My head is so stuffed full of information, it’s ready to burst. It was a good day, but a long one.
Train ride in was mediocre, as usual. I couldn’t stand the thought of being underground, so I decided to take the bus up Madison Avenue and then ( Read more... ) -

Today is Ink in My Coffee’s fourth anniversary! I can’t believe I have so much to say. I figured I’d blog for a few months and get sick of it, but discussing my process seems to help the writing, so . . .you’re all stuck with me for awhile longer. Seriously, it’s like ( Read more... ) -

A DAY, let me tell you . . .
Found out the publisher for the time travel novella thingy is shutting down, so one less deadline to worry about. I’ll probably still write it sometime, but at least I don’t have to do it right now.

Hop on over to Mystic Lit to read my second of three guest blog posts on research in one’s writing.
It’s pretty sad that, on Saturday, I was so sick and still more productive, writing-wise, than I’d been in about two weeks.

Happy Easter to those of you who celebrate it! May you have a family-filled day of joy and renewed hope.

33 degrees F out there this morning, and the scumbag landlords haven’t given us heat since sometime yesterday. Guess I’ll be spending the day with the Health Department, filing yet more paperwork.

The building noise was so bad yesterday that it was like having a dentist’s drill in my head for eight hours. I really thought I was going to lose what’s left of my mind.
