DAILY LIFE ENTRIES AT THIS JOURNAL

I write Daily Life entries on four topics:

* Writing: Writing, editing, self-publishing, e-books, audio books, braille books, print-on-demand, and anything I happen to be reading at the time.

* Mentoring: Apprenticeships, service, training, obedience, and protocol.

* Simplicity: Simple living, solitude, spirituality, schedules, self-discipline, and the Internet addiction that keeps messing all of this up.

* Home: Family, offline friends, domestic life, partial sightedness, hometown happenings, and travel.

* Retro daily life: My old journals, from age eleven onwards.

My Daily Life entries are scattered between no less than three blogs, so here's an index to them:

Daily Life entries between July 2006 and August 2007 (mainly Writing).

Daily Life entries between August 2007 and June 2008: Writing (including Home) | Mentoring | Simplicity.

Daily Life entries since July 2008 (a mixture of Writing, Mentoring, Simplicity, and Home).

Retro Daily Life entries.

THE SUSAN RULES (not scary! not scary!)

As posted by author Susan R. Matthews on 23 June 2007 at HisExcellency, a fan e-mail list devoted to her science fiction. Reprinted with her permission because I thoroughly agree. --DP

The Susan Rules of Engagement, or How I Expect People to Behave In This Group . . .

(1) Critical remarks about something I've said in my novels or said in this group are not personal insults, and I don't take them as such.

(2) Differences of opinion with other people or with the text are not personal insults either, and should not be taken as such (I don't).

(3) Intelligent, articulate, insightful people (like those who read my novels) (hee hee) are naturally passionate about things that have captured their interest. Please play nice.
