T&T, Feb 18
A whopping 207 words. It was all I could do to sleep and read fiction today. I was pretty much useless for anything else. Not sure why I’m tired and achey, but I am. It will either go away or get worse.

T&T, Feb 17
Got a bit of a jumpstart tonight. I managed to get 826 words typed out, bringing me to 49,217 words. Cole made her first appearance tonight. She’s eleven now, and her dad gave her a notebook to record her thoughts in. If this continues, Cole’s voice will be in the … Continue reading →
T&T, Feb 14
Last night, I began the latest effort to get some writing done on Threads and Ties. I managed 361 words. Not great, but over time, that does add up, so I’m ok with that. Tonight, I scrawled out 348 words. Still not lighting the world on fire, but, it all … Continue reading →
Revisions to Page 105
I worked on revising Twilight this weekend. I’m up to page 105, but I haven’t tackled the scenes requiring lots of work yet. I have cut thousands of words of extraneous sex. It was fun to write, but when I found myself asking, “Why is this needed?” I didn’t have … Continue reading →
40-10
The Spurs are working to remain in first place in the conference. The Mavericks are giving them a run for their money. Bill Walton, commentating on today’s game, emphasized how well Rasho Nesterovic has been playing this year. When the Spurs re-signed Rasho this summer, I had my doubts, but … Continue reading →
Writing Divas
Here’s an opportunity for you. Check out the Writing Divas. As a great way to get to know them, they’re having a scavenger hunt contest with a lovely sounding gift basket as a prize. It seems like it’s geared toward women, but you guys, pay no attention to that. Check … Continue reading →
Ender’s Game
I’ve had Orson Scott Card‘s Ender’s Game in my TBR pile for a year and a half. Since I have the opportunity to have lunch with him next week, I dug down and read it. I was missing a darn good story–as is likely the case for numerous books in … Continue reading →
It’s Cheetah Time
I finished Lynn Viehl’s Way of the Cheetah last night. If you’re a writer, you can’t go wrong with the one-two punch Way of the Cheetah and Holly Lisle’s Create A Character Clinic provide. I’m off to a slow start in 2006. I’m slow in all areas of my life … Continue reading →
WordPress 2.0.1 Release
Just my experience: It doesn’t work. The upgrade.php file was looking for files that weren’t there. I reinstalled my 2.0 files and I think things are back to normal. Whew! That was an ugly, ugly forty minutes while I fought with that.

I completed my first look at the first 163 pages of Threads & Ties yesterday. Erin from FM graciously looked at my childbirth scene and told me how wrong I had it (never done that, and the Internet is only good for so much). I’ll have some things to fix … Continue reading →
