One of the things most frustrating to me about my lawsuit was being unable to blog about my brain injury. It wasn’t so much not being able to vent as being unable to blog about the discoveries I made that made a huge difference to my functionality and thus to my life. With a broken…

Blogging on Jeejeebhoy.ca with ScribeFire
I’m trying to simplify my blogging so I can spend more time writing instead of logging in, surfing around, navigating the blogging site, copying and pasting all over the place, clicking here, there, and everywhere, never mind waiting for blogger or WordPress to login.

Mini Book Expo Claim, Malaysian Health Journalist, and Housekeeping News
Awhile ago, I wrote about submitting Lifeliner to Mini Book Expo. I submitted it in the hopes of getting more exposure for my book, but not really thinking that as a self-published author I had much of a chance of having Lifeliner claimed. When I received an e-mail asking me if I’d ship a copy…

My father was waiting to greet us, as he had been in the country for one month already, starting work, finding a place to live. Thirty-five years, four months, and fourteen…

Top Ten Writing Inspirations
We authors were challenged in Chapters Community to write a post, or a top 10 list, or a review about those who inspired us and influenced our work, whether books, essays, stories, or fellow authors. Hey, I thought, good idea for a post on my own blog. So here’s my top 10 list of those…
Protest the New Big Blue Bin, Else It’ll Multiply!
Update: If you don’t like your new blue bin and want to have a better solution: “Target70 will book a home appointment so you can use a combination of several smaller bins which would be a lot more manageable.” E-mail them. The City of Toronto dumped a very large, lidded blue box on my property.…
