Yes, for real. I may have said this before, but now I’m beginning Twilight‘s One-Pass Revision. I’m starting on the third scene now, which requires a rewrite from an entirely different character’s POV. The first two scenes have been marked up beyond belief, and they were both solid — so … Continue reading →
Leave it to xkcd to point out the futility or the brilliance of using the object being taught to present the lesson. What do you think? Does this make it easier for you to use a flow chart, or did you really have to know how to use it to … Continue reading →
I thought I lost a cat. I hadn’t seen Pericles since sometime last night. When I didn’t seem him this morning, I got concerned. Had he inadvertently gotten closed in a room? I searched the house, checking closets and rooms I’d gone into even briefly last night — just in … Continue reading →
Yesterday, it gave me a Wii Fit Age of 58. OK. I did poorly on the two balance tests. I wasn’t surprised. Today? I aced the walk test — perfect 50/50 balance (like that will ever happen again in this lifetime) AND another personal best balance score. I muttered to … Continue reading →
I just installed WordPress 2.7 on my primary blog (this one). It takes a little getting used to, but, generally, I think I like the new back end interface. I like the QuickPress feature, but it appears I can only add Tags from there (which I haven’t begun using yet) … Continue reading →

It wasn’t pretty. My Center of Balance was horrible. I was so bad, it made me practice after measuring, and it felt strange. I’d never had to practice Center of Balance before — I didn’t know it had that capability, but it does. I went on to do fifteen … Continue reading →
For years, I’ve encouraged others to become familiar with the U. S. Constitution while fully intending to become more familiar with it myself. Sure. I’d studied it in high school and college government classes, but that was, ahem, many, many years ago. I needed a refresher. I’m doing that now. … Continue reading →
NaNo win number six is in the bag. This book needs lots of work, but I plan to shift to something I believe is more salvageable: Twilight. Then Threads and Ties and Polar Bear on the Loose need work. Following that, I plan to work on Ice’s World, the second … Continue reading →
Still on track to finish by the 30th. Sooner would be nice… I’m powering down now to begin the trek to San Antonio. I should be working from there for about a week, then I’ll be back up here to work inside on household stuff and getting a good handle … Continue reading →
