I WILL get back into blogging regularly. Although I suppose every Sunday is regular, right? Anyways, I will be posting more, once I get myself back onto an even keel. Things have been progressing, and progressing WELL, for once. I turned in Last Rites last week. Other than Spells and Swashbucklers, which I’m still working …

(personal/to-do) Domestic Goddess Sunday
Posted on September 25, 2011
Ah, autumn. Where the days get shorter, the nights get colder, the apples are crisp and Val, sadly, starts to get a bit cranky, because while fall is beautiful, she hates winter and knows it’s just around the corner. It gets harder to get up in the morning, and the cats don’t help, because despite …
(writing/personal) Realizing certain truths that we know to be self-evident…
Posted on September 10, 2011
I have had an ephiphany. I have these once in a while, and while I’ve heard they are supposed to be wonderfully uplifting and illuminating, mine tend to be more of the clue-by-four to the forehead kind. And this really was. It was the result of several conversations from the past few weeks, and the …
(personal/to-do) Getting ready for Harper’s
Posted on September 1, 2011
Oh, I have so much to do! And it’s already 6:30 pm on Thursday! And I have to work tomorrow! *flail* Okay, now that I have that out of my system, here’s the list of stuff to do tonight/tomorrow morning: – Cook chicken for Saturday – Cook steak for Saturday – Cut veggies for Saturday …
(to-do) Batten down the hatches, boys, a storm’s coming through!
Posted on August 28, 2011
Yep, Tropical Storm Irene has finally wallowed her way up here to New England. Yay. She’s supposed to blow through by tonight – I can’t wait. My head can’t wait. *sigh* But I’ve been inactive pretty much all weekend, and although my head still hurts, I’m BORED. So today, I’m going to do what I …
(writing) Craft stuff, creativity and editing
Posted on August 18, 2011
It’s been a good day. I’m tired, but it’s still been a good day. I didn’t get stuff done in the house (guilt) but I did get stuff down out of the house. Got the shopping for this weekend done, got the Pumpkin’s birthday present, swam a mile and saw my nutritionist. Tonight, since he’s …
(to-do) The last day of vacation
Posted on August 14, 2011
Sigh. It’s a sad, sad day, the last day of vacation. But I’ve had a wonderful vacation. I finished the plot summary for the Sapph novella (which needs a title) and started writing the first draft. I went to Pennsic and relaxed with friends and my wonderful hubby. Now, I’m home, dealing with my CSA …
(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, …
(update) The state of the Val, writing, and other stuff
Posted on July 15, 2011
So, I haven’t really been posting much. Part of it is because I managed to lock myself out of my WordPress account for a week or so, and I couldn’t grab enough time to reset it. (That has been sorted out, and I even managed to update to the latest edition without issue! I’m convinced …
