Fickle Recommenders

Since a recommender ok'd me for a Writers' Reserve Grant last year, I thought I could hope for the same this year. Alas it didn't turn out to be so. I got some encouraging comments from a couple of them, but no recommendation for a grant. In short, that sucks. However, the project "Bonbons and Bitter Pills" got completed anyway. I've registered the copyright on it so I'm pleased with that. Now if only my editor would get off his duff and do what he's supposed to do: edit my works so I can post them online. All in good time I suppose, but I wish he'd rush it a bit.

I'm back!

After what has seemed like an eternity I'm back to posting on this blog. You can also see additional, more writing focused, information on my other blog http://www.bonbonsandbitterpills.blogspot.com/ . I don't have any recipes to share at this time unless opening a can of Stag Chili can be considered cooking. Man I can't make the stuff cheaper than what it costs ready made at the grocery store: put some shredded cheese on it, a bit of sour cream, a big glass of milk and there's dinner. It's easy, no muss, no fuss and pretty tasty. Oh and half a can is enough of a meal for one. So that's one can = 2 meals. Pretty inexpensive if you ask me and perfect for a well fed writer on a budget.
