(advent) December 4 – The point where you guys will either love this – or hate it.

Today’s entry is a worrying one for me.  Why?  Because I’m changing the story.  Well, not the story, per se.  But the feel of the story.  And I worry that you guys, the ones who adored the first one, won’t like it. Note that doesn’t mean that I haven’t written it.  I have.  And I’m …

(advent) December 3 – Things are getting interesting!

And yes, that IS all I’ll say. <><><><><> “Anybody got a cup of tea for a lonely, parched soul?” Schrodinger’s ears perked up as the sound of Lai Zhao’s voice floated through CrossWinds Books. The early evening had been quiet – it was still early enough in the season that folks were going home rather …

(advent) – December 2nd, a little late in the day

I don’t even have my Christmas tree up.  But I went ghost-hunting last night and house-hunting today, and so I’m a little behind.  Story of my life. But!  Here we go!  Day 2! <><><><><><><> “Saint Michael’s Church, Father Christopher speaking.” The priest’s deep voice rumbled through the speaker, easily heard even over the occasional static, …

(advent) Saturday, December 1 – a new Schrodinger/Molly story!

Yes, I know, it’s after 2 pm, but it’s still the 1st!  I woke up with a lovely gluten hangover, and had to go right out and go to my nutritionist’s appointment.  I came home and crashed again, but I have too much to do today to sleep all day (with the snow falling, it’s …

Cyber Monday – and we have TWO anthologies available!

Yes, TWO!  How exciting!  And they can be yours, for very little money! The first is the FM anthology – A Princess, A Boatman and A Lizard, which has my original story “Convoy” in it, along with some other fantastic stories.  All proceeds go to help keep Forward Motion running, and since I don’t think …

Starting the marathon…

This weekend, with the exception of Sunday, when I have Curia and then my Dad’s birthday, all I am doing is writing.  I’m up to 12k on NaNo, but I’m so far behind, and I have to catch up! I’m having issues this year, because I’m writing without an outline.  I know where I want …

“So that’s your everyday coronet?”

Passed 11k on the new Schrodinger story today, and I hope it continues to be as fun as I think it is!  I’m now officially out of outline (eek!) so we’ll see.  I have nothing planned for Saturday but hanging out with Kate and Brian and writing.  So hopefully I can crank out oh, I …

NaNoWriMo update

I am still doing NaNo, and I’m going to be doing daily updates from now on.  Today, my total stands at 8363 words – I’m about 14k behind, but I’m trying to catch up.  I refuse to give up! I also received my edits for Last Rites this past weekend, so I have to start working …

Sunday is a recovery day, right?

The investigation was…interesting.  Enough said.  Today, it’s a grey, cold day, but thanks to the Cooks’ Guild, my house smells like baking bread.  They made rolls.  It smells lovely.  I might have to make bread later this week. Today, however, I need to write.  I have just opened a new Scrivener file for the Advent …

Dealing with the sick

I hate colds.  I hate colds with a fiery, cottony passion that matches the gunk in my head.  Bleah. Other than that, life is progressing.  I passed “Convoy” in and am starting work today on the new Advent story outline.  That’s my NaNo project, so I want to get it done (the outline, that is).  …
