I had a busy weekend at work. I learned how to rewire some old-fashioned light fixtures so that they will work with modern bulbs. No, that is not something everyone who works at a museum has to know. However, between my mother the machinist and my theater days, I’ve been graced with a love a […]
This is a series of short stories, detailing the adventures of Chelsea Childling. You can start with her origin story or pick any story from the index. *** Whiskey burned, but not enough. Chelsea could still taste ocean salt and Jackson’s last kiss. She signaled for another drink. “Aren’t you hunting tonight?” Worry shaded Morgan’s voice. “Nope.” Chelsea […]
The patch of dirt that served as a parking lot had no lights, and the sounds of lapping water came from the dark. Chelsea popped her trunk and deposited her finger overcoat. Water monsters and suede did not mix. As Morgan grabbed the light and generator, Chelsea stretched and readied herself.
Morgan eyed her. “Why are you bait again?”
“Just used to it at this point.”
I did not in fact get a lot of editing done because I filled up google drive. Seriously, I have sooo much stuff on there I cannot make edits to anything.So I bought a thumb drive and today, I will be cleaning out google drive. I do have a LOT of stuff of there, like […]
Yesterday, I got so much done. A had a beta read the Pittsburgh (it’s good), and not only finished the draft I had started and moved to June, but got an entirely new story drafted for May. So I have roughs for April, May, and June. Which feels amazing. Hopefully, I can keep up this […]
I didn’t forget yesterday, I just made the deliberate decision not to blog until I met with my editor. And once I did that, it was pretty late and I was tired. But the good news is, my usually hard to please editor really liked the story. Some plot points we had been arguing, he […]
There was no writing yesterday. Nor any physical therapy, which is bad. But I did cross a lot off my list, including fixing Sammy’s butterfly wings. Hopefully, I can get something done today. I have people coming to give an estimate on trimming the freaking grove that is my yard (Seriously, I have twenty trees […]
I did start May’s Chelsea story yesterday. Although upon reflection I might want to push it off to June and do something else. I’ll have to see what my editor thinks. I will finish it first regardless. I would love to have five or six roughs in the bank. It would make me feel so […]
I finished that Werewolves in Pittsburgh story, and then I pulled up my half-finished Chelsea story and finished that. Today, if I can stay on task, I want to start May’s Chelsea story too. I will likely edit April’s story this weekend, and set up the post on Monday. In other writing news, I have […]
It’s been nearly one week since I started this Werewolves in Pittsburgh story, and while I’m happy I’m writing, it’s getting long. Well long for me. Lately. I hit 6k words last night and I’m at about the 2/3 mark. Of course, I’ve been thinking I’m at the 2/3 mark for three or four days […]
