With the first draft of my second novel done, I looked forward to spending the week before NaNoWriMo prepping for the next one. “I have a week,” I gleefully told myself. “Plenty of time. AGES.” I laughed heartily, smug and satisfied that everything would fall into place without much effort.
Silly, silly girl.
Sunday? [...]

More Books, More Worries
The last couple of weeks have been eaten up with work and worry over a job I was applying for. The dust seems to have settled on that matter, so it’s back to regular life-stuff.
Which mostly hasn’t been about writing.
I finally got my hands on a copy of The Idiot’s Guide to [...]

10 Cent Surprise Bag
Here’s a list of everything and anything else besides writing that I did today!
I’m enjoying Melusine by Sarah Monette. I’d been meaning to read it for a while now and I used my trip to Montreal as the test to try out Stanza on the iPhone. Yes, I did buy it on e-Reader, [...]

A Collection of Random Facts
A collection of (not-so?) random notes until I have something directly related to my writing to blog about:

And I did, at least on Tuesday. Errand running [...]

Hesitantly Hyper
I’m debating whether or not I should go to tomorrow’s Hypergraphic’s meeting.
Since the last meeting (the last, cheese-less meeting) I have not written a damn word. Not a word. I had time off to spare, I was home. Granted, a great deal of time was spent taking apart the old [...]

What Does Progress Look Like? I Forget.
Everything’s gone to hell lately – my posting, my writing, and now, my office.
The new desk continues to be expansive and sparsely cluttered with only the essentials: speakers, satellite radio, lamp, and computer. The off-desk cups nicely corral my pens, pencils, markers and other need-handy tools. The rest of the material that used [...]

Excuses Like Dandilions
I haven’t had any coffee or tea yet, which may explain why I’m so incredibly short-tempered with things today. I’ve had niggling little technical difficulties for a week or so now, and today I seem to have both sorted them and found a host of others. At one point, having reset Safari entirely [...]

Shocking Truth
Fiction World Rocked as Woman Claims No Sexual Attraction to Neil Gaiman.
Hee!
Well, of course it’s clearly April Fools. (And it seemed a good time to test out the ‘Press This!’ feature for WordPress.)
Today is a day of futzing around. After getting next to nowhere yesterday, I sat down after dinner and mind-mapped my little heart [...]
