    Throughout the course of any given day, I’m busily cooking up creative ideas. It happens spontaneously in the course of living my life. The ideas are often related to writing, which is my primary art form, but aren’t limited to that milieu. Some drift by, perhaps never to be recalled. The ones I find particularly…

    This is the first day of a new “blogging challenge” that BlackLion and I have set up for ourselves. We’ve decided to each write an entry every day. We’re already planning to redesign our website, and have an artist friend working on some cool new graphics for us. The blog challenge idea came out of…

    I’m really excited about all the wonderful creative collaborating that seems to come along with the start of Fall. For example, BlackLion and I have just renewed our focus on a project near and dear to us: The Book of Ing. Check it out:http://www.felinedreamers.net/

    I’ve been doing some introspection and re-membering, and I realized I hadn’t written about my goals for this year (2009). I did this last year (click here to see the 2008 post) and found it useful. In fact, I just went back and commented on how I did on each of them. So, here are…

    It must be fall – I’m feeling creative and inspired, and I have so many projects either underway, or in the planning phases. I’ve got a few winter holiday (Christmas/Yule/Solstice/New Year’s) gifts in mind already that I want to create. I can’t mention them here, at the risk of spoiling the surprise. For writing projects,…

    Hey everyone! I’ve been really enjoying my new lifestyle. Yep, my goal of becoming an at-home Mom and writer (as well as gardener and beekeeper) has been achieved! I’ve been really busy, though…so much so that I wonder how I ever managed to fit in 40 hours of work plus commuting. Quester is starting his…

    I’ve done something exciting; I’m taking action to follow my dreams. After nearly 16 years at the same workplace, I’m leaving starting in May. I told them this past week. It’s been a good job, the people are great, and I believe in the company (it’s a nonprofit) and its importance to the community. But…

    I thought it might be time for another “weekend in the life of Starcat” post. I’m hoping some of my new pals on the three unschooling e-mail lists I’ve joined might stop by to check out this blog. And since I get so much out of reading about their lives, I thought I’d share some…

    Like the bee, we should make our industry our amusement. – Oliver Goldsmith On the surface, it seems pretty simple. As humans, we should occupy ourselves doing the things that we most enjoy, and those things will bring us not only joy, but the elements we need to survive and thrive: food, water, shelter, clothing,…

    I’ve noticed the shift of energy with the new calendar year (welcome, 2008!). It’s taking me a while to adjust to it, but now I seem to be settling into the groove. While I don’t do “resolutions” per se, I do have some big and exciting goals that I’m focusing on this year. Here’s my…
