PBW writes about an experience at the shipping place and titles it “Strange Fruit.” One of the commenters mentioned her “strange fruit” usually comes to her in dreams. This caught my attention. I’ve dreamt something at least three times that I can remember now, and it’s bizarre. I’ve dreamt of … Continue reading →
I had the six month follow-up on my knee today. It’s ok, but I’m not satisfied with it. The doctor says it’s about where he expects it to be. I asked to go back in June. The left knee took about ten months before it became mostly pain-free. I figure … Continue reading →
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.

I’m not so sure Comment Timeout was such a good idea. When I turned it off, it mostly crashed the blog — and it shouldn’t have done that. The place still appears to be reeling from something… Whoa. This feels strange. Where’s something solid to hold onto. Update added Jan … Continue reading →
While blog browsing last night, I found a new tool — Counterize II — at Writer’s Blog. I can’t imagine you’ll ever notice Counterize II. It’s a blog stats program. The most fascinating thing I learned off the bat? Someone in Washington DC hit this blog 92 times between 5-6 … Continue reading →
