Several weeks ago, many of the Samhain editors spent time at Hilton Head with Crissy Brashear and the main office staff...

Have you ever visited the mall and seen a couple holding hands or kissing? That, my friend, is a public display of affection. PDAs (public displays of affection) are a more recent thing, something that has occurred with the relaxing of social rules and less stringent attention to etiquette...

I think I read somewhere that Chris Baty started National Novel Writing Month with 8 people…maybe it was 7. Anyway, that was 11 years ago. This year, almost 150,000 people are writing novels in November. I don’t know about you, but I think that’s just awesome. Not ...

I’m new to blogging here and haven’t figured out how to use all the functions, so no pics today! Plus, I’ve been deep in NaNoWriMo (an annual, month-long international writing challenge), so my mind’s just a bit consumed with the next scene of the story I’m working on. But I ...

Some of my favorite stories are the odd couples of romance. Vivien and Edward from Pretty Woman. Sky Masterson and Sarah Brown from Guys and Dolls. What about Shrek and Fiona...
