I just ran across an excellent (old) article on Backspace by Jenny Bent--a realistic take on the process of publishing for first-timers. Che...

Well, yesterday ended up being extremely sucky--but I kept my whining to my girlfriend group, and they propped me up again. (yes, they rock!...

I am back! As always when returning from vacation, there are mixed emotions. Vacations, while tons o' fun, are also a wee bit stressful ...

Well, today is strange because it's my last day pre-vacation, so of course I'm running around like a chicken with its head cut off (...

You know, it's a really good thing that I'm not trying to write to a market, because I would be driving myself insane. I'm in an...

I am now 85% done with editing TMT! Unfortunately the next scene needs a lot of sprucing...it's currently (ick) sappy. Remind me never t...

Ack. There was a complete kerfuffle at work today. People getting pissed off at other people, people throwing money at other people in a huf...

I'm almost to the super action hero bit of TMT, editing-wise. I'll bet you didn't know a 16-year-old medieval girl could be a su...

Apparently I called some nastiness down on myself yesterday with that fever crack. By the time I got home from work I had a fever of over 10...

I think I'm getting a cold. You know that very, very early bit of a cold, when your head feels like it's stuffed with cotton, when y...

So I asked what I should write about today, and Kreekie said "tension, how to keep it going without going overboard". My first tho...

Top Ten Highlights of My Weekend, in no particular order (a list that will never make David Letterman): 1. The cannoli I scarfed at Johnny C...

So far this has been a day of donuts and coffee, chatting and sun. A good day, and productive. I added more good words to TMT, and am now up...

Here's a pseudo-medieval joke for you, to start your Friday. More later after writing session! These friars were behind on their belfr...

Finished Isabel scene. Updated a critical motivation/emotional trauma scene in a good way. Now up over 93,500 words. I ended my writing sess...
