Survived one night

Barely. I forgot that: steam heat is HOT. Steam heat is NOISY (bang bang bang hisss hiss).

Soul won't come out of hiding.

The bed is like trying to sleep on a cement slab. My arthritis hurts like hell on something hard. I was in tears by 3 AM.

almost fell asleep by4 AM then the fire station alarms went off (it's just up the street)

Soul finally came out at 630 AM to fight with Kanda.

Kanda was thrilled. I CAN SLEEP IN BED WITH MOM


As for the ghosts....i can attribute the creaking to the age of the house, the bangs and hisses to steam heat but what in the hell was rearranging furniture all night upstairs? I asked mom that and her eyes bugged. She said grandma always said there were people upstairs rearranging furniture but no one believed her.

Believe her. Every time it happened Kanda panicked so it wasn't my imagination (raccoons? chipmunks? ghosts?)

Also found out that Great Grandma had boarders in that upstairs room. Um okay, a four room house had boarders. And that the kitchen/bathroom/downstairs bedroom and the newer part of the basement was all from the 1950's.

This is really going to make for a great story one day. I've always wanted to write a horror story about inheriting that place with it's freaky basement and cistern and now that I know there were boarders well it'll be way more interesting if the main character discovers granny was a Belle Starr type

writerly ways

I've been thinking about the author's platform for my non-erotica persona. I've settled on the pen name and I know I need to a) get her a twitter and facebook b) get her a blog c) find a way to afford a cheap domain to at least pass as her website.

Anyhow I was talking with another person in one of my writers' groups about her choices which admittedly aren't for me but thought what would I call the blog. Frankly I was just going with my pen name b ut the subtitle...what to put for that.

Seriously, does anyone even LOOK at that? I know I don't. I couldn't tell you any of your cutesy subtitles. I have one for this of course but does anyone look at it. Am I wrong in thinking that really the blog and website should just be my name (well pen name?)

For the original fiction crew, what do you think a good subtitle for my writing blog would be? I'm curious. I mean it should probably reflect my writing.

I'm curious as to your thoughts about all of this. I know right now author's platforms are a necessity but i'm just wondering does anyone avail themselves of all of this?

and since i've slept only 7 hours in two days i'm not coming up with another post. Have a picture.
