  • Happy New Year! (First Post of 2009)

    And, because I hate myself, I’m doing getyourwordsout   this year. I’m pledging 200K words. That’s just under 17K a month. Can I do it? Oh yes. I think I can.   By which I mean I MUST BE FRIGGIN INSANE.  Actually, though, when I looked over my word count goals that I’d set for this year ANYway, I realized…

  • New writing blog

     This one I keep, for now, as my author blog. But my actual writing can be found at Muerta's Tears (note it is no longer at LJ).  Needed a change.

  • New and Exciting Forms of Procrastination

    1. Sleeping all day.  2. Reading again. Currently reading The Love of a Good Woman by Alice Munro (collection of short stories) and As Francesca by Martha Baer, a BDSM-y novel I’m enjoying quite a bit.  3. Dinner at 3 am!  4. A multitude of sites.  5. Posting in my LJ instead of writing.  6.…

    YES WE CAN!

  • Incredible and exciting and wonderful and thrilling
