So far so good on Heart's Chalice . I'm up to Chapter Four now (still tweaking it, hope to get Chapter Five going tonight). My new chapters 1-4 are better than my previous chapters 1-4, so that's progress. :) Had a nice hike yesterday, and managed to get a few pictures before a surprise thunderstorm hit. Pop-up thunderstorms are part of summertime weather in the mountains. Thunderstorms are more likely...

Chris Dillow asks the question and suspects the answer is no. If the Conservatives win in 2010 and can get a second term in 2014-5, then it would be a poisoned chalice to take the Labour leadership after a 2010 defeat. Miliband could end up like Hague, taking his party to a second consecutive defeat then standing down. However, this assumes that a second Tory victory is likely to follow on from a victory...

Well, I've had another revelation. It's a revelation which necessitates a complete rewrite of Heart's Chalice (excepting the first chapter, which is fine the way it is). My word count in the sidebar has gone down to reflect the word count of the first chapter. And over time, the word count for Heart's Chalice will go back up, up, up. But it will be completely new verbiage. Over the last few days, I've...

1. First off, writing progress. I took a day to step back and assess the structure of Heart's Chalice , but now I'm back into the rewrite. Hopefully, my characters will be happy with the way things are going now and won't force another change, but if they do, hey... it's my job to listen to them. 2. Writer Not Reading (you should check out her blog if you haven't; she's brilliant) asked anybody who...

Don't hold me to this, but this new track from anticon oddities Restiform Bodies is about modern spoiled American rich-twit privilege. I think. Evocative, sometimes inventive phrases jump out-- "Fendi bag and an icy chalice," "Pony every birthday regardless of our behavior," "Appetites lashed to the hood of the Bentley"-- and even the parts that are hard to follow, pauseless strings of ideas that...

Two decades ago, a label called Sub Pop burst out of Seattle's moist vagina, bearing frankincense, myrrh, and a chalice full of gravely throated rockers making tunes fresh for the pressing. Young Sub Pop put out many choice cuts by Nirvana, Mudhoney, Sonic Youth, and others as part of its monthly Singles Club. This veritable Club Cool satisfied the wanton urges of nerdy nose-breathing record collectors...

I finished first-pass revisions to Heart's Chalice . Yay, me! Much work remains to be done since I'm still developing and honing the story, but I'll get there -- I'll get there. I'm sending huge hugs and heartfelt condolences to my friend Bunnygirl . Her much-loved bunny, Tidbit, passed away yesterday (Saturday). Tidbit was much-loved, and she'll be much-missed.

It was discovered at the beginning of the 20th century and hailed as the cup used by Christ at the Last Supper.

I'm slacking big-time on this blog -- I apologize! The days fly by so quickly. Almost a week has passed since I blogged, and it feels like only a day. I've been working on Heart's Chalice and doing some beta reading for a couple of writer friends. And hiking... of course! *smile* On my last hike, I didn't see any bears, deer, or snakes, but I did see a mushroom which reminded me of a pancake.... ...a...

Senator Barack Obama is in celebratory mood as the White House appears within his and the Democratic Party's reach. Yet tackling and even resolving the US and global economic crisis over the next four years may cast any eventual victor of the presidential election and his winning party into political oblivion for the foreseeable future. - James Cumes

There's gold in the waters off the Florida Keys. Shipwreck salvagers have recovered a gold chalice while searching for the wreckage of a Spanish galleon, CBS station WFOR-TV in Miami reports. The ornate two-handled chalice stands on a gold base and is adorned with etched scrollwork on the upper portion. It was located by Blue Water Ventures diver Michael DeMar beneath about a foot of sand in 18

We often talk about the imagery that a certain piece of lingerie evokes when we feature a product here at the Intimate Guide. For instance, last week’s DKNY Classic Curves thong evoked imagery of the “chalice” symbol - which is good because the chalice symbol represents femininity. So, we’re not exactly sure why they call this thong the “evoke” thong (our calls to Elle MacPherson Intimates were not...

Dismantling The Da Vinci Code By Sandra Miesel “The Grail,” Langdon said, “is symbolic of the lost goddess. When Christianity came along, the old pagan religions did not die easily. Legends of chivalric quests for the Holy Grail were in fact stories of forbidden quests to find the lost sacred feminine. Knights who claimed to be “searching for the chalice” were speaking in code as a way to protect
