Quiet Rebel Writer

Hello QRW readers and fans. As you may have noticed, I’ve been a little lax over the last week with my posting. Sure, I’ve got a few big deadlines that are grabbing my attention and energy. Sure, I’ve been feverishly cleaning up the new joint for our first boarder, a dear friend from out of […]

Hello all! I will be vacating the blogosphere this week as I trek to my home state of Iowa. (which, despite the sign, has more than manure. I swear.) What awaits me there? My brother and his wife, who welcomed a ginormous baby boy two weeks ago. My other brother, stoked to be an uncle. […]

Hello my little electronic friends. I was preparing to write my post for today, caught a glance at the clock, and sighed a deep one. In each day’s to-do list, posting to the old QRW invariably ends up a late afternoon/early evening prospect. It’s the way it works, when you’ve got deadlines to meet and […]

Well played, especially for someone with a near complete lack of coordination. The battle is over for QRW in the March Madness at Writer’s Resource Center, and it was a thrill to be part of it. Continue checking out the games - some great blogs being highlighted!
A note to my readers: John hit on […]

…to tell you about a pretty sweet showdown shaping up over at the Writer’s Resource Center. John is pitting 32 writing blogs against each other in a geektastic March Madness setup, and Quiet Rebel Writer made the list! We face some stiff competition in the seeding, but (in my best Academy Award nominee stock speech […]

Now don’t be sad, but I must sign off for a couple days. It’s moving time, which means headaches, backaches, big-ass-box-paper-cuts, movers cursing us for the inconceivable amount of books we have, and general anxious frivolity. It also means I’ll have limited access to the interwebs. The horror!
I will be back on Monday, bright-eyed […]

I like knowing what to expect. Call me a creature of habit, but I like knowing that almost every Wednesday night I have date night with J, that Friday nights we’re probably going to order sushi, that Saturday afternoons we hit LaBamba for a burrito lunch and then go book shopping. Patterns and routines can […]

Hello again, readers. At the one-month mark for this here blog, I’m taking the opportunity to rework some categories, redefine my offerings, and generally plot out my next onslaught upon your eyes.
Let’s review. In the last month we’ve talked about rebellious methods for freelance success, and ways to nurture creativity, no matter your career. […]

Well hello there, gentle readers (and I say that with a cheer, as I’m now starting to get a few of you). What, you may ask, is all this nonsense about? If you read this blog, what, goes the eternal question, is in it for you?
Sure, I’ve got an about page. But let’s do […]

Us Redheads have to stick together, even if it takes a ridiculously hilarious fake protest against Wendy’s to do it. Check out this video of the redhead-filled subway cars, with all involved feigning ignorance, and a confederate selling squirts of sunscreen.
I don’t know how many liquored nights I’ve dreamed of getting myself a sweet […]
