The "current" WIP is dead in the water at the moment. Such is life. Remember a couple weeks ago when I suddenly found the ending for the second book in an old trilogy project? I now have a beginning and some ramifications (new scene! wordage! yay!) in book 3. I still have … [Read more...] about Writing progress, such as it is

Passing thoughts on a holiday weekend
It's good to know that Dairy Queen puts its employees in positions that challenge them as individuals. This week's episode of Lost is called "Raised by Another." As if we needed further proof that Claire is DOOMED. If I never fucking see another fucking paint brush, it will … [Read more...] about Passing thoughts on a holiday weekend
Notes from a cranky webmaster
When your cranky webmaster receives a bad scan of 3 pages for the website, one of them handwritten, sent in an image format so that even the typed text can't be copied, she gets EVEN CRANKIER. … [Read more...] about Notes from a cranky webmaster
AAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH
Because what good is it to have such a self-centered, self-serving thing as a blog unless you can scream when you really need to? I am dealing with deeply stupid people today. AAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH. … [Read more...] about AAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUUUGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH

Caitlín Kiernan I love quotes from writers about what it feels like to write. None of them are ever … [Read more...] about Bookslut interviews
make that 18K
Found yet another lost chunk. I'm fairly sure I got them all this time, though. Must get SVN working again, since it saved my ass. … [Read more...] about make that 18K
make that 17K
Not that I've written much since the 15K mark, but yesterday I discovered that my working file was missing a big chunk that I knew I'd written, so I went hunting through old backups and found it. On the down side, this means I really need to go through ALL the old backup files … [Read more...] about make that 17K
screen consumption
Last night I watched a very silly movie, then came home and watched the eclipse, The West Wing, and Lost. Lost was lovely. The Day After Tomorrow, throughout most of its lumbering, overblown plot, had better writing than last night's episode of The West Wing, about which I … [Read more...] about screen consumption
