You know, I always laughed a little when I read blog posts from people who said they couldn’t post or they were shutting their blog down because they didn’t have time to keep it up. I thought, come on, how hard can it be to fit that in? Well sheesh, now I know. Work has [...]

I woke in a foul mood this morning, but it seems to have subsided so far so that’s good. This weekend was great writing-wise. After doing 1500 words on the novel Saturday, I rolled up my sleeves and did 2,000 on Sunday bringing the grand total back up 60,000 which makes me happy. Who knows [...]

I originally planned on writing about the crisis of faith I’ve been having in my ability to plot out the rest of the book I’m working on. But just thinking about it in the shower this morning and how to write about it was enough to get me off the ledge. So then I thought [...]

Becky and I had a date last night and went to see 27 DRESSES. It was a good movie, though not as amazing as Heigel’s last outing in KNOCKED UP. But it was fun and everything I expect from a romantic comedy. And scattered through were some very, very funny lines. And in an effort [...]

Becky and I had our wedding shower on Saturday. What a weird time that was at first. Lots of people from both sides of two families, many of whom have never met, playing weird games. Becky and I just watched an laughed (and my dad ate and watched TV hidden away) and then opened a [...]

Busy day at work today, good night of writing last night. I got 500 words done on the novel and was able to chip off another 150 or so on my new short story. I also switched it to 2nd person present tense. Normally I’m not a fan of gimmicky tenses like that, but it [...]

It sucks that I can’t write about my entire life here. When it was just me and I didn’t have much going on in my life it was easy to document everything here. But now that my life is encompassing more people and the events have broader family and social ramifications, I’m finding that I [...]

My new writing year is finally under way. I’ve got the revised outline shored up enough and the dead weight cut, and I added a bit over 500 new words to the mix. I also got down 128 words on the beginning of a new short story I’ve been thinking about that might be nice [...]

This weeks seems like it’s been going on forever. I can’t wait to get back to my regular schedule next week. And in a completely unrelated note: why do people buy vowels on Wheel of Fortune? I’ve never understood this strategy. I bet these are the same people who buy stuff they don’t need just [...]

It was 8 degrees last week. Why is it now almost 60? I hate this state. All of the pretty snow is melted away and my sinuses are in full rebellion. This whole week I’ve got to get up earlier and be in here a half hour earlier than normal. And my normal shift is [...]
