Writing Life

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

Four Thousand words?

It’s hard to believe I went up by four thousand words! Wow! And that’s mostly yesterday, I only wrote for maybe two hours after the belt test Friday. But–95,509 is what my word count says this morning, and I choose to believe it. The weird bit is, I don’t remember writing all that much yesterday. […]

Orange belt!!

Hope is an orange belt, Hope is an orange belt! And I’m an incredibly proud mommy!!!! It is, however, a very good thing for her that they take age into account, since at least half the techniques she did backwards, so as to keep from turning her back on Mommy. She’s so cute. Or rather,

Four Nerves left

*poink* Make that three nerves left. However, I refuse to rail at the idiocy of the human race. We all have our stupid moments, and I’m sure there’s some sort of physical law at work, making so many people have theirs in my office today. Sigh. 89,488 is the word count as of 11 last

A creative death

I mean the death of creativity, don’t panic. Or at least a dearth. It’s 7 on a Saturday morning, I’ve got the whole weekend (mostly) to write, and I can’t even remember that ending I talked about in my last blog. Sheridon seems to be obnoxious just to be a shit, I can’t remember why

Attitude Adjustment

Sher has decided he’s not who I thought, and made himself a good deal less of a jerk. Which is good, the way he seemed last night, I never could have stood him long enough to write him his own book. The ideas are percolating away now… Rafe and Taro are where my focus needs
