There’s a movie coming out soon, and it’s got a decent cast and lovely trailers and in general it seems like the sort of thing I might be interested in, in a broad sweeping general sense. Probably not something we’d go out of our way to see in the theater, but we rent $1 […]

I fell off the Wii wagon a few weeks back. In my own defense, there was that whole manuscript finishing thing I had going, but still. I haven’t exercised regularly in three weeks. Which is a bummer on several levels, among them the fact that all the good I was doing for […]

It’s done.
At least, done enough to send to my mentors. Which is pretty darn done.
Whee!

There are no longer essential chunks of manuscript missing from my novel. All the big gaps have been filled, and it feels lovely to be able to say that. There are, of course, several threads that I need to be sure are securely woven throughout the course of the story, but most of […]

The manuscript has become pretty much all-encompassing, except for when I shove it forcibly out of my mind. Most annoying is the fact that I think about it while I’m falling asleep–or rather, while I’m NOT falling asleep because I’m thinking about it. And when I do get to sleep, it’s not good […]

Have I really not posted since Tuesday? I blame Matt. And, you know, the manuscript. But mostly Matt.
See, he got his wisdom teeth out on Wednesday morning. Yes, yes, he’s a little old to be getting wisdom teeth pulled out. And no, things aren’t going badly–no excessive swelling, […]

Three scenes need to be finished/rewritten. Three scenes need to be written in the first place (I’ve known about them for quite some time). I need to go through my To Do list one more time and stick in bits and pieces here and there to make everything consistent and multi-dimensional. I […]

Life has been busy lately, but not distressingly so. Matt’s starting in on his third week of classes, and is right on schedule with moderate panic about being inept with the language he has to learn this term. I’m working consistently on the manuscript AND have managed to do the laundry on time […]

The fall theme I chose doesn’t let me display the links to my website pages other than the blog, which is problematic. I’ll see what I can come up with to fix it in a suitably autumnal fashion.
Also, for those of you who are keeping track, I’ve revised through 76% of the manuscript. […]

Since I’m thinking of autumnal things, I decided it was about time to change the blog theme, so enjoy the pretty fall design!
