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 …

(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 …
(to-do/personal/writing) Busy, busy, busy
Posted on March 25, 2012
I’ve been so freaking busy the past three weeks, I don’t know if I’m coming or going. No time to blog, no time to really write (although I’ve done my morning pages faithfully every day – 53 days in a row and counting!), and no real time to myself. That needs to change – I’m …
(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 …
(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 …
(writing) Just keep swimming…
Posted on January 11, 2012
I’ve just successfully completed Day 11 of the challenge over at www.750words.com – basically, it’s a month-long challenge of writing 750 words or more. I use the site for my morning pages – not really to write, but to brain dump for that day, before I actually begin my writing. It’s a practice that I’ve …
(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 …
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 …
(writing/personal/to-do) Let me give you stars….
Posted on October 8, 2011
Yes, I’m listening to show tunes today. I’d forgotten how much I love to show tunes. I’ve been running so much this week that I ended up coming home early from work (a combination of exhaustion and eating something that didn’t agree with my system at the pot luck at work) and I was asleep …
(personal/writing/to-do) Waking up, mentally and physically
Posted on October 2, 2011
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 …
