Call me Ishm…
Ahem
Call me Bon. 
I live in a teeny town just south of Austin, Texas with my child, my kitties and my not-quite-husband. You will see me refer to them all by various names. They’re used to it.
Variable Names Reference Guide
Fiancé= Mister Man.
Kid = The Girl or The Teen.
Cat #2 = Xamot, Big Boy or Get Off the GD Kitchen Counter!
Cat #1= Macha, Kitten Face or Her Gravely Grumpalicious, The Queen of Bitchitude. (deceased)
I spend my days writing, reading, studying and chasing critters. Just so we are clear, critters includes recalcitrant teenagers. *sigh*
At the age of *cough38cough* I decided that the path my life was taking – while fairly lucrative – was not one I wished to follow. Furthermore, I also decided that in order to effectively coerce err, influence my kid to go to college, I should probably seek my own degree, as well. I am seeking my Bachelor of Arts, English. Because words are important to me.
I’ll be posting random ramblings about writing, bits of stories, character development stuff and anything else that my brain seizes on for the day.
STANDARD PSA/FYI
Most of what I publish here -insofar as “bloggy stuff” – is whanged together in one sitting. Very little editing or polishing. The fiction pieces get a few more swipes of the editorial cloth. Not as much as the bits that I actually send out to publications but more than the Day in the Life stuff, fer sure. This place is, after all, where I process the words floating about in my brain.
Just so we are clear on this: All work on this site is copyrighted and cannot be reprinted without express consent of Bonnie [Bon] Steele.
Excellent!!!!! I can’t wait to see your random ramblings, bits of stories, character development, and whatever else comes our way!
Thank you,
I post a lot – so I hope you are ready!

Yeah! Looking forward to more…and maybe a lesson or two for your favorite SIL to do something like this? Love to you and yours.
Of course and anytime!
Love right back to y’all,
~Bon
Most definitely excited! I love reading your noodles. And doodles. And bits. And bobs. And truncated mono-syllabic expletives. Have you attached this blogs to the Networked Blogs App of Facebook yet?
Thank you, lovely lady!
I don’t that I will be as I am wanting to keep this site as a pure writing site.
Nice site. Is this like a Julie/Julia project for you?
Thank you –
I wanted something clean and straight-forward. Hopefully, with the amount that I post it will continue to be so.
I haven’t read that blog, so I couldn’t say.
What it is, though, is a site where I can blog about my writing. Get some samples out there. I am hoping that folks will be both my sounding board to bounce ideas about writing around; and a test market, to see what genre I write in that people gravitate more towards.
So basically it is like that project. She got a book out of it. Anyway be sure to put funny stories about Dodger and I will log in frequently .
Nicely done, Bonnie.
Looking forward to reading some more posts.
Why, thank you!
Bon Steele… What a great pen name! Looking forward to reading your stuff.
Thank you!
love this!!
Awesome! Thank you so much for stopping by,
hahha love it. i refer to the cat as The Beast, kid #1 as DangerMuffin, kid #2 as Peanut The Destroyer, and the definitely the wife as LisaLiscious. The grrrrrrrlz love their nicknames. LisaLiscious not so much. The Beast is just happy we’re no longer in a state of cold war and I’m no longer hurling heavy things at her.
so there ya have it.
Pseudonyms and/or secret identities are made of awesome, so far as I am concerned.
And with my last name…well, I’m not saying I AM a superhero*. But, I am not saying I’m not, either. :p

Will be in Austin Monday through Tuesday morning. Would love to hug you!
