Writing Life

The life most real to me. As evidenced by the preponderance of posts.

Typing Flame

Writing just isn’t happening lately, you may have noticed the lack of a word count.ย  Well, I have one tonight–sort of. 2958.ย  That’s how many words of a manuscript I typed into this computer, since I wasn’t writing.ย  If I could find my document holder, it would probably be higher.ย  Oh well.ย  That’s one of […]

August!

Hope is excited, school starts in fifteen days.ย  I’m excited, it’s a new month in a new house.ย  Everything is still in boxes, but nearly everything is IN the house.ย  Two more easy trips will empty Bly’s storage unit.ย  It’s a grand thing. AND I wrote 719 words tonight.ย  On a fanfic, but still.ย  It’s

Muses On Board

My muses are getting on board with the editing! In case you were wondering, my muses are not like what other people call muses.ย  First, we don’t only write when inspired.ย  Well…maybe I should put it that we get inspired pretty much daily, because I plant my behind in front of this computer every single

Blarg!!

I’m getting nowhere.ย  This is three days of getting nowhere.ย  My voices are sabotaging me, I think. This book ends badly.ย  I mean, one of my beloved characters (not sure if I’ve named names before, so I’ll be cagey now and hope I haven’t–note to self, go search) has to die.ย  I have tried and

Tick, Tick, Tick

July 8th.ย  Time is ticking by.ย  We don’t have a house.ย  We looked at a mobile home today that had a park not six feet from the back door, but we just can’t cope with the house and the location (small and cramped, way the flip from my work) even for the park and the
