Words
It’s a small thing, but I committed a small scene to pixels this morning for Threads & Ties. First time since October… A word here. A word there. Before you know it, there’s the whole darn novel.
Continue reading →Tasha Update
For anyone wondering, Tasha is doing very well. She detests taking her pill, but most importantly, she doesn’t seem hold a grudge for me having to give it to her yet. She’s back to shadowing me around the house, helping me type, and purring up a storm. I haven’t heard … Continue reading →
WP 2.0.7
If the blog was offline for a little while earlier tonight, I was in the middle of upgrading to WordPress 2.0.7, which seems to have gone well.
Continue reading →Sick Kitty
Natasha has had a chronic cough that I noticed about two weeks after I got her back in November 2005. Hubby thought it might be hair balls — but she never coughed anything up. I’ve noticed her sounding congested sometimes. There was nothing I could put my finger on — … Continue reading →
Writing Update
Yeah. Writing. I haven’t said much about it lately, but I have been working through the One-Pass Revision of 30 Days to Regularity. I finished the pass this morning.

Has anyone else noticed a new trend in comment spam? “StenXXXX” makes a comment where the only links are in the identifying data for the post. The body of the comment is some variation of “Life’s not worth living.” Since I personally scan my Akismet-identified comment spam looking for legit … Continue reading →
The Work
PBW talks about what a writer owes her readers — if anything. Steve wonders what should be included or left out of adult fiction — and asks how to tell. I’ve been working around the house, reading around the blogosphere, and wondering what on earth I might have to say … Continue reading →
Disclosure
Heavy sigh. PBW posted about Disclosure and what the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has recently decided regarding Word of Mouth Advertising * (from a Washington Post article — may require free registration to access). Just in case anyone is wondering, I make no money, directly or indirectly from this blog. … Continue reading →
