Meet USAF Engineer Master Sergeant Briggs. The poor chap thought he was in for a dull birthday off-duty, but then he gets a mysterious gift from Area 51. Before he knows it, he's got Madison and her loquacious parrot, Sir Rupert, literally falling out of time and into his lap. Talk about a surprise party!

So, the February I wrote this post, I caught a cold/flu thing at the end of the month, and then I was head down writing, so not a lot of words left for a blog post. lol
So I thought I would do a roundup kind of post today, instead of inflicting a bad attempt at blogging on you. I actually started blogging some time before I moved my blog to Word Press. This blog has posts going back to 2010 and says I’ve published 875 (that number is now over 1500) blog posts. Lest you be too impressed, I’ve had a lot of guests stop by during that time (thank goodness!), guest posts that gradually morphed into my “why I wrote” series that shows up on Wednesdays (when I can rope in authors).
So here are some older blog posts that you might not have seen if you haven’t been hanging around that long:
Closed Doors – I don’t know if it’s true, but it feels like my bedroom door was always open at night when I was little. I think it started so I could make a fast, unobstructed dash to my parent’s bedroom when the monsters crawled out of the closet or out from under the bed.
Open Doors – Last blog, I talked about the closed doors in my life. Or the doors that were starting to close. The nice thing about getting older, is that I have a better sense of which open doors I want to explore. When I was younger, the open doors seem to go on forever. It can almost make you a schizo, trying to see it all, try a few here and there. Now that I’m older and slower, I take time with the open doors. I go in and look around, maybe rearrange a few things.
I Want Orbit City – Some time ago, I was attending a science fiction convention and I wandered into a panel supposedly discussing homes of the future. I know better than to have expectations, well, usually I know better, but it didn’t seem unreasonable to expect a panel on future homes to be about future homes, like Orbit City where The Jetsons lived.
My Fiction is Totally Made Up – I’ve been doing some SEO (search engine optimizing) on my website and in the process ran across a review of The Key. It wasn’t a bad review, but the review commented that my science fiction wasn’t just soft, it was squishy. All I can say in response is, “Heck yeah.”
So I hope you enjoyed the look back (trust me, this was better than my brain on a cold). Had you seen these posts before? What did you think? (Loaded question from the author whose brain is currently offline. Haha
Perilously yours,
Pauline
