Three Thousand and MEH

Three Thousand and MEH

Yesterday I wrote three thousand words. I don’t even remember what about. I felt like the story was moving at last. Today I worked and stayed late for site council and went out to fetch “fast” (it was not fast) Chinese food for dinner and came home and did homework, and now my story won’t […]

Pain in the Butt Only Higher Up

Pain in the Butt Only Higher Up

I’ve been having a pain in my side for a few days now. Trying to take a deep breath is asking to get stabbed, and I can’t even lie down because it makes it worse. I’d about convinced myself that somehow I’d cracked a rib or something–I mean, that happened to Eve in one of

NaNo 2013: Day Thirteen

NaNo 2013: Day Thirteen

1852 words today. It’s no way to catch up (I don’t have enough days left to catch up by less than two hundred words a day!) but at least I’m not falling another day behind. And the farther I get from the beginning, I expect the easier it will get to be. I’m pretty sure

Once Upon a NaNo

Once Upon a NaNo

Once for NaNo I wrote a story about a redheaded mage chasing after the man he loved. It wasn’t quite that simple, of course. I tossed in demons and broken magic and a mad mage and a llama, just to mix things up. Also to go with my long fascination with marine life, this was

A Blog Post in Ten Minutes

Yeah, I put the timer on. Sue me. 😉 Seriously, been having a tough time getting ANYTHING done lately. I’ve been working late a lot, and by the time I get home, get dinner dealt with, get dishes done, get to my desk, at least poke at homework…well, by the time I could possibly turn
