This was not the productive morning that I’d hoped it would be.
I’ve hemmed and hawed, puttered here and there. I’ve managed to feed myself, shower and dress, walk the dog, eat something and spend the lunch hour with Todd. I’ve plucked through half of the mass of RSS feeds, I’ve toyed with [...]

Getting Started, Keeping Going

Both Easier and Harder Than Imagined
Speaking of unintended messes.
So, like I said, I decided to go through and correct all those mistakes. This took hours of nit-picky work. But as I neared completion, I decided to import the journal entries from the original ‘scribofelidae’ site.
I thought I had, actually, but in double checking found there [...]

I know, I know. The rule is that I get my words down and then I can blog.
And that hasn’t happened yet today. The words. But it’s a soft rule next to the hard rule of 250 words per day, which I am still meeting or exceeding day to day. Besides, I didn’t actually blog [...]

The Ninja of Writing Doom
Is it any wonder that I don’t get writing done some nights?
This was taken about three nights ago. I’d gotten ahead on my word count, but needed to shift around. I felt like, sitting at my computer, I was getting stale. So I picked up my little lap-desk table and sat at the papasan chair.
Now, [...]

NaNoWriMo Day Four: +1,625 words
Tough night.
I’m glued to all the media outlets, listening to the earliest of results coming in for the American election. I’m not sure if I am going to get much more done tonight than to type in what I managed at work today. And I foolishly opened a Bacardi Breezer, strawberry daqueri, and I’m already [...]

De-stressing, Reading, and, oh, yeah, more Crack …
Sparrow King is set aside, for now. Possibly until the summer. I’m playing with a few short stories, two fantasy and one horror, and leaving it at that. No more freaking myself out. It’s been a while since I’ve woken up thinking of possibilities instead of fears, limits and disappointments. [...]

Aren’t Computers … FUN?
*grumble* So much for my righteous indignation and the accompanying oath to finish the read-through by the end of the weekend, hell, high water, and all that. Saturday was pretty good, spent several hours at it before heading out that night for our regular hang-out night with the Baxters. It still amazes me how much time it [...]

One Week Later …
(Oh, you fucking bastard LJ! You ate my post!) (mutters and composes herself) Where does the time go? Out with daily updates, unless I am writing and this past week I was not writing. Sure, I’ve started a short story and have a handful of other ideas I am playing with, I’ve an exercise to get [...]

To The Stars!
I have just confirmed that I will be attending Ad Astra, held in Toronto on March 2-4, 2007, with Lesley, my pal from high school.
I’ve only been to two Ad Astras, once in 2000 and once in … 2002? The first was with my friend Corilee and we had a great time. The second [...]

Actual, proper entry!
I suppose I’ve moved from ‘excited’ to ’scared’.
The manuscript sits, perched on top of my color printer, looking monstrous and heavy and too large to weild. I haven’t looked at it since I placed the last of the tab dividers on Chapter 21. As I was writing, headlong towards the finish, editing seemed [...]
