Flame

Teh Shiny!!

My language rocks.  Observe. Pay attention. One false move now…Flame breathed relief as she landed a toe on the balcony. A light flashed, but she’d been told to expect that. Flame eased down to stand, and waited. “Who comes?” “Vrafha Jamrhee kivoriynle juné.” I bring warning. “A Vral?” A figure appeared behind flowing curtains, a […]

Too Tired Part Duh

But I wrote this today. “There’s something…” Bran muttered, staring into the forest. “I see shadows, but ahead of them…” “A cat!” Kessa yelped from her tree. “It’s a hearth-cat! The poor thing! Tolor—“ “We cannot help it,” the cleric cut in. “Guard yourself, Kessa.” Flame counted dogs and bet herself a guilder that streak

Stupid Thermometer

I’m sick.  I know it.  I feel like I could melt wax on my forehead. So why won’t the dumb thermometer admit my temp is higher than 97.7? And why the hell do I care?  I know I’m sick.  I don’t need some stupid piece-o-crap to tell me so.  The facts are I feel like

I haven’t been able to write lately.  Oh, lots of editing, plenty of staring-at-the-screen-planning-to-write, but no actual writing.  It just wasn’t happening.  But all the other stuff was stuff that needed doing, so I couldn’t really freak out about it.

Ve-get-a-bles

I made a yummy dinner with lots of vegetables in it tonight. “You are what you eat,” explains the rest of my evening. Well, it’s not that bad.  I did send the first chapter of Flame to Race, and she’s very happy.  (Yay!!)  She asked for a bit more description, though, and I allowed that

More Editing, yay

I’ve really about had it with editing.  I want to write!  But what I need to write now, needs heavy editing first. What I had of the first draft of Flame came to 15,366 words.  I’ve already cut about 600.  I love how that tightened up the first chapter! But it’s Joss that is beating
