There's this story that's been bouncing around in my head for quite some time now, one that I've never even considered writing or even mentioning to anyone because I find the premise so ridiculous. But the longer I think about it the more I like the story, and that tortures me, because the premise isn't getting any less ridiculous.

It goes like this ( Read more... )

Blue moon
You knew just what I was there for
You heard me saying a prayer for
Someone I really could care for

And then there suddenly appeared before me
The only one my arms will ever hold
I heard somebody whisper please adore me
And when I looked to the moon it turned to goldFirst thought: Yeah right so you're praying for someone and then ' ( Read more... )

I don't know what it is with me writing about people that have physical disabilities. It just keeps happening. Half the time that doesn't even have anything to do with the plot ( Read more... )

The day has come, the day I never expected to see, where I actually went back to a story that I thought of a long time ago, and expanded it to the point that it's pretty much guaranteed to get posted.
Maybe there is hope for some of these other ones.

I've probably used that header before. Eh...

So, um, it's been almost a year since I posted. Which wouldn't be so bad because nobody cares how I keep a diary. The bad,bad thing is that in that year, I have posted exactly one (1) update to stardust, and that wasn't even a full chapter. And that's- my readership may have trickled away a bit, but not ( Read more... )

I bought Scrivener. Camp NaNo winners got a 50% off- code, so I went and looked and found that it's not actually that expensive to begin with. And then half off! So I totally bought it.

The tutorial is lengthy, but, because it's interactive and has you clicking around and doing stuff, it's easier to remember everything (compared to video tutorials ( Read more... )

"Only snippets missing", while technically true, turned into another thousand words. I have all of one paragraph missing now, one that I'm too tired and jetlagged to write right now, but the rest of the chapter is edited and ready to go. Down time too, now. So there's that.

So I re-read Stockholm again the other day -or at least parts of it- (and it wasn't quite as clunky and awkward as I remember it, which pleased me greatly) and I ended up thinking about how Ryo ends up getting away, more or less; living on the fringes under everyone's radar; and how helpless he would have been if Brennan had decided differently.

I had an idea that started out porn-y and ended up not so. It's a one-shot about someone, probably an alien, who was mistaken for a god centuries ago (that is, mistaken to be a god the humans were already worshipping) and people are sacrificed to him on a regular basis, which he's not a fan of but he can't seem to talk them out of it. So whenever ( Read more... )

I'm on vacation. For some reason I expected to be able to write 1600 words a day while touring Japan. Let's, uh, let's just say this is not the case.

I have changed my goal as follows: I want to get the next chapter of Stardust up and the following chapter finished (pre-edit) during Camp. The actual word count is going to be secondary. The thing ( Read more... )
