Inspiration like Lightning!

I love writing…I discovered today that my Marine has a new admirer–the slimy slaver she’s dying to kill, just to clean up the galaxy! And, ooh, is it making her mad, that she can’t get away with just ripping him to shreds… Of course, he’s trying to come on to her–ever wonder what gifts a […]

The True Meaning of Fractured

I wonder if the person who came up with the term fractured personality was, or knew, a writer.  An intuitive writer, which apparently is what I am.  I certainly feel fractured today! I’m giving up for the night, in the middle of chapter 16.  I’m having a *bleep* of a time keeping my characters straight

Expletive Deleted

I’m going to have to hurt someone, if this keeps going on. I do everything I can to get writing time, and it just seems to blow up in my face. Why can’t anyone on this planet get along without my expert help? Okay, I’m exaggerating. A little. I did get to the end of

Lucky for me, it was only a minor event this time.  I’m hoping my personal gremlin takes most of its obnoxious moods out

Finally, Some Work Done!

It’s technically Saturday, but since I haven’t slept, it’s still Friday by my count.  It was a good day, Friday.  I got a gel pad keyboard wrist rest, so all the work I’ve done today doesn’t have me in as much pain as usual.  I just finished Chapter 13, before I came to blog!  (The

Frustration is the Mother of Annoyance

Another long day of getting nothing accomplished, I swear.  Every five minutes, seemed like, someone needed something, and it was something only I could provide.  Argh! For once, though, I did not let my mother-in-law guilt me into driving her all over the place.  I didn’t invite her, and I told her they wouldn’t just
