Gone to sea


The Ninja Librarian is truly out of reach, having set sail for Antarctica. Assuming I don’t die of sea-sickness, I’ll be back on land and back to the internet around March 20 or 21. Feel free to leave comments, and I’ll respond when I return!

I’ll leave you with an ice berg or two for your enjoyment. These were on Lago Argentina, not in Antarctica, but they are still beautiful.




And deep into the heart of the blue, blue ice.

IWSG: Gone hiking




 The Insecure Writer's Support Group is where writers can express their doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Those who have been through the fire can offer assistance and guidance. It's a safe haven for insecure writers of all kinds! Check it out here and join if you want support with your writing. We post on the first Wednesday of every month. 

Let’s rock the neurotic writing world! 

Our Twitter handle is @TheIWSG and hashtag is #IWSG




Since I’m in Patagonia and am in fact completely out of contact just now (on a 7-day backpacking trip in Torres del Paine National Park), this isn’t really an IWSG post. Just my hearty wish that you are all having a good month and getting lots of writing done, and a couple of teaser photos of some of the beautiful mountains we’ve been hiking. (Note: hiking, most definitely NOT “climbing”!)

Mt. Fitz Roy at dawn.

Fitz Roy from Laguna de los Tres, a classic spot for a photo. We were lucky to have a b it of calm for reflections.
