It’s been a long week. I seem to be saying that a lot lately. I think it’s because it’s the end of winter – I’m so tired of the cold, and the snow, and the cold, and did I mention the cold? I hate being cold. I’d so much rather be hot than cold. And …

(writing) An update, only a little late
Posted on September 27, 2013
This week has not been good to most of my life, I’ll be honest. I’m in the last week before my Remicade treatment, the weather is playing havoc with my allergies, and it seems like every one around me is sick at work. The upshot? A migraine. Yeah, a migraine. But despite that, I’m …
(writing) Not only an update, but musings
Posted on September 20, 2013
I’m still writing. As of today, I’ll have written for 138 days in a row. I haven’t missed a day, not even through Harper’s Retreat, or the ick that I was sick with, or anything else. I still wrote, even if it was only 250 words I still wrote. I showed up to the …
(personal/to-do/writing) Sunday is a recharge day.
Posted on May 6, 2012
Yesterday, I will admit, I did very little. I fed my parents’ cats. I wrote about 690 words on Forgotten. I signed up for Camp NaNoWriMo. And I watched the Red Sox lose again. *sigh* But today, I have more I want to do. Before we get into that, though, I wanted to let you …
(personal/writing) Suck it up, buttercup (or the need to stop looking for excuses)
Posted on April 26, 2012
I haven’t posted much lately. I haven’t really been writing, either – I’ve been stupidly busy, but that’s not an excuse. I was listening to Nathan Lowell’s excellent #tommw podcast (http://www.nathanlowell.org/tommw/) and he talked recently about not making excuses for why he wasn’t writing – the fact that he had to stop doing that and …
(updates/personal) Yep, still here. Not dead. At least, not yet.
Posted on March 15, 2012
I hate Daylight Savings time. Just sayin’. Also, I can’t update my website from work. Nor can I look at Pinterest anymore (dammit!) and I can’t read my G+ stream. I can post from my Google Reader to my G+ stream (don’t ask, our firewall is WEIRD) and I do have my phone, so …
(writing/personal) Realizing certain truths that we know to be self-evident…
Posted on September 10, 2011
I have had an ephiphany. I have these once in a while, and while I’ve heard they are supposed to be wonderfully uplifting and illuminating, mine tend to be more of the clue-by-four to the forehead kind. And this really was. It was the result of several conversations from the past few weeks, and the …
