It feels odd to post this here, but what the heck ( Read more... )

It was a good weekend. Friday night I went to see Dropkick Murphys with my best friend - always a good time.

Saturday was a maintenance day for me.  I slept late made my lunches for the week and did laundry.  Then I watched some hockey, I can say that was research, but I would be fibbing.

I wrote a little, but not much.

Part of me feels ( Read more... )

Wow I suck at keeping up with this thing. I wanted to do three posts a week but I’m not even managing three a month and I have to admit to feeling guilty about that but then again I wonder how people have time to keep up with things.
Then again people ask how I have time to work three jobs so I guess we all have things, right?

I had two days off in ( Read more... )

Well I didn’t get 50K in January, but my 15185 total is a good start on my 100,000 word goal for the year. I am having focus issues with writing. I’m not all that surprised. Jan is a very stressful month for me at work and I’m not focusing on creativity so much as getting through the work day without turning into a ball of goo.

My weight is down ( Read more... )

First off - I decided to work on the post civil war story. I’m moving fairly slowly because I haven’t gotten the world worked out yet - I’ve only managed a little less than 3K on it this week.

Most of my creative friends tell me that pain completely stops creativity for them. I have the opposite feeling about pain. It is a good thing I do, since I ( Read more... )

Happy Monday!

Well the 50k in 30 days didn’t go so well. I got 11 K done in a little over a week and then suddenly my brain wanted to write something else. This is part of why I don’t complete things that are more than 20K without a lot of starts and stops.

So now I have a paranormal hockey story based of the song Tam Lin that is sitting at around ( Read more... )

Well the new year is here and it is time to put my goals out there. It’s sort of odd doing this every year, I’ve never been one to set goals for each year, but for the past few years I have been. So here we go!

One hundred thousand words of creative writing this year: this goal has been flat for the past few years. I’d up it, but Real Life is always ( Read more... )

All my friends are writing novels and I am packing for my yearly trip to Equine Affair in West Springfield MA. I am really not looking forward to the show. I’m not in great physical shape right now. I don’t normally talk about pain, but there has been more of it than normal for the past two weeks. I can’t really ever tell when a flair is coming and ( Read more... )

I signed up for a mini-nano. The stated goal is 250 words a day. I know that the writers reading this blog are thinking something along the lines of ‘that’s it?’

But it is November and shooting low is the best I can do. I travel for work in November and when I travel for work I’m on the go from 7:30 am to about 11 pm, that doesn’t leave time for a ( Read more... )

I read quite a bit and I watch television.  I guess we all do.  But I have a problem; I can’t watch or read without being pulled out of the story by little things.

I work in a living history museum on the weekends, so sometimes even my favorite shows can drive me crazy.  Fantasy, historical and post-apocalyptic things are the ones most likely to ( Read more... )
