What's It All About

I'm a writer and well, a writer's mind can be an awfully chaotic place to be. Especially when it's thinking up things that have zero to do with the book they're currently working on. It helps to get some of that excess out and clear the way for more pertinent story-telling and this is my forum to do just that. Dredged Up Diatribes is a proverbial toilet bowl where I give myself license to purge the stuff that clogs up my mind and where you, dear reader, get to see what a train-wreck looks like inside a brain. I can't promise it will always be pretty, but, hopefully, it will be entertaining. I like to keep the identities of myself and the majority of the people I write about private, but I do welcome comments, questions, and suggestions as I am always trying to improve this site (which is currently being re-vamped and always a work in progress) and myself (again, WIP). I am not, however, all that fond of debates or lectures...go figure. If you have one, great, fine, wonderful, by all means post it or email it to me, just know I'll probably be mentally giving you the bird. So, if you decide to tell me what a hack I am or argue my opinion on something and then all of a sudden feel like a pigeon pooped on you...yeah, that was me.

FUQs (Frequently Unasked Questions)

My profile states some things that I'm asked about every now and then, and because you're dying to know; here's the naked truth and then some:

1)Yes, I'm married to an attractive and uber-supportive man, but since he prefers to remain anonymous, as do I (we both have our reasons, some of which are admissable :-/), we'll just call him H. H works because it can stand for husband, herlobster, honeybunny, hot, hunk o' good good lovin', and Harbinger (which is how he's known to many).

But I digress...where was I? Oh yeah.

2)Yes, I have three minions. Er...children. Their names in order of appearance are; #1, #2, and #3. They're all girls, which occasionally makes the aforementioned H want to go out for milk and never come back.

3)Yes, I do a little fictional book writing from time to time.

4)Yes, according to the voices in my head, which seem to be consistently laughing at me, I have a fabulous sense of humor.

5)Yes, I'm an amazing housekeeper. I keep my home surgically sanitary and there's a place for everything and everything is always in its place. That way H is kept happy and I never lose a damned thing.

6) And yes, I'm a virgin.


Okay, so #5 is nothing but unadulterated lies, but like I said, I write fiction.

I also enjoy pina-coladas, making love at midnight, and getting caught in the rain. Oddly enough, I'm not into yoga. Oh, and I have half a brain. I think. I'll have my people talk to the voices' people and get back to you on that one. And I sincerely love good music. Only what I consider to be good music though...which is not up for debate. I mean come on, let's not get carried away here, it's my fucking blog.

OH! I swear. Pretty much a lot. Take that as your first and only warning. My splendiferous use of profanity isn't up for debate either. Again, my fucking blog.

I read. And not just emails, blogs, and tweets. I read l-i-t-e-r-a-t-u-r-e and I like it. Try it some time, you might find you do as well. I honestly miss the 80s, too. We had it all. Great music, rockin' hair styles, mostly decent fashion (okay yeah, that's another lie, sue me), Ronald Reagan, and the best social networking was done hovering around a keg in some kid's backyard while his trusting parents weren't home (I know, right? Fail.).


I can deal with a lot of bullshit and I'm not offended by much, so with that being said, there are two things that will absolutely NOT be tolerated on this Blog and they are spamming and Justin Bieber. Like drugs, don't do it.

If there's anything else about me you're dying to know, just ask and I'll be happy to give you a version of the truth.
