Hot damn, finally finished summarizing all the scenes written to date in the format for the manuscript build. It’s taken way long that it should be that can be blamed not just on my own skittishness but because to make these notes I have to refer to the draft written so far. I [...]

Doing Foolish Things
I’m doing something I may regret.
I’ve taken precautions. I took a Snapshot in Scrivener earlier today and now I’m ripping my chapter separators right out. Most the first chapters are staying together, but a lot of the later ones are getting sliced up. It’s been something I’ve been meaning to do for a couple of [...]

Random Geekery
I wrote 1,200+ words today. Huzzah to me. Not as much, perhaps, as I would have liked, but much more than normal. Again, I began with hand-written words I squeezed out at work during our first, relatively quiet hour on the production floor and kept it rolling. Even finished Chapter Nine.
And I changed the banner [...]

Hello world! (Third Time’s The Charm)
I am leaping over to WordPress because I am faithless to computer programs (Scrivener/Liquid Story Binder/PageFour, Safari/Firefox, etc.), and blogs are no different.

Flip Flop Glub
Okay, so I have the attention span of a goldfish.
After having an issue with a plug-in for Firefox (couldn’t completely uninstall it, and the un-delete-able folder it left behind would have driven me insane), I’ve scrapped it and gone back to Safari – simple, sleek and speedy. Why go anywhere else?
So now it’s me, [...]

It’s Mine
Okay, so, technically I shouldn’t even have it right now. But here I am, my fingers gliding across a snow-white keyboard, luxuriating in a purchase that I’ve dreamed of for years and years.
Yes, I have the MacBook now.
Six months early, true, but there is still the payment to be made, still six months of no [...]

The Bet
Todd has challenged me. I wasn’t sure if I would take him up on it, as tempting an offer as it was, but it wasn’t until he crossed the line that I said, with complete conviction, “Oh yeah. It’s on.”
I speak of the MacBook; long have I lusted, long have I eschewed.
Honestly, I forget how [...]
