Friday Fare is where I post links to the random articles that have resonated with me during the week. Sometimes they make me smarter, sometimes they make me hungry … sometimes they have to do with writing and sometimes they are just plain random.
“Jane Eyre” is one of my favorite books. Letters of Note is one of my favorite websites. The two together made me very happy this week.
50 books a woman should read before she turns 40. In July, I will have two years left to finish these bad boys … might need to get cracking.
This article seriously pissed me off. (So much so that I actually commented on Facebook. Don’t get me wrong – I like the FB, but I try to be a positive member of society. In this case, I let my snark shine through.)
And damn … my resume needs updating, but will never look this cool.
And yes, this is a writing blog. But cocktails! This beverage sounds like it’s up my alley.

Listening to: Yup, still adoring Sturgill Simpson, but since he’s down towards the bottom of my Windows Media Player queue (am I the only person who still uses Windows Media Player?), I’ve been getting down to the “Ts” in my music collection. Toad the Wet Sprocket anyone? (P.S. – Seen them three or four times in concert. And I fangirl. Every. Single. Time.)
Reading: Stephen King’s “IT.” How does he do it?
Fiction Update: Edits! I’ve been kinda stuck on the ending of Act I, but I’ve been having some weird mini-breakthroughs that are immensely gratifying.
Enjoy the weekend!

I finally switched to iTunes last year, but I prefer Windows Media Player. I find it waaaay easier to use, but I suppose that’s because I know it better. If I hadn’t bought an iPod, I’d still be using WMP exclusively (I still use it quite a bit). And oddly enough, I was just thinking about Toad the Wet Sprocket the other day! 😀
I’ve been listening to Ravi Shankar and Silverchair a lot lately. One inspires my writing, while the other rather suits the weather.
