There are a bunch of little things I have to do. I reread some Uncommon Animals stories for continuity, and found the inevitable typos. I need to tweak my Monsters of Pittsburgh covers. I need to write better blurbs for the later stories. But I don’t want to do any of it. I don’t want […]
It’s funny how it works. When I had time, I had no inspiration. Now that I’m living based on the alarms on my phone again, I’m suddenly writing up a storm. The good news is that I’ll have lots of material for publishing if I have to go back to work. The bad news is […]
I am amazing at procrastinating. I know most people would consider writing my daily blog the night before the opposite of procrastinating. The kicker is that it’s supposed to be a daily exercise. Now granted, I give myself one day off a week, but I’m also digressing to make a point. I don’t want to proofread. […]
The weepies are mostly past, replaced with more than a little annoyance at the fact that I subscribe several tv/movie outlets but outside of Hook I can’t find any of my favorite Robin Williams movies to watch with my kids. Though I did watch Hook with them last night, and they loved it. Today I’m […]
I haven’t finished my Nano… *hangs head.* I want to, but it’s an action sequence… and a LONG one. Even wore, I can see the plot holes that run over the three pieces. They are to be expected. I’ve banged this bad boy out over three weeks with no editing. Normally, I’d just put off […]
Usually, I like to stick to my own writing. But occasionally, something from the outside world rocks the bubble that is my writing life. Earlier this week, Marvel announced that Thor is now a woman in the comics. And I found myself thinking about it and getting mad… “Kate, this is your logical side. You don’t […]
I finished the second Jeff story yesterday. I’m two-thirds of the way done, and the final stretch is in sight. So I took my kids to the pool and then napped the rest of the day. Today, I’ll start to push myself and see if I can can’t get this bad boy written in a week. […]
I’m pretty sure that I have ADD. I know, I know, self-diagnosis is THE most obnoxious thing ever, but my oldest has been professionally diagnosed with ADHD, and my parents often chuckle when I tell them stories about his day, and usually find a similar story about me. So I think I’m on safe ground […]
Last night, I was giggling over how adorably sarcastic one of my new characters is, when I suddenly just couldn’t look at Scrivener for one more moment. I’m enjoying the story and I like my characters. In fact, a new favorite should be back in a few hundred words. But I can’t do it right now. […]
I went into my nanowrimo with a vague plan. I had some idea where Jeff’s story was going. Enough that I wasn’t too worried about connecting the dots while I wrote. Unfortunately, I’ve hit a point where the story could spin off in a few directions, and I’m not sure which path would be best. […]
