Current NaNo wordcount: 5045 To be on Target: 5001 It’s not much of a cushion, but the fact that I’ve written 5k in the last three days is amazing to me, so I’ll enjoy it. I need to catch up a bit more with my outline, so I might not get a bunch done tomorrow, …

(to-do/health/personal/writing) The Plague, Day Six (I think)
Posted on October 22, 2011
Sadly, I’ve lost count. Ah well. Suffice to say I’m still a snot machine, but I’m mobile, I’ve done a bunch of running around already, and I’m determined to conquer both my house and my writing this weekend. I’m skipping the Strangeways Halloween party tonight (sorry folks, but you don’t want this plague, trust me) …
(to-do/personal/writing) Recovery, Day 2
Posted on October 20, 2011
Yep, came home with con crud despite my best intentions. It’s a good one too – knocked me for a loop this week, and I’m just feeling human today. Sort of. I’m going to take it easy and not do everything I was planning on, just so I don’t end up sick again. This means …

Posted on October 2, 2011
I WILL get back into blogging regularly. Although I suppose every Sunday is regular, right? Anyways, I will be posting more, once I get myself back onto an even keel. Things have been progressing, and progressing WELL, for once. I turned in Last Rites last week. Other than Spells and Swashbucklers, which I’m still working …

Nah, too cheesy a title. 😀 800 words tonight on Rebirth, which is my story for EalC. It’s coming along well, especially now that we have some EROTICA in the first part. Yeah, I know, I know. More tomorrow. Now, I need sleep.

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 …
(to-do) Batten down the hatches, boys, a storm’s coming through!
Posted on August 28, 2011
Yep, Tropical Storm Irene has finally wallowed her way up here to New England. Yay. She’s supposed to blow through by tonight – I can’t wait. My head can’t wait. *sigh* But I’ve been inactive pretty much all weekend, and although my head still hurts, I’m BORED. So today, I’m going to do what I …

Writers don’t sleep, didn’t you know that? 361 words on the new beast tonight. Erotica, and what’s the first line? “Beneath her, the city still burned.” Yep, it’s a Val story. To be fair, the setting is post-apocalyptic cityscape, so I can be forgiven burning cities. Right?
