About 550 words tonight, mostly background stuff rather than story-words. I could probably do more, but typing really hurts right now. … [Read more...] about no more typing

Expensive art
Damn. That isn't available as a print, and the lithograph goes for about $2500. Clearly, I need to finish this novel and sell it to the highest bidder! … [Read more...] about Expensive art
Michael Parkes
I saw a new-ish lithograph by Michael Parkes this morning while I was looking for art for my office. It looks nothing like anything in my novel, but it's sparked a whole slew of ideas.

Scraps and snippets
I've been scribbling more notes at work. I brought home seven little slips of paper yesterday and began typing them up.

Pathetic.
36 words. WHAT a total. I'm just generally brain-dead tonight. I'll probably be much more productive reading a book or something. However, I did want to share the thought yesterday that got me going again: When I die, would I rather be able to say that I saw every episode of … [Read more...] about Pathetic.
*blinkblink*
170 last night and 220 so far tonight – and I just had an a-ha moment. It explains so much! (How can you explain to a non-writer that you know what's going to happen, but you don't necessarily know what leads up to it? In my experience they just look at you. blinkblink … [Read more...] about *blinkblink*
