  • Worst. Birthday Gift. Ever.

    Apparently I have weird-shaped legs. Also I suck at picking out birthday gifts for myself.

  • A reminder to myself that forming good habits is always harder than I hope it will be

    The habit comes from me; the discipline comes from my own head — the part that’s not trying to constantly sabotage anything good in my life.

  • Every day, in every way…

    Often I need to hit a point that’s just below overwhelm to actually accomplish things; if I have too little to do, I procrastinate, and if I have too much, I escape from the stress by doing anything except what I’m supposed to.

  • 30 in 30: Day 05 (in which I rag upon Eragon so hard I make him bleed from inappropriate places)

    A book or series you hate Oh man. This one is almost too easy. (I say ‘almost’ because there is a book/series that I actually hate more than the one I’m writing about now…but as I haven’t actually been able to bring myself to read the whole thing, and as there’s a lot of virulent…

  • 30 Books in 30 Days: Day 01 (in which I vehemently bash Acorna’s bloated corpse)

    In the interest of whipping myself to blog more, I have stolen this meme from my friend Boudicca. I’ll try and do this within a month; of course I’ve chosen the worst month possible. But whatever; it should be fun. Oh, and these posts are going to count for my GYWO, as they are not…

  • That’s progress, I suppose

    I have not actually written any on The Jade Star of Athering since August 2nd. However, I have thought about writing on it, and even opened the notebook to the appropriate page so I can start typing up the handwritten chapters I have done so I can continue on, as I’ve reached that point where…

  • Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow creeps in this petty pace from day to day….

    2009 was a fairly productive year, writing-wise. I finished Bellica, started and finished Snowbound, and started The Jade Star of Athering. I also wrote a few poems, published a book of poetry, and reached a total of 156,732 for my yearly word count. I didn’t make my goal of 200,000, but I’m not too concerned…

  • Words, Words, Words

    I’m at 14,306 words in Nano, which is good considering how tired I’ve been this month (seriously — insomnia until 5am and then not being able to wake up till the late afternoon, and tired all the rest of the time but still not able to fall asleep = not. fun. at. all.). My Nano…

  • Writing hiatus

    I am taking a break from writing anything new until September 8th because I have to work on editing Snowbound, preparing for Dragon*Con, going to Dragon*Con, getting together a working props list for Dove In Death (a production that goes off the end of September), getting together my production stuff for Just Shoot Me (the…

  • Snowbound finished

    I have just finished (as in, today) my first short story, Snowbound, though it’s more of a novelette at 15,758 words, and added a really terrible synopsis on the “Finished Works” page. Needs an edit, and then I send it to the Writers of the Future Contest. But not till after DragonCon. No more writing…
