I am forgoing writing tonight, the night before the next Hypergraphic meeting. Delany’s About Writing compels me. It must be finished. Afterwards, I will raise my head up and wonder at the passage of time, curious but not distressed, because I know I have spent the time well.
That was weird and cryptic [...]

Battlestar End Of Line
I realize that I’m late to this party, this Battlestar BYOB, which in this case stands for ‘bring your own bat’ for the cross-web beat-down sessions regarding the series finale. Can one be both satisfied and disappointed with something at the same time? Because that’s where I sit, on the fence, still chewing [...]

Welcome to the Jumble
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 [...]

Formatting Fiend
Tonight it’s an early night – after frantic running around after work, having both friends and a headache over, I’ve left Todd to play host and have retreated to the bedroom to play with the blog and watch episodes of the Muppet Show (televisionary stuff).
The cave worked. I wrote about 250 words today, and that [...]

I Wrote On A Work Night
I know, that seems incredibly mundane, writing on a work night. It was a little more than 850 words, which is a nice surprise, considering I don’t write on work days anymore.
You see, before I went to day shift, I had my mornings to myself. I would fritter away great chunks of it, but still [...]

It Needed More Green
Really. S’true. Everything needs more green. And, I decided, so did this place.
Just came back from an impromptu puppy-walk. Spring woke up and realized she had work to do, and is busy melting snowbanks, running ice-melt rivers through patches of built-up road sand, and growing grass around the edges [...]

Finishing Up Early
Today’s words: 2,105
Total word count: 74,139
And finished early, too! It’s not quite 2:00 pm, and for me that’s excellent. Finished Chapter 18 and started Chapter 19. I had about 1,500 done before Todd came home for lunch.
The kitten has been on a cute-rampage, playing with string, bouncing off furniture, carrying on. Most of [...]

Sleeping Puppy
Well, she was sleeping. As Jack moved towards her food bowl, she got up to see what he was up to. Now she’s sprawled in from of them, just to keep an eye on ‘em.
Not too many entries lately, as I’ve been busy with work, doing minor things around the house, and with [...]

Summer already?
Well, we’re back to our hard-core hours again, and I’m already up at 44 hours this week. Ya know, I did the math the other day: as soon as I hit 42 hours a week, which is pretty often now, and will likely be steady on until after August, I put in a whole, [...]

Survivor Musings & Work Annoyances
Watching one of my favorite shows, Survivor, which was delayed, I think, because the US President decided to placate American fears of the price of oil. Uh-huh. Oooookay. Unless you take over Saudi Arabia and the rest of the Middle East, I’m not sure how he’s going to make things better. [...]
