I did not, in fact, get any writing done. Mostly because I found two cute chairs at a garage sale and promised my husband I wouldn’t pile them in the garage with the rest of my projects. So they are cleaned, sanded, stained, sealed, and drying. They’ll be in the living room tonight. But I […]
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 barest slit of a moon opened the sky above her as Chelsea pulled off the highway. The last week of practice had imprinted the route firmly in her mind. Which was […]
So I did get some writing done, but what I thought was December’s story is actually November’s. I’m not digging it so far, either. But I have to get words down to fix them. That being said, I also realized that I scheduled July’s story for tomorrow instead of last Saturday, so my bad there. […]
Yesterday was slammed at work. Much more of what I’m used to for this time of year. I did not have a moment to concentrate until the end of the day and then I was too used up to try. So no, no writing yesterday. Not sure how today will look. We might have had […]
As I figured too much painting this long weekend. My kids will be finishing it up today. We had a heatwave and took it easy. Even in the air conditioning, moving around too much can get to you out here. It’s the lack of water. Anyway, I have no idea how this week will play […]
No writing yesterday. I was busy with projects in the morning and then people came in. It happens. And really it should be happening more often. But we’ll see about today. I would love to get Decemeber’s story done so I could take a break and plan out a bunch of them. Anyway, I have […]
I did start the next Chelsea story. I’m setting up for a big fight, so I have a few quieter stories, slice of life type stuff and a big ol’ info dump on the monster. Both of which are fun to write. Also, I have to walk into work today and tomorrow, so hopefully, that […]
Yesterday was about as busy as I thought it would be. I didn’t have the time to focus on much outside of work. But Wednesday days tens to be slower, so hopefully, I can get some words in today. I’ve been thinking about my novels a lot recently. Songs are triggering ideas and scenes. My […]
While I didn’t get any editing done, I did finish October’s Chelsea story, and made real progress on painting my living room. Our house was built in the 1970s and it shows. It’s a split-level, semi-open floor plan, and my living/dining room is a HUGE L-shaped room. It’s the truly BIG painting project in the […]
Walked into work again, wrote most of another Chelsea story. I could have finished it, but it felt disjointed; which is an accomplishment with only 800 words. I think I can fix it though. It’s a rare one that’s mostly built on previous stories. I just have to accept that and link people to all […]
