Friday, December 4 “I knew it. I knew this snow would screw everything up.” Mal laughed, somehow managing not to drop the ever-present cigarette from his mouth in the process. “Welcome to winter in Maine,” he said, deliberately exaggerating the Yankee accent. “What did you think was going to happen, flatlander? Rain?” “It’s happened before,” …

(Advent) December 3
Posted on December 3, 2015
Thursday, December 3 “Do you need anything else, before I go?” Drew waited patiently while Molly frowned, first at him, then at the front yard. It had snowed the night before, and everything was made new, covered in fluffy white flakes. He’d already run the small plow that they’d bought the year before, so the …
(Advent) December 2
Posted on December 2, 2015
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!
Posted on December 1, 2015
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
Posted on November 29, 2015
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!
Posted on October 26, 2015
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.
Posted on October 11, 2015
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!
Posted on September 30, 2015
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
Posted on September 20, 2015
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!
Posted on September 16, 2015
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 …
