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. […]

It’s cold outside today. No, not just “I might wear capris instead of shorts” cold, 53 degrees cold. That’s like. . . 30 degrees colder than yesterday. And I have to say, I love Colorado. You just never know what you’re going to get.
Also, the jeans I was so […]

63% done with the general revisions/edits stuff. One read-through of chapters 10-22 out loud, and I’ll be moving on to the tail end of the book, and hopefully working through it fast.
Read the rest of w00t!
Aside from one scene that I still can’t find the right way to end, I’m functionally 60% done with the novel revisions. . . maybe a touch more. The numbers are misleading this time around (if you’ll note, I was 48% done on August 5th) since I figure the percentages based on word count, […]
Read the rest of Novel Progress
It’s been a rough week in terms of writing, and I’m not sure why. “Frustrated” and “overwhelmed” aren’t the adjectives I’d really like to use to describe my mindset a month before The Last Deadline, but that’s been the deal so far this week. I haven’t been idle, though. The house is […]
Read the rest of The State of the Novel
Manuscript progress is at 48%. Woohoo! I intend to work on bits and pieces this week, just to keep my toes wet, but most of my time will be taken up by WorldCon/Denvention. Loads of fun! I’ll try to remember to take pictures.
Have I mentioned that one of Shiloh’s […]
Read the rest of I’ll Be Quiet For A While
I started off the day getting an oil change and all the other check the car stuff that seems wise before a cross-country driving escapade. Then I proceeded to the coffee house, where I occupied their lovely leather couch (very comfy), ate a piece of blueberry coffee cake about half the size of my […]
Read the rest of The Rewards of Diligence
Do you ever put something off because you think it’s going to be harder than you want to deal with right now? Do you ever feel ridiculous because you know it’s not going to get easier the longer you put it off? Are you a master of procrastination and the inevitable guilt that follows because […]
Read the rest of Confession
Pages for my July deadline have been sent off, but that doesn’t mean the pressure’s off. Lots to do, not much work time this month, especially if I want to catch up and get ahead in my schedule for edits.
Since I’m not much fun today, here’s a photo of Shiloh:
Read the rest of Deadline Met
Deadline work continues. I really dislike rewriting scenes. Some edits are quick and easy, and others are rather like slogging through knee-deep mud with two feet of water on top of that. I’m currently working through a section of the latter, which means I suspect I’ll be turning in ten chapters instead […]
