(writing) A Christmas Gift for you – Chapter 1 of The Strange Disappearance of Santa Claus
Posted on December 24, 2011
Merry Christmas! The Christmas story I’d planned to post (the Starchild one) is growing into a novella (I know, shocking), so instead, I thought I’d give you a sneak peek at the first chapter of the Schrodinger novel. Yes, I’m still calling it The Strange Disappearance of Santa Claus – the concept is changing a …

Look what I have!!! I did it! I did it! 50,000 words in one month!!!! Now that the insanity of NaNoWriMo is over, I can actually like, do things other than writing again. What a weird feeling. I will NOT be doing an Advent story this year – sorry. This story was supposed to be …

Posted on November 15, 2011
The official NaNo counter says I’m at 15911 words, which is a bit over 9k of where I need to be. However, I’ve written over 4k today, so I’m happy, and if I can do that over the next few days, I should be able to catch up. Short post because my arm hurts. I …

(personal/to-do) Captain America, sewing and cooking – a fun Sunday
Posted on July 24, 2011
So, after breakfast with Maria, Xavier, KJ, Margaret and Laura, Argus and I went to see “Captain America” with KJ and Laura. OMG, fun! I loved it. I’m a huge comic book fan, and they really did Cap right, in my opinion. And yes, I cried. Even though I already knew the story. I cry …
(metrics) A night off recharges the soul
Posted on July 23, 2011
Took last night off to go to a free concert, during which I was introduced to a very good band – The Alternate Routes. Highly recommend them. And then we went to Strange Brew with them afterwards! It was very fun. There are pictures. Tonight, I got another 433 words done on the plot summary, …
