I tried to spend time with Mel last night. He was sporting long hair, a blue face, and a kilt. It was such a good look for him, how could I resist? Unfortunately, it’d been a really long day, and I was having trouble keeping my eyes open. I said goodnight […]

This weekend wasn’t as productive for me as last weekend was, but I still got a lot done. Finished one website, started another. I also got some more work done on that crit, although it’s not finished yet. However, it’s close enough that I can comfortably predict I’ll have it finished today.
Friday […]

Since Sunday is music day, I thought I’d start off by letting you know (just in case you’re interested) the CDs shuffling in my truck have changed. Which also means the music clips available in the far right sidebar have also changed. Give a listen if you get a chance!
Also music-related…I just read […]

This week’s topic on one of the mailing lists I subsribe to is Conflict. Since I’ve never blogged about conflict before, I figured it was about darn time.
Plus, I needed a writing post for what’s supposed to be a writing-related blog. :mrgreen:
Conflict is the thing that springs from our characters, and it’s […]

Didn’t get much of anything done on my own writing last night, but I did get some tweaks done to my friend’s website, and I got some good critting in. As far as the day went, I’m pleased.
I’m hoping to do some more critting today — maybe even finish. That’d be […]

Okay, so I thought yesterday would be my day to make rippin’ progress on my writing, since the kids were finally back in school and I could return to my nice little schedule. Well, my stress levels were way down, but no progress was made. What is it they say about the best […]

I’ve mentioned that we’re in the process of buying a house (closing in a little over a week :eek:). After SoundGuy brought up packing last night (resulting in a conversation that had the word “you” coming out of his mouth more frequently than I liked), I started thinking more about the house, and the […]

I actually had a productive weekend.
That sounded like I’m surprised, didn’t it? Well, I guess I am. I normally don’t do much writing-wise on the weekends — and since this was a 5-day weekend for the kids, I expected to accomplish exactly nil. Nada. The big goose egg. […]

There was a major drive failure at my webhost this morning. If you’ve tried to reach the site today and got a 404 error. I apologize. Looks like it’s back up, though, although they did the restore as of Friday evening. I’ve reposted Saturday and Sunday’s posts — they appear […]

We went to Wal-Mart yesterday. As we were leaving, we spotted my old truck (Lorelai) in the parking lot. It was weird. LittleDude recognized it first, then pointed it out to SoundGuy. SoundGuy recognized it by the tires (just like a man, eh?). I recognized it by a small group […]

I apologize for not visiting your blogs. You know how I’ve talked about schedules in the past? Well now, mine’s gone completely wonky. The kids are out of school — got a five-day weekend. Must be nice, right? Except I can barely think when my kids are running around screaming […]

Tanya had a wonderful blog post yesterday about themes. About how most writers have one universal theme that shows up in all their stories, and how it often stems from the writer’s own unresolved issues. Coincidentally (or not), I learned this same thing in one of the workshops I attended at last year’s […]

Since my life seems to have no structure lately, why should today’s blog post? Therefore, I hereby dub this day Wayward Wednesday with an entry that follows no rhyme or reason. Items have been added as I’ve thought of them. Don’t try to make sense out of the order. It’ll only […]
