I’ve decided that a weekly round-up is a good idea, not only because it gives me a spot to post goals and toss thoughts around, but because I can be accountable to my readers. With NaNoWriMo just around the corner, being accountable is a good thing. No real to-do list for today, simply because I’m …

(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 9, 2011
So yesterday, I got three of the four things on my list done. AND I got 156 words written on the unnamed novella, and did my Morning Pages. Today, even though I slept until 11 am (sigh), I did my Morning Pages, and I’m feeling pretty good. Heading out in a bit to go to …
(writing/personal/to-do) Let me give you stars….
Posted on October 8, 2011
Yes, I’m listening to show tunes today. I’d forgotten how much I love to show tunes. I’ve been running so much this week that I ended up coming home early from work (a combination of exhaustion and eating something that didn’t agree with my system at the pot luck at work) and I was asleep …
(personal/writing/to-do) Waking up, mentally and physically
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 …
