(Advent) December 2

Wednesday, December 2 Molly was seated on one of the stools in her kitchen at CrossWinds Books, a cup of her special Christmas tea cooling in a simple clay mug that Drew had brought back for her from one of his trips beside her as she sketched designs for a gingerbread cottage. Her pencil flew …

(advent) December 1 – a new Advent story!

Yes, it’s that time of year again! Pull up a chair in the tea room, accept a cuppa and enjoy! *** “Okay, guys, dinner!” Molly Barrett pulled the casserole dish from the oven and the kitchen filled with the smells of melted butter, mashed potatoes, and rich gravy. Once she’d placed the shepherd’s pie on …

(nano) And Advent #5 is DONE

  With a day to spare, I validated Advent #5 (which really needs a title) at 50,081 words. And it’s done! So starting December 1, come back here to see what Schrodinger, Molly, Drew, and the rest of the Carter’s Cove crew are up to for THIS December!   However, this is only one goal. …

(writing/personal) Nano on the horizon!

I can’t believe it’s nearly November. This year has flown by. You know what else I can’t believe? I’m going to try and write two novels in November. Yes, I’m probably insane. But, well, what are goals for if not to inspire us, right? I’ve started going to the studio first thing in the morning …

(weekly update) It’s Sunday again – a day of rest, right? No.

Well, in a way it is. I’m in my favorite sweat pants and my DKP teeshirt, and I have no intention of changing. I’m going to move at a pace that still gets things done, but doesn’t wear me out. I’m getting my next Remicade treatment on Wednesday, and I’m still nurturing a cold (which …

(writing) NaNo is coming!

It’s getting colder. I have my first cold of the fall (joy. It didn’t even wait for September 23 to come in, and it’s really overstaying its welcome. But I digress.) and the leaves are changing. And you all know what that means: It’s NaNoWriMo time again! I’m on the site as captain_hobbes, if you …

(personal/writing) A blissful, lazy Sunday

I don’t get many of these anymore. I slept late, had my shake for breakfast (for those who don’t know, I’m doing the Herbalife program right now, and it’s FABULOUS), and already folded a load of laundry while watching last night’s Ghost Adventures. Now, I’ve got a cup of tea, because it’s getting cool again, and …

(writing) More words!

So, um, yeah, I haven’t been writing. *sigh* Well, I am now! Not only am I working on a new book (titled Resonant Frequencies, and quite possibly the beginning of a world that I could write a few books in, if I wanted to), but I’m blogging now over at Dark Knights Paranormal! This is the …

(writing/personal) blowing the dust out of the corners

Good thing that it’s only electronic dust, because lord, there is a lot of it! I have been dealing with depression, family illness, and stress, so I haven’t been writing. Or blogging. Or really doing anything, to be honest. And I don’t know that the stress is going away soon, so I’m trying to pick …

(advent) Day 5 – The Wedding

It was raining when Drew woke up – just a light rain, almost a mist, really, but enough that everything was soft and faintly glowing. Molly had spent the night at her brother’s house with her part of the wedding party, although Schrodinger had opted to stay with Drew. I’m standing with you, he’d told …
