buckle up, buckle down

February 12, 2009 – 12:05 am

I may be the only person who takes a vacation to write a novel.
To be fair, the damned thing’s about 80% finished already. Well, maybe 75%. The point is, I’ve got verbiage, people, and I’m not afraid to use it.
I started this book (not to be confused with the other three books which are [...]

na? no.

Someone should keep track of all my NaNoWriMo puns. Seriously. It would waste a good five minutes and give you something to do on a Saturday night which does not involve miserably hacking up bits of lung, which is what I’m doing. Oh, I know, waaaah. (Note to those who haven’t noticed yet: I get [...]

NaNo NaNo

October 31, 2008 – 11:03 pm

Happy NaNoWriMo, everyone! Yes, I’m doing it again this year. This is because I am a crazy person.
I’m ridiculously excited. I’ve got all my notes bookmarked, copied into Scrivener, or saved. I’ve got a reference book lurking just to the right of my bed (it’s a psychological thriller, this year’s novel, which is an [...]

and how might you be?

1. I posted a new video rant – scroll down if you’re on my site, or go see it on Viddler, [...]

these words don’t write themselves

January 28, 2008 – 11:55 am

Taking a break from the novel, seeing as I’m premenstrual and liable to begin using the delete key in a decidedly unhelpful manner. A long time ago I figured out that my creativity is cyclical, and trying to force it along is always, always a huge mistake.
Besides, I’ve got work projects [...]

classic creme cookies

January 25, 2008 – 10:15 pm

You know, I don’t like Oreos much, but these Back to Nature Classic Creme cookies? Dude, they are the bomb. Not So says they taste insufficiently Oreo-like, but I love them with the heat of a thousand suns.
I am eating some right now. In case you were wondering where that came from.
In other news, [...]

yawn

November 10, 2007 – 8:13 pm

I am full of tired. We just got back from a baby shower for one of Not So’s coworkers, which was a surprising amount of fun (I say ’surprising’ because I usually shrink in fear from social occasions which involve people I don’t know). Happy Fun Baby ran around with the other kids and had [...]
