Writing Life

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

Fighting Inertia

Fighting Inertia

So I’ve been awfully tired lately. Since moving, we’ve been settling in, working late, having an awful lot of appointments…and so on and so forth. To illustrate how tired I’ve been–last week the kid went to respite. Dropped her off Friday afternoon, didn’t have to pick her up till Sunday afternoon. I had a million […]

Seeking Inspiration

That’s what I’m doing today. Totally not wasting time farting about on the internet, nope. I am seeking inspiration because I am an artist, dammit. Also I already did my homework. Anyway, I thought it would be fun to share some of the things I’m looking at today. Not really to give me ideas on

Blog Hop: My Writing Process

Blog Hop: My Writing Process

So the marvelous Siri Paulson tagged me to answer four questions, and I took a bit longer than a week because reasons. But here I am, and here we go! What am I working on? Currently I’m editing a Taro and Rafe novel, Damsel in Distress. It’s a big wonderful mess because I’d always wanted

I’m editing my first NaNovel right now. I’m thinking about how a restaurant would work in the future, what would actually change, and really, in the background…? I’m thinking not so much.

Life After NaNo

Life After NaNo

So life goes on. A bit of the sparkle is gone, but so is a lot of stress. I have a ton of things to do still, but I no longer need to stress about putting NaNo aside to do them–or about putting off more legitimate needs in order to self-indulgently NaNo. I actually read

NaNo 2013, Day One

NaNo 2013, Day One

This morning I started right off typing, but I only got to 104 words before I had to go to work. Then I came home, made dinner, did a few other things that really needed doing, joined my friends in my Friday night chat that I rarely miss for about the last seven years…and then
