Determined to finish my short story today, I didn’t allow myself to mess around much with the internet. Which was great, because I got my story done. But Chelsea is back for February. I also found a notebook with the beginning of a story. I think I may type it out and finish it this […]
Ashley is in the middle of moving and without internet until Wednesday. As for me? I’m just puttering around, working on a little bit of everything. It feels nice not to have a deadline after two years of publishing every month. Granted, I have a deadline for next month, but the story only needs to […]
I sat down yesterday with a clear game plan: Finish my critiques for the anthology I write for, and get to work on a short story for a friend. But, the last story for the anthology is still down, and my friend got the approval for her new apartment, meaning she’s far too busy to […]
Almost a week past my due date, but I’m nearly caught up on my professional obligations. And it’ll be just in time to start publishing… Now the good news is that once I am caught up, I’m caught up. Well, I mean there’s always the next Chelsea Childling story. But there’s always the next Chelsea […]
Doing a daily writing blog means doing it daily. Occasionally, I do my blog the night before, but I try very hard not to give into that temptation. Writing for a living is a marathon, not a sprint. Writing a daily blog means writing daily, and it’s a good habit to be in. But yesterday, […]
First off, Uncommon Animals, the web comic, back up! And the first comic of the year in a doozy. Secondly, I want to give a shout out to my editor, Ash Litton. For those paying attention, yes, this the same Ash who got a mention at the beginning of Cease. In addition to making my stuff look good, […]
I’ve spent the last two days in bed with a sore throat, headache, and upset stomach, sucking down hot honey and lemon juice while hoping the pressure in my ears would go away. Woke today with a tickle, but the headache and pukey feelings are gone, and I can swallow without gagging. So I’m back on […]
I’ve been holding off, because… spoilers. But it’s been almost a month, so I feel justified. Just a quick warning: I’m going to type some more stuff, as I try to get beyond the wordpress barrier so people don’t have to read any spoilers that they don’t want. Okay, this will hopefully have done the trick, and […]
My husband came home early yesterday, so I didn’t get to finish the Chelsea story I had been working on. But, no big deal, I told myself. I’ll finish it in the morning. It only needs a few hundred more words. Then I woke up with an upset stomach, headache, and a sore throat. So, once […]
Got yesterday’s story finished. And I had an easier time getting teeth pulled… and I mean that literally as I have had teeth pulled. It was, no exaggeration, less stressful. But it’s done, and I had some serious fun. I’m trying now to get caught up on my other professional obligations. Critiquing my friends and […]
