Somebody up there hates me

And that somebody seems to be the United States Postal Service. I did not get the eagerly-awaited Vol. 1 today. I received the CD I ordered a full week after ordering Vol. 1. And there’s no mail tomorrow… I have read the first six pages of Vol. 2, and somehow managed to put it down […]

Who did that?!?

Okay, this is really weird. I swear to you I’ve barely been writing at all. I know I haven’t, I’ve been going over and over the same scene, and distracted by lots of other stuff besides. I haven’t moved forward at all, and the scene has been mostly changes, not additions. So exactly how did

Just so you know where I’m coming from, when I say some of these people really need to dig a little deeper into those big ole books they’re always

Venting

Not about writing, at least not to start. Here goes. Why do people feel compelled to drop in on a suicide survivors’ group and start preaching about how our loved ones are in hell? What possible good could these people think they’re doing? News flash, folks–the ONLY possible effect you can have on those left

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.
