I made some improvements in Beginnings today. I jazzed the font for the cover text — hopefully others can read it. Is anyone familiar with Harlow Solid Italic or Viner Hand ITC? Rosina Lippi had to mention the need to ruthlessly cut prepositions today, so I became apprehensive. I slashed … Continue reading →
I had a brief opportunity to work on revising Beginnings this morning while waiting for the GE repairman to arrive and replace my refrigerator doors. It’s better now than it was when I got up this morning. I may have one or more rounds of revision before I finalize it … Continue reading →

No. National Novel Writing Month is still thriving. In this case, the 2G iPod nano my hubby found on the ground last Thanksgiving is giving up the ghost. It’s stuck on the Apple screen and emitting a high-pitched sound. I hope the battery dies before it either explodes or bursts … Continue reading →
There I was. Minding my own business. Reading the Friday 20 over at PBW’s place where she casually mentions she snuck off from writing to participate in a discussion over at Jordan Summer’s place.
