and a blog I just started following, Eric Richardville at Soupalaxy, has given me The Cherry Pie Award.
I hope this is not a joke at my expense, wherein I get a pie in [...]

Kidnapped! The Saga Continues

Posted by Barely Knit Together on Jun 4, 2009 in People Are Idiots, Writing

Stardate June 4, 2009.  Day 3 in captivity.
Wait a minute.  Is it day three, really?  Those hours in the trunk of the Pacer really threw me. 
My treatement at the hands of this dastardly duo has been moderately taxing.  They tried to feed me a Big Mac, which everyone knows is the most disgusting creation ever [...]

For My Adoring Fans

Posted by Barely Knit Together on May 29, 2009 in Why you should maybe rethink the whole reproducing thing, Writing

I’ve been doing this blog thing for a while now.  Believe it or not, I existed before I was “discovered” by Ram Ventkaartakarawhatever.  But since his comment, I find myself deluged by well-meaning but crazed visitors.
So in the interest of holding their (and your) interest – I bring you a resurrected post from the early [...]

Too Long For Twitter

Posted by Barely Knit Together on May 15, 2009 in A Bit on the Dark Side, Writing

It’s hot and my feet are old.  It used to be that I had time to make myself into a girl, but now it’s all I can do to make myself get up.  All I want right now is to put down this laundry and this sad life and put on lip gloss that smells [...]

It's "I Need Therapy" Thursday

Posted by Barely Knit Together on May 13, 2009 in A Bit on the Dark Side, Mental Stability, Writing

I’m busy chopping up pieces of paper and trying to assemble something like a coherent story, or a set of notecards, or at least some coasters from it, and in the mean time, I am SUCKING like a suckling pig sucks on an apple, or maybe more like a sucking chest wound.
Between teaching myself HTML [...]

Virginia Summers

Posted by Barely Knit Together on May 7, 2009 in Writing

I was supposed to take time off, but I give up – I can’t stop myself.  I have to tell you something.
I want to tell you what summer tastes like here, what its sounds are and how it wraps itself around you in a heady fabric of humidity and flowery fog.
I wasn’t outside tonight for [...]

Choose Your Own Adventure

Posted by Barely Knit Together on May 7, 2009 in Writing

Look, folks. I’m taking a few days off. I have work to do and a husband gone with the “army” (like I really believe that old scheme!) for the weekend. Plus it’s Mothers Day for pete’s sake (should that be capitalized?). So I’m going to make like a mother and piss [...]

God Save the Bream

Posted by Barely Knit Together on May 4, 2009 in People Are Idiots, Writing

Ok, I admit it.  The title has nothing at all to do with this post.  In fact, it has little meaning beyond being a play on the title of a song.  The reference will be understood by only a few privileged folk, and I hope the version of the song that first comes to mind [...]
