Writing

Well, that was weird. I thought I knew what the scene needed to be, but it took off on its own and became something just slightly different. This feels right, though, which means I have to go change chapter 2 (which didn't feel right) to match. Dunno whether to love it or hate … [Read more...] about Hmph.

Glass House is a story in progress that I'm really liking. It's blog fic, so you have to start at the beginning and read up. Friends of mine may be startled to see another House of J, but I swear I had nothing to do with it. … [Read more...] about Something fun for Monday

I've been feeling pretty icky, mostly because I was unexpectedly in the presence of cats all weekend. I really need to learn to ask about that before I visit new places, as sad as that is. So the writing weekend wasn't so productive, but I did get one good idea that's been … [Read more...] about midweek flyby

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?

On the down side, this means I really need to go through ALL the old backup files … [Read more...] about make that 17K

So late last night, not super-late but late enough that I wanted to go to bed, I finished a lot of NotWriting stuff, took a shower, and connected head with pillow. What comes to my tired little mind but the key piece of the key scene in the story I never had time to work on all … [Read more...] about *zzzzzzz*

I've added about five more pages to it over the last couple of days. My writing time looks severely compromised for the rest of the week, though. … [Read more...] about Still kicking
