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 …

Blessed Beltane to you all!
It’s a wet Beltane, but that’s a good thing – we need the rain, and it smells green and growing outside. I spent my Beltane at the hospital, getting a Remicade treatment, and I slept through it. I’m so tired! But so much has happened in the past week, I’m not surprised! I’m now officially a …
(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)
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
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.
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.
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/to-do/writing) Lazy Sundays are cold.
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!
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!
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 …
