No, that wasn’t one of my typographical faux pas. I’ve spent the last half hour trying to find that word. I’m back at home now, and it is supposed to be raining, according to this morning’s forecast. It’s not. It’s just incredibly humid, and I just went for my walk, or at least half of… Read More Nekdify
My thoughts haven’t graced this space for several days. As I have mentioned, I was participating in NaNoWriMo, which ended on Thursday. I came up short of my 50,000 word goal for the month, adding to Survivor Guilt, which now sits at 78,322 and shows no signs of approaching an ending. I’ve been remiss about… Read More Woman, Superwoman
I’ve been mostly incommunicado this week. I’ve been writing, did my interview, and eating, of course. My interview was, well, meh. For it to be worth taking the job, I will need to teach a certain number of credit hours, and it turns out that the course that had the most credit-weight was on Tues/Thurs… Read More Turkey Trot
There are some photos that just grab me. This is one of them. It is one of a set of four by this photographer. I finally posted the next chapter of Survival Guilt today. I’ve been writing, but the chapters are getting longer. The photo was nothing like what I was looking for, but I… Read More Photogenia
I have taken advantage of the holiday today. I slept in for a little while. I have shoulder issues, and if I sleep too much on my sides, they ache. I shouldn’t sleep on my back either, or I snore like a truck. No sense waking up the neighborhood. First call of port was the… Read More Off Message
I was talking with someone about my blog yesterday and divulged my identity to that person. That is something I rarely do. Only a handful of people know who the real me is, and some aren’t on WordPress. That made me think about what is up here and sheer volume of work (possibly a million… Read More What was old becomes new again
I have discussed the alternative meaning for sequel, the one in which the protagonist contemplates the events that just happened. That is where I am at now. Today is the day after Damocles Sword fell. I have to look forwards now, not back. Revenge is not productive, nor is it really an option. What good… Read More Sequel
I don’t have much time to write, but I posted the next chapter in FA today. After I edited it, I reread that last one that I wrote. I have been struggling with what to do next. I wanted to go big, but I may have already gone too big, not only with the event,… Read More Sometimes you stumble into an ending
I’m breaking things up a bit. I normally write near the end of the day, just before dinner. Today, however, I have about a half hour to kill in the morning. I just ate breakfast, and decided (like yesterday) to do my run in the morning. Today its a high intensity, low impact hour on… Read More Turn the Beat Around
I just deleted the business end of a sex scene. That’s unthinkable for me. I rarely shy away from the hard stuff. I mean, I don’t overshare. Certain words are triggers for me. Unnecessary crudity throws me out of the narrative when others write it. Why should I subject my readers to what I wouldn’t… Read More Unthinkable
