Banish the Winter Blues–Join my creative writing workshops at the Arts Center of the Capital Region

Banish the Winter Blues–Join my creative writing workshops at the Arts Center of the Capital Region

A blinding snow squall whipped through upstate New York this afternoon, followed by a precipitous drop in temperature. The temperature’s already below zero here at Snyders Lake, and it promises to plunge even further before dawn. I was planning to go to an open mic in Troy tonight, but I couldn’t bear the thought of… [Read More]

Never too late for writing resolutions

Never too late for writing resolutions

Welcome to my first blog post for 2019.* January’s speeding by, and I still haven’t taken down my Christmas tree. It’s pretty droopy, but even so, I hate to see it go. I had vowed to take it down by Martin Luther King day, but that’s tomorrow, much too soon. Here in Wynantskill in upstate… [Read More]

The Week of The Taint

December 29, 2018 By Julie Lomoe 3 Comments

I’ve published this post before, but I believe it’s worth an encore.  Warning: it’s a bit gross. Norwegians have a word for the week between Christmas and New Year’s: romjula. The closest we have in English is the word Taint, meaning it ‘taint Christmas any more, but it ‘taint New Year’s either. I’m indebted to Rex… [Read More]

The Most Over-Hyped Time of the Year

Christmas is just over two weeks away, and the holiday spirit is growing on me. I haven’t posted here since August, and in the meantime I had a near-death experience. Literally: a subdural hematoma brought me close to death’s door, and I’m grateful to be alive. More on that later. But there have been past… [Read More]

Colorado Chronicles: My new poetry book project

I’ve been AWOL from this blog since early July, but I’ve been busy with a new poetry project titled COLORADO CHRONICLES. I’ve already completed first drafts of eight poems and read several at open mics in the Capital Region. I’ve got more in mind, and I hope to include some illustrations as well. I’m thrilled… [Read More]

A romantic get-away in the mile-high city

A romantic get-away in the mile-high city

A week from tomorrow, I’ll be jetting high over America’s heartland to Denver, where my husband and I are registered to attend the national conference of the Romance Writers of America. We’ve got our plane and hotel reservations, our dog Sirius has his reservation for the Hair of the Dog day care and kennel, followed… [Read More]
