is very poor this week.  Health issues haven't exactly kept me from writing, but it has been really close.  I've gotten side tracked by a short story that I'm thinking of putting out as a freebie to celebrate Short Story Month, which just happens to be this month.  However, between the migraines and the weird sleep schedule changes, I haven't ( Read more... )

I don't ususally publish more than once in a day, but today, something caught my eye on one of the blogs I like to read.  This is about gender identity in children.  It asks the neatest question:  How old where you when you knew what your gender was?

I really hadn't thought of it ever really.  When did I know I was a girl?  I grew up with two much ( Read more... )

A close majority of my friends are saying, "Cool, Osama is dead."  A lot of my friends are asking, "How is Osama being dead change anything?"  A signficant portion also point out that celebrating death is never a good thing.

I say this to all.  Death has no meaning to the living.  It is a change in state that only makes sense after you have ( Read more... )

So today I was in the mall with my husband waiting for the FYE to open so he could do some trading and a return, and I had a moment I'm not proud of.  I'm fat, and I've come to accept it, and I'm fine with it, but I still had one of those moments today.  You know, where you look at someone else who is fat and think, "At least I don't look (or are ( Read more... )

So, right now, there is a lot of editing going on with some writing to straighten out the worse mistakes.  Promise Kept's sequel is slowly moving along, chapter by chapter.  In some cases, there are a lot of changes to be made, in others, not so much.  However, that particular wheel is grinding particularly fine.

So I decided to double book and did ( Read more... )

So, if you have the time, I need a little feedback.  I have changed the description for Promise Kept.  Currently, the changes are only at Smashwords, Amazon (if it has gone through yet), and goodreads.com.  If you have read my book and have the time to go over and check out the new description, I would love to hear your opinion.

Thanks

So I have a new laptop.  That is pretty much all of the new stuff for this week and the reason this status of the writing is late.  That and I'm trying to get back on a real sleep schedule.  I am currently still trying to get into Beloved Fire and get it done, but I think I need to change the working title, and get used to this new keyboard.  I'm ( Read more... )

So I finished the first pass on A sociopath in stasis.  I was suprised by how few typos there were.

• First pass on American cryptids meet zombie apocalypse.
• Another revision on the gay fantasy story.
• Pull from the trunk Megacorp novella/novel rewrite To Honor and Respect
• Rewrite Family at the End of the World  Foster
• First pass on Cakewalk

First, the edits on Don't Drink the Water are done for the moment.  I actually took a fair bit out of it, far more than I put in.  I was really surprised by how much I've learned.  It still isn't done yet, not by a long shot, but I've gotten all the big things fixed I think, except for the ending, but I need to add some conversation and fix some of ( Read more... )

Still doing a lot of editing.  I finally finished going through all of the different critiques for Don't Drink the Water.  Hopefully, in the next week I will have a new draft that will need a lot more work, but will be a much better story than the one I have right now ( Read more... )
