Keen Is Pushy

Phoenix says Keen is pushy.  *grin*  She paints, and decided to produce the painting of Keen I describe in chapter…three, I’m thinking.  And apparently one thing all art forms have in common is the ability to drag you back no matter what you should be doing. Keen is…well, pretty.  The word isn’t strong enough, actually, […]

Moving Sux

As much as I love the house, moving sucks.  I want to be writing with my last week of vacation, not moving. That said, I managed absolutely nothing in the way of furthering my career today.  Well, I guess reading a bit in the Snarkives will be helpful eventually.  It’s like reading on in my

Chop, Chop

I cut 198 words from Eve’s book today.  Miss Snark said to do it. Well, you know.  Not directly.  I just was reading and reading (not writing, not writing…) and I decided to get to work.  She was talking about those first few pages that you send with a query, so I went there.  And

I

We Got the House!

*dancing around like an idiot*  We got the house, we got the house! No, no, don’t leave, I’ll stop singing.  Honest.  If you ask nicely, I’ll even request Bly take over.  She’s a MUCH better singer than I am.  She even majored in vocal performance till she realized the competitiveness was sapping her joy in

Blarg!!

I’m getting nowhere.  This is three days of getting nowhere.  My voices are sabotaging me, I think. This book ends badly.  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.  I have tried and
