Yesterday, I hit Level 3 in the Magic Spreadsheet. This means that my new word count goal for the day is 350 words, and that I am chugging along. The first Pendragon novella is at a little over 14k, and is coming along nicely. I’m thinking it will probably top out at 25k, which is …

(personal/writing/cooking) We made it back to work!
Posted on May 21, 2013
Started back at work yesterday (part-time, for the next two weeks) and am not falling over exhausted today. Counting that as a win! I go in today and tomorrow for 4 hours each, then am off until Tuesday, when we start again. I think the fact that I’m eating cleaner (we’ve adopted a Paleo …
(writing) A taste of what I’m working on…

I realized it’s been a while since you guys had a snippet of the new stuff. So here’s a bit of the Pendragon Casefiles #1, which is the ghost story novella I’m writing. Mac and Javy are two police detectives, and the others – well, they’ll introduce themselves. Enjoy! “What is going on?” …
(writing) We’ve crossed the 40k mark
Posted on May 16, 2013
That’s right. In 2013 so far, I have written over 40,000 words. That’s amazing. That’s almost a NaNo novel. It might be more than I wrote in total last year. And it’s only halfway through May. I’m seriously impressed. And the big thing is that I’m doing it steadily, a little at a …
(personal/writing) Getting back into the swing of things
Posted on May 14, 2013
I’ve been writing again. In fact, my new streak is at 8 days and counting. It feels good to write again, like I’ve found the right thing that I need to be doing. I used to wish I was one of those authors who could have two or more projects going at once, because …
(writing/personal) The doctors’ appointments are done.

I’ve seen the last one today, and gotten the okay for my treatment plan. Now, it’s just a matter of time, and healing. Healing in more than just sleeping and eating right. Healing in accepting that I can’t do everything. That I’m not 22 years old and invincible. That I can live with no …
(personal/update/writing) I really don’t do this blogging thing well, do I?
Posted on April 21, 2013
I’m trying, I really am. I need to get myself on a schedule again, where I settle in to write before work, so it’s done. I also need to start working on more blog posts. I just feel like I don’t know quite what to say, so blogging feels – I dunno. Self-aggrandizing. Ah well, …
(writing) 36 days and counting!
Posted on March 20, 2013
311 words tonight. Not easy words – work is crushing me lately, and so I’m working on keeping things in perspective. Not a long post, but a post. Gotta start thinking about my NaNo story. In other news, “Stranded” is “Fear” for a new generation.
