Is Do Unto Others… Done? And Other Social Cunundrums.

Posted on February 8, 2013 by Dawn Quyle Landau

For Love.

Posted on January 30, 2013 by Dawn Quyle Landau

The jet lag continues, a week after my return.  I’m still having a hard time staying up past 7pm, and I’m waking at 4-5 AM; ouch! Add a bad cold to the mix, and it has not been a smooth … Continue reading →

When Facebook Blows Your Birthday Candles Out… Early.

Posted on January 8, 2013 by Dawn Quyle Landau

Damn you Facebook! There I said it; and I mean it. Damn you. It’s not bad enough that I am turning fifty (that looks better than the numbers) January 9th, but Facebook went and told everyone that my birthday was … Continue reading →

What’s in a Name?

Posted on January 7, 2013 by Dawn Quyle Landau

I have been doing mental somersaults for months, trying to decide on a name for my novel. The title I originally chose, the “working title,” just doesn’t suit the work. I’ve known this for a while, and both of my … Continue reading →

Posted on November 19, 2012 by Dawn Quyle Landau

Holy bags of greasy, sweet, fried, crunchy, salty, gassy, fattening, foods Batman! I am out of control and I’m not sure what the cure is. Self control? Nada. Exercise? Limited. Awareness? Enough to know I’m in trouble here. This is … Continue reading →

Posted on November 7, 2012 by Dawn Quyle Landau

This is The Middle. The Middle of the week, and the day I try to write a shorter post. Not today. I’m exhausted and have no time… no time as in, I’m taking time from the things I really need … Continue reading →

News Flash: It’s a Hot Flash.

Posted on November 6, 2012 by Dawn Quyle Landau

Warning: Children and men, cover your ears. If you don’t, you may go blind. (Or maybe you’ll learn something and have compassion for some other woman). Prissy butts, you too. Don’t go all gossipy on me later, saying that this … Continue reading →
