How many circumstances in life can you name that affect us all and, even more rare, affect us all in pretty much the same way? I mean, I knew it was common enough to have a catchy term that is widely used, but I was surprised at how universal this thing is. And it is driving…
Author: C C Cedras
One of two authors who are collaborating on a series of romantic suspense novels. Mostly retired lawyer, Mom of Cavalier King Charles spaniels, Fiona and Archie, and the late, great Fergus who is romping over the rainbow until we all get there, currently loving life in my newly-built forever home on the mountain.
Swift Kick in the Butt Needed HERE
This is a fair representation of my life over the past six months. Too little, too late? A day late and a dollar short? Something like that. I started this year full of energy, plans and ambition – fired up about cleaning up the NaNoWriMo draft of my novel and finishing it with new direction…

Mick Jagger Got It Right
There are days when it’s pretty sweet being a Baby Boomer. Often it’s when you realize you’re now old enough that you get to decide for yourself how you’ll spend your time and effort – where you’ll work and what kind of work you’ll do or not work, if that’s an option; if there’s any studying…

Love Me Tender…
As I was half-sitting, half-lying in my chaise, propped up on a bazillion (oh, all right six) pillows, not-quite-sleeping at 3:48 this morning, my befuddled brain was sifting through a highly entertaining slide show of memories, images, scenes that have no bearing on my real life and the dreaded list of tasks-to-do-that-there-is-not-enough-time-to-do. For no reason,…
These are thoughts and aspirations that I wish we’d thought of, but we’re smart enough to share them here at SS&S. The Belle Jar is a wonderful blog — you should check it out! What do YOU think? What are some other useful assumptions we should make?
Who Will I Be When I Grow Old?
Maybe it’s because I’ve been dealing with another broken body part lately – honestly, I just get one thing fixed and something else goes wonky. Maybe it’s the increasingly odd conversations my mate and I have been having with aging relatives and noticing how our engagement in those chats has changed over time. Whatever. I’ve…
No Lines For The Restroom
Stilettos, Stoli and Scribbles is a place where three writers ponder life, its pleasures (including food and drink <g>) and pain and share some recent fictional work – all of which we hope will entertain or make you think or find common experiences here with us. This isn’t a blog ABOUT writing, per se, but…
