New job, new post

August 9, 2002 Stephanie Leary

I've been burying myself in webbish links this week, mostly on accessibility, blogs, and content management systems. Dug up some interesting stuff along the way: 30 Days to a More Acessible Weblog, a brilliant tutorial on accessibility for blogs (and, by extension, websites in … [Read more...] about New job, new post

No writing here, move along

July 25, 2002 Stephanie Leary

Not much writing to speak of – a few notes on the mainstream novel, thoughts of reworking my VP novelette. I'm far too easily distracted. If I don't post writing progress tonight, someone slap me! … [Read more...] about No writing here, move along

Buffymania

July 16, 2002 Stephanie Leary

I started watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer the day before Father's Day, and on Sunday I finished the most recent episode. I'm still missing three, but for all intents and purposes I breezed through the entire series in about a month. Scary. So here's my collection of Buffyish … [Read more...] about Buffymania

Inspiration in the shower, again

July 16, 2002 Stephanie Leary

Wrote 760 words in a mad dash after my shower last night. I've just finished typing them up and I realized that one of the scenes isn't really a scene at all, just a quick outline. I'll try to write it properly later this week. I finished Buffy. Yay! … [Read more...] about Inspiration in the shower, again

Plot and motivation brought to you by Mutant Enemy

July 10, 2002 Stephanie Leary

No writing to speak of this week. I've been watching Buffy the Vampire Slayer obssessively, and it's sparked plot ideas for the gaping black hole of plotlessness that used to the second half of the book. I have plot now. I also have motivations for several supporting characters, … [Read more...] about Plot and motivation brought to you by Mutant Enemy

Ambush in the dark

July 2, 2002 Stephanie Leary

178 words last night – another as-I-was-falling-asleep ambush. It's going to need rewriting, but it gets the idea across. … [Read more...] about Ambush in the dark

And that makes 30K. Whee! … [Read more...] about 30K!

Writing at work again

June 28, 2002 Stephanie Leary

81 words and a cool plot twist for the end of the book. Total for the week is 1672, assuming nothing else jumps up and bites me before tomorrow's group meeting. And it better not – I have other things that need doing tonight! … [Read more...] about Writing at work again

Goal reached

June 27, 2002 Stephanie Leary

183 words at work this morning. (Bad me!) That puts me over 1500 for the week (so far) which is a Goodness because I'm starting the Breakout Novel course over at Forward Motion tonight, and I have to work on an author website, and I'm going to be very busy for the rest of the … [Read more...] about Goal reached
