We’ve got fun and games!
Just finished my words for the night and feeling pretty good about them. I can see the end of this short story in the next day or two and I’ve started pulling in secondary documents to help with the details for the second draft. The setting is a steampunk-ish [...]

That Was Close
I’m really glad that I decided to give my short story a close inspection before submitting it. I almost did last night, changing a word here and there while my eyes glazed over, but set it aside for today to make sure. I printed out a copy, sat down stairs, and starting going over it.
I [...]

No More Pepsi
Watching the Lost premiere, very sleepy, and fending off a headache from entirely too much Pepsi consumption. Also looking over the short story that I think I will post to the OWW.
I’m wallowing in a bit of self-pity here. I’ve spent some time looking through the current submissions, feeling deeply inadequate, and then reviewing [...]

I Guess This Needs A Title
Words done entirely at work today, on the job, by longhand. A slim 264 words, but that’s okay. It’s nice to know that some days I can get the words in and knowing I can take the night off and just hang out. Not that the words have been coming all that hard lately.
I fired [...]

Workshopping, And Why Don’t I Do It?
I’ve spent the last hour typing in some notes from my original laptop. At the time I bought the Macbook I was switching between LSB and PageFour faithlessly and the dossier files in LSB cannot be imported into, well, anything else. I had popped them over to PageFour so I grabbed them and entered them [...]

Isolation and Fear of Company
I’ve been infused with a certain amount of laziness the last few days. Any attempts at 10-minute magic ended weeks ago, and I used the secondary laptop about three times, with much success, though for whatever reason (laziness?) I just don’t yank it out. I get onto my beautiful little widescreen to check email and [...]

Feeling Better…But…
Not all the way back to normal, healthy me.
Wednesday left work early. Thursday felt better, but still out of it. Slept well enough Wednesday night that I have it a go at work. Thursday night I slept like ass, felt aweful all morning, then went to work to try and slog it out. Managed, but [...]

Feeling Like A Twit
Thanks to help from Leah over at the Online Writing Workshop, I was able to re-create my username, spelled correctly and everything, and get on board. At the moment, I’m putzing around on the site, trying to get my bearings, before taking the dual leap of posting a short story and trying my first crit.
Also [...]

Either/Or
I’m getting twitchy.
Still reading “Writing in Flow” and I’m still percolating. I’ve done something naughty – I’ve dog-eared some pages in the book, but hey, I rationalize, it used to belong to me anyways (my name plate is still in the front cover). Very interesting stuff.
I’m also itching to join the Science Fiction and Fantasy [...]
