This is a series of short stories, detailing the adventures of Chelsea Childling. You can start with her origin story or pick something from the index.*** The sterile grey of the highway fell away as Chelsea turned towards the back roads. Her directions from her current partner lead her down a dirt road to a field with an […]
Yes, I edited last night. Finally, got together with my editor and read some stories. I am set for next Saturday! That being said, I still have a lot of writing to do. I only have two drafts in the hopper. I thought about doing Camp Nanowrimo this month, and I still might. I have […]
Yesterday, turned out… weird. Despite much snow, we were busy at work. I did get some of my maintenance done, but I do actually have work to do, especially when we have paying customers. And then I got home, and my editor had to reschedule. Considering that I read stories out loud, I get it. […]
No, I didn’t finish maintenance yesterday. I accidently deleted a decade’s worth of drafts on my books and novels and I have been pouting ever since. I will likely be finished pouting tonight, but I needed to mourn this. On the one hand, I have the finished versions safe and sound, and all the notes. […]
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 […]
The museum is redoing an exhibit and with my back, I cannot help. I have been given a few days off. While I would love to say I’m going to spend them writing, I am not. I have a few things I have to get to, including my follow up regarding my fall. But I […]
I was really hoping to finish this story yesterday. I know how it ends, I know the monster, and I have a few more scenes and dialogues to add in. I have this story. But finding the words to express that scene in my mind and the emotions I know are there… that’s the hard […]
So we’re getting another storm today. Which means a quiet day at work. I might have to watch some car chases or videos about New Mexico. Something to get me away from this snow and cold and back to the desert.
No, I didn’t forget yesterday, I just… I had an appointment, which wrecked my Monday writing session, and I swore that I would sit down and write later.Well… later never really happened. So whatever, sorry. Anyway, writing today will probably happen.
When she’d gotten a job in Tucumcari, Chelsea could hardly contain her excitement. An authentic piece of Route 66 history. But like the highway system, the world had moved on.
