Two posts in one week. Wow, I might actually be getting into a groove or something. I’ve been doing a lot of thinking about writing lately. And streaks. And self-care. Shocking, I know, but bear with me, because it all ties in together. I’m still picking at the Advent story, but I’m paused as …

Starting the new project officially
Posted on May 7, 2017
Started the novel over again today, mostly by cutting some words I’d put in before. The net gain for the day is 303. Slowly but surely. Time to get to the grocery store and the pharmacy before I head home and work on some kumihimo and reading and getting ready for work tomorrow. Word Meter …
Writing and news
Posted on March 5, 2017
I’ve been thinking a lot about story, and life, and how our choices define us lately. I suppose it’s not surprising, given everything that’s happened lately. We’re coming up on the 1 year anniversary of my mother’s death, and I knew that was going to be hard. But I didn’t realize how hard it …
A week in review
Posted on January 18, 2017
Wednesdays are going to be my week in review, moving forward. It’s a good day to stop and take a look at the last week (Sunday through Saturday) and see what I’ve accomplished (or not accomplished). Last week, I was sick, so this week in review is not going to be as long …
(personal/writing) Writing in the wind
Posted on February 3, 2016
I’m currently sitting in a comfy chair in an infusion room at UMass Memorial Hospital in Worcester, with an IV in my arm, waiting for my next Remicade infusion. It’s raining outside, and as I’m on the 6th floor, I have a lovely view of the parking lot, and the rain. (Hey, at least it’s …
(writing) Ephiphanies
Posted on April 27, 2015
So, I had a headache earlier today. Well, I THOUGHT I had a headache. What I actually had was a novel trying to burst through my forehead, sort of like Athena coming through Zeus’ brain. Because once I started jotting notes down for this novel, the headache went away. And then, when I got …
(writing/personal) The first blog post of the new year
Posted on January 3, 2015
Happy New Year, everyone! Sorry I disappeared after the end of Advent – the holidays overwhelmed me, and I just couldn’t bring myself to write, never mind blog. But I hope everyone enjoyed this year’s Advent, and I promise, it’s not the last. For those who may not know (I know I have …
(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 …
(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 …
(metrics) Day 27, and more secrets
Posted on November 27, 2010
Secret project, that is. I’m having a lot of fun with it, and blew nearly through the first part tonight in about an hour. 30 minutes of writing, and over 1k! I really do well when I have the right mindset. And that’s what this 365 days of writing is all about, the right mindset. …
