http://ronnieblackwell.com/Wordpress Presenting the Podiobook, Serve It Cold Thu, 03 Sep 2009 14:20:57 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en Last Saturday, I let my friend Valerie Wells talk me into "driving her" to a writing workshop in Jackson while her car is in the shop.  Happy to do her the favor, I grabbed my binoculars and gear bag and headed out.  I had no idea what was to come. I ... http://ronnieblackwell.com/Wordpress/?p=307 It's been a long, dry spring. Dry in more than one way. Especially dry where my blogging is concerned. Lin sometimes laments that she isn't blogging much and seems to feel very guilty about it. I can seemingly go months without thinking about it because I'm ... http://ronnieblackwell.com/Wordpress/?p=280 Lin bought herself a tiny little videocam and is busily driving me crazy with it. We are back in town from a great weekend in Dauphin Island, AL. DIAL is a birding hotspot for spring migration and the list of migrating birds we saw is far too long to ... http://ronnieblackwell.com/Wordpress/?p=201 Lin and I are working on the site. We've neglected it terribly with all other work we're doing, but I just added a video of my reading at the Oak Grove (MS) Public Library in December. That's also on my "Appearances" page, if you want to take a ... http://ronnieblackwell.com/Wordpress/?p=199 Well, I guess that it had to happen sooner or later.

And, yes, ... http://ronnieblackwell.com/Wordpress/?p=180 Dear readers, And dear you are to me. I want to thank you for all the help, the messages of encouragement, and the patience that you have shown Lin and me this year. Your word-of mouth support has helped spread my readership all across the country. This year, In addition to my ... http://ronnieblackwell.com/Wordpress/?p=179 I know, I know, I'm the world's worst blogger. There should be some sort of award, you think? I sort of missed all of September and all of October, and, yes, that is not quite up to the blog a day that Lin wants me to write, but I do ... http://ronnieblackwell.com/Wordpress/?p=173 and just not that into it today. New post coming. I promise. http://ronnieblackwell.com/Wordpress/?p=172 it's September! What happened to August?! Unbelievable! Work is coming along on COLD COMFORT (8 chapters in). Martha and Paul are frantically working on scripting for SPITE, trying to get some of that done before lovely baby Eliza Rose arrives in early October. Lin has done an ... http://ronnieblackwell.com/Wordpress/?p=171 July passed in a wave of hellos, goodbyes, birthdays, butterfly counts and trips around the state to visit relatives and for Lin's work.  It's been a busy and productive month, although I don't know how to explain it in tangible form.  I could name the tasks done (maybe) but it ... http://ronnieblackwell.com/Wordpress/?p=165
