(personal/to-do/writing) Sunday is a recharge day.
Posted on May 6, 2012
Yesterday, I will admit, I did very little. I fed my parents’ cats. I wrote about 690 words on Forgotten. I signed up for Camp NaNoWriMo. And I watched the Red Sox lose again. *sigh* But today, I have more I want to do. Before we get into that, though, I wanted to let you …
(tgif) The day after…

No writing yesterday on Forgotten yesterday, but I wrote all the emails I needed to (now I just need to actually send them) and wrote the back cover copy for Spells, which I also need to email. By the time I got home yesterday, my hands hurt so badly that I took some muscle relaxants …
(personal/writing) Suck it up, buttercup (or the need to stop looking for excuses)
Posted on April 26, 2012
I haven’t posted much lately. I haven’t really been writing, either – I’ve been stupidly busy, but that’s not an excuse. I was listening to Nathan Lowell’s excellent #tommw podcast (http://www.nathanlowell.org/tommw/) and he talked recently about not making excuses for why he wasn’t writing – the fact that he had to stop doing that and …
(writing/personal) Turning over a new leaf
Posted on April 3, 2012
I’m trying to make myself a little more accountable lately. Hopefully, this time, the change will stick. Miles walked today: .87 (I walked 1.07 miles yesterday, so I’m not sure where I am. I’ll figure it out for tomorrow’s blog.) Morning Pages: Day 63 – I’ve done two full months, and I think it’s finally …
(updates/personal) Yep, still here. Not dead. At least, not yet.
Posted on March 15, 2012
I hate Daylight Savings time. Just sayin’. Also, I can’t update my website from work. Nor can I look at Pinterest anymore (dammit!) and I can’t read my G+ stream. I can post from my Google Reader to my G+ stream (don’t ask, our firewall is WEIRD) and I do have my phone, so …
(metrics) Apparently Val does not know how to add…

Starting Word Count: 6966 Ending Word Count: 7568 New Words: 602 Starting Lines: “That happened in the crash?” I wondered how fast she’d been going when she hit the tree. Ending Lines: It hadn’t been; Marguerite herself came out to apologize for the lack. “It usually comes around 9 am, but for some reason, it’s …
(metrics) Bloody ghosts and car crashes

Starting word count: 2326 Ending word count: 2903 New words: 577 Starting lines: He leaned on his cane, looking down at me, wry amusement and pain warring in his blue eyes. I didn’t recognize him, but he apparently recognized me. “Really, Sapph,” he continued, not bothering to extend a hand to me as I just …
(to-do/writing/personal) Sundays are days of rest. Really.
Posted on February 26, 2012
Even when you don’t get home until 3:30 am from a ghost investigation – it’s still a day of rest. A day to catch up on Once Upon a Time (my new favorite show, next to Castle and Bones), write, do laundry and dishes, and just renew myself. I really do like this new schedule …
(personal/writing/to-do) I’ve been quiet, but I’ve been busy
Posted on February 25, 2012
It’s been a busy week! Go live at my new job, writing busily on Forgotten, and starting to look for a house. Yes, we’re going to buy our first (and hopefully last!) home! It’s very scary, but fun. I’ve managed to write my daily pages every day this month (I’m going to do that …
