Because I Love Joss

Because I Love Joss

I’m editing! Yay, me! Here’s something I can’t stop snickering over. It won’t mean as much to you as it does to me, but I’m posting it anyway–just so I can move on. Well inside the building, but before anyone entered the Chamber itself, security men searched people. Paige swallowed hard as one man then […]

Editing Goes On

Editing Goes On

My friend and I are poking each other to edit. It’s so easy, you see, to just not quite get to it. To wander off into rearranging the desk for optimal efficiency. To run through the notes one more time while also trying to narrow down open browser tabs just a little.ย To get drawn into

Stupid Weekend

Stupid Weekend

Stupid weekends coming to an end. Stupid having to go to work on Mondays. Stupid, stupid. The more I work on this novel the more I love it. Joss cracks me up, Paige delights me, and Zeke is starting to come into his own. I don’t want to go back to work and leave them

Instead of a #5kday, I'm Calling it a Day

I’m dropping out of NaNo. I’ve thought about it long and hard (about half an hour!) and I need to do this. NaNo, as I’ve stated more than once, should be fun. Yes, it’s a challenge, but if you’re not having fun, something needs to be re-evaluated. I’m not having fun. I don’t know why–I

New-to-Me Time-Waster

I went through it all, though (since yesterday) so it’s safe for me to talk about it. Have you seen Set Phasers to LOL yet? This is me, dying laughing. Most sites, if they include SF stuff at all, will mostly make fun of the fans. I can’t tell you how many “will never get
