MAVERICK

FIRST DUDE

NOT SO MUCH

WINNER OF FIVE NOMINATIONS

IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR AGAIN

Lake Superior State University “maverick” word-watchers, fresh from the holiday “staycation” but without an economic “bailout” even after a “desperate search,” have issued their 34th annual List of Words to Be Banished from the Queen’s English for Mis-use, Over-use and General Uselessness. This year’s list may be more “green” than any of the previous lists and includes words and phrases that people from “Wall Street to Main Street” say they love “not so much” and wish to have erased from their “carbon footprint.”

Lisa Jordan wrote a spectacular article about me in this month’s “My First Sale” column in Afictionado…and I didn’t even have to pay her.

What a woman! Check it out here. 

And read the rest of this great ACFW ezine while you’re there…including an article by moi about the multi-talented Mary DeMuth.

Another anniversary of my 29th birthday

Filed under: Moments of Grace — Christa Allan @ 9:14 pm

The Persistence of Memory

As you may already know if you’ve been to this blog a time or two [or more, I hope!], I am a Jessica Hagy groupie. Her Indexed blog is clever, witty, intelligent.  I’m posting this one because it seemed so appropriate for my life on this, the 28th anniversary of my 29th birthday.
