No Doomy Summer of Editing DOOM

No Doomy Summer of Editing DOOM

This year it looks like I’ll only have about two weeks off work. (I know–only?) That may, possibly, be enough time to edit one novel, but it certainly isn’t time enough for more than one. So, alas, no Doomy Summer of Editing DOOM this year. It’s not DOOM if it’s only one novel. Geez. I […]

In Lieu of Anything Intelligent…

…have some half-awake ramblings from my 750 words this morning. Some of it is actually addressed to you, gentle reader, because I was attempting to come up with a blog post but I kept wandering off. Good morning, my lovelies. Have I told you how terribly pleased I am with Lukas and Alan? Well, I

KD Sarge, Writing Slut?

You know how some writers are afraid editors will mess up their work? That’s not me, but there are other writers–or perhaps usually the same writers–who are determined to write what they want in every way.

Uhh…have a bit of Louder than Sirens, Louder than Bells? It’s now past 30,000 words, oops. Saturday dawned with low threatening clouds, but it was dry and the weather

Tag, I’ll Do It!

Blame Murphy. I’m not usually one for joining memes but this sounded interesting, and I wanted to blog anyway. So the way it works: answer the questions, come up with eleven of my own, and tag more people to keep the game going. Sort of a chain letter but more interesting. 🙂 Right then. Here goes.

A Brief Whine

I need to accomplish something, but every time I try, my cat(s) gets in my way. Or my kid starts talking to me. Or my headache steps up a notch. Normally I hate to complain. I figure there’s no one out there with a shortage of whiny people in his/her life. If someone wants to
