Lazy Sundays haven’t been cold lately, but they are today. Luckily, I have a wood stove and lots of wood, along with two cats who are willing to keep me warm with snuggles. Sadly, I have to go home later today. Which means going out in the cold! There’s a to-do list, of course. It …

(writing/letters/update) Day two of the month – on track!
Posted on February 2, 2012
Lots done today! 750 words – check. Letter sent – check (to my adorable niece!) Words on Forgotten – 1003 (made up for yesterday, so still on track for the month.) Court report sent in to Brigantia – check. Email updated – check. Going to fall into bed now – check.
(personal/to-do) Three day weekends rock!
Posted on January 15, 2012
I love three-day weekends, because I can do something Saturday, and Sunday just relax, then do more stuff on Monday and still not stress. Yesterday was my writer’s group, and I got some really good feedback on my stuff. More on that later. But today, as it’s so freaking cold out, I’m going to snuggle …
(goals/recap) In with the new, out with the old
Posted on January 2, 2012
2012 is here. 2011 has left. While it wasn’t as bad a year for me as it was for some of my friends, I’m not sorry to see it go. It’s a new year, and that means a chance to look at what I’ve done in the past year, and what will be happening in …
(to-do) It’s a Busy Sunday!
Posted on December 18, 2011
It is indeed, and I want to make sure that I know what it is I need to do. Lots of baking, and cleaning, and cooking and stuff! Also, writing and formatting (although that will be later tonight, when I’m on the big computer.) So, I’m doing a list here to make sure that I …
(writing/health) Exercise your body, not just your pen
Posted on December 15, 2011
Following up on Tuesday’s post about sick days – the other side of that coin is that writers tend to be hard on their bodies. Sadly, the image of Hemingway or Capote drunk and spinning brilliance out of the bottle is a romantic myth that our profession can’t seem to shake. And it’s an old …
Turning over a new leaf (aka, changes coming to this blog)
Posted on December 1, 2011
I’m always in awe of authors like John Scalzi or Jay Lake who blog every day. I totally want to be like them, except I’m realizing two things (besides the fact that they’re way more popular and successful than I am – I know that already): 1. I don’t know that I have something to …
(personal/writing/to-do) Deciding to take Sunday off
Posted on November 20, 2011
Well, in the sense that I’m not going to Williamsfaire. I feel like I SHOULD, but you know what? I need to do laundry, I need to cook for the week, and I need to keep writing. And I wasn’t going to really do anything at Williamsfaire anyways, other than write. So I feel better …
(personal/metrics) Finally, a day off!
Posted on November 19, 2011
It was weird, working this Thursday. Sigh, guess I’ll have to get used to it! I’m enjoying being home to eat with hubby, though, even if it IS hard to get up at 6:30 am every morning. Today is a writing/cooking/cleaning day. I’ve already gotten 12 kittens’ worth of words (1200 words, for those not …
(personal/updates) The Weekly Round-up for Sunday and NaNoWriMo thoughts
Posted on October 30, 2011
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 …
