The Journey Begins Anew!

Thanks for joining me!

Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton

There are a lot of changes going on. I struggled for a long time to figure out what to do. I wanted a business that encompasses everything I do rather than have multiple businesses. I didn't want to deal with the taxes, nor the administration of a site for each endeavor I undertake.

Thus, The Write Buttons is born.

I'm a writer and a sewer.

I also dabble in music and have plans for that eventually.

Tiny Samurai isn't going away, it's just taking on a new form.

I've purchased my new domain name for 88 cents tonight!

I'm just waiting for it to flip to active.

One thing? I've been scared of the logistics involved in shipping items. Other than the name issue, I had been letting this hold me back.

Well, no more! It's time I just jump in and see where I end up.

On the writing front, I'm working on a short documentary. It's taking up a lot of my time right now, but it will be done soon. It's for Digi60, which takes place next month! It's the story of a BC indigenous woman who overcame alcoholism through roller derby after escaping abuse. I'm so happy to be part of this amazing project!

I also recently rewrote a resume for a client on a short deadline.

Sewing wise, I have a little project I'm finishing up at home involving a couch cover for a new-to-me leather loveseat I got for free. It has a little seam issue that has required tape to repair. As it's the winter months, I'm making a cover for it out of fleece. The pattern happens to be Spongebob. I was never all that into the show when I was younger, but now I find it quite funny. I also got a good deal on the fabric, which is predominately my favourite colour ;)

Once that is done, it's time to get rolling.

With gratitude,
Rae-Rae a.k.a The Tiny Samurai

The Gauntlet That Was October

I had a lot of things happen in October. I watched Frankenstein in the cemetery with friends. I had tea with a friend. I started a new sport: curling. This is really fun and I'm enjoying the level of activity it provides and all the strategic elements. I'll do a separate post on it soon. Unfortunately, soon after my first game, I came down with Covid and so did the friend who I had tea with, so I think we both caught it at the place we went to. That wasn't fun. I already posted about that. I was fortunate to be free of it in time to attend Can-Con where I took in lots of panels, saw some of the wonderful writer community, bought many new books, and volunteered to help out in the rooms. The following weekend, I went to the livestream for Danielle Allard's new album release, followed by the in person release. As part of this, she has a 6 video series that releases every Sunday on her YouTube at 1:15 PM EDT. Video number 2, Falling Into Place, is one that I feel fortunate ...

Frisky Friday - Maple Syrup Porn

[caption id="attachment_10523" align="alignright" width="300"] Image created using Bitmoji[/caption] While delving into some Canadian film history this week, I learned that there is a thing called Maple Syrup Porn. I laughed when I read the term. I thought, "Is our adult film industry really called Maple Syrup Porn?" It's not. Some is Canadian, but it mostly refers to getting around censorship of sex. It was not only common in Quebec due to religion, but several places in the US. You can read more about it here . If you're looking to heat things up this weekend, consider a sweet old film from the early days of the sexual revolution. Maybe even drizzle a little syrup on your partner ;) Guid cheerio the nou, R~

2024 - Week 5

It was still January for most of this week, a.k.a. The Neverending Month. Then it became February! Each month, I do pull a card from my Music Oracles deck. Last month was Bob Marley. February's card is Nina Simone. A piano playing rebel & multiple genre legend will hopefully make for a phenomenal month ahead. I still haven't done a goals post for 2024. January was a lot. My goals for this year are: - Complete Sparker and query agents. - Complete The Curse of... and submit it to a screenplay contest. - Complete the declutter of Tiny Condo. - Blog at least once per week. - Cross train for curling and softball. - Learn piano. - Self-care with crafts, reading, gaming, and sports. I've tweaked my schedule to make this happen. I'd also like a partner, but I feel weird about setting it as a goal.
