Just talked to some of my collegues from Cambridge University and it's soooo exciting that we'll all meet in person soon for the graduation ceremony in UK! #Cambridge #CreativeNonfiction #Writing #Nonfiction

On a lighter note, for this February new moon, #MoonLitPress shares a Saturday Morning Cartoon about the pitfalls and delusions of spiritual ‘power.’ We hope you find it amusing.

I'm the web master for #wordsByTerryl, a blog designed for everyone and written by a pagan.

#wordsByTerryl blog shares one pilgrim’s spiritual journey at this February full moon.

The journey has been fraught, and the only thing the pilgrim is certain of at this late stage is that nothing is certain. We all find our way to what is Sacred in the best way we can, and we trust that the Sacred is open-minded enough, to welcome us all.

I'm the bit monkey for the blog #wordsByTerryl from #MoonLitPress . I also do the graphic art work using #inkscape and we publish using #writefreely.

This article shares a witchy Imbolc ritual as a bonus posting. It is a prayerful recognition and celebration of the subtle turning of the seasons. Spring cleaning, if you will, in a spiritual sense.

I'm starting a new series on my blog, called happy snapshots.

In these posts, I write about a picture I took, and share the memories it brings up

The first happy snapshot was taken at Lake Como, June 2006, and I write about a favourite memory of our dog Mikey.

Not sure how many writers I have in my feeds, but I'm facilitating a #writing #webinar on Saturday at 1 p.m. Eastern. It's free—and not like teaser free or recorded in advance free. Just plain ol' free. It's on metaphors in #fiction and #CreativeNonfiction.

I handle the intros and Q&A, but we've been doing these for nearly five years now and they're usually quite information dense. There's a Q&A after for questions.

#MoonLit offers another installation in the Word Nerd series this November full moon. We hope you will find Terryl’s struggle for literacy amusing. She certainly does. She’s not happy being inadequate in just one language, and strives for multilingual inadequacy. If only she could write poetry in some language. Any language.

"I am pleased to let you know that you have been awarded the Undergraduate Diploma in Creative Writing: Advanced Non-fiction. May I congratulate you on behalf of the Director of Continuing Education, Dr James Gazzard and your tutors for this achievement."

YAY!!! We will receive the diploma next year in Cambridge and I'm so very much looking forward to meeting all my course mates and tutors! #HappyAuthor #Autorenleben #writerslife #indieauthor #CreativeNonfiction #Schreiben #writing #Fortbildung

Es gibt Texte, da fließt die eigene Seele direkt durch die Fingerspitzen auf's Papier (oder in die Tastatur). Ich hab das vor allem bei #Nonfiction und #Memoir . Aber dazu ist es wohl auch da. Bin gespannt, was Lesende später mal dazu sagen, ob ein Teil davon bei ihnen ankommt. #Schreiben #CreativeNonfiction #Autorenleben #writerslife #indieauthor

#Terryl publishes fun easy reading stories every full and new moon.
Take a break and relax.
#MoonLit offers a #Halloween table blessing in honor of the dead for this October full moon. Never forget your dead. They surely have not forgotten you. They are both whence we came and whither we are bound.

We do this all with only #FLOSS tools.

I've been a novel/a-length SF writer and have a solid diet of novel/a-length SF books.

I want to write a lot more creative nonfiction and SF short stories, and I realize that means I need a steady diet of that kind of work.

What are your favorite journals?
