2007-11-06T06:32:32Z

I'm sitting in a hotel in Budapest, looking at the Danube River and the Chain Bridge. FOR REAL!!!!!! OMGPONIES!!!!11!1!!! ahem. I haven't written since Nov. 3, so for three days, I have 3452. A good enough start. I'm not liking the voice so far...

QotD: Día de los Muertos

2007-11-01T13:55:22Z

Today begins Día de los Muertos. What are your rituals or occasions when you remember loved ones you have lost? This really bugs me. A lot. Offensively. This is NOT my holiday. I understand, respect and find the day and the traditions fascinat...

I was talking on the phone to a friend yesterday, and said that maybe instead of NaNoWriMo this year, I would devote the equivalent amt. of time to developing my website(s) and contract business. Here is why I absolutely adore her, why she is my ...

There will be more entries today. This is just the starting gun (for me). We survived Oct. 31, with only 3 lbs of candy. Heh. I downloaded Scrivener, with the 30 day free trial. *YES* should be perfect. And I'm looking for the little synopsis I ...

And so it goes

2007-10-29T23:35:11Z

Alright. So it's Riley. Now I need to just block out my week, and find time to get to 5,000 words before I land in Europe for my very busy week of work. I've always thought of the Navidad story as something that did NOT come from Riley's voice, ...

Noveling Is For Novelists

2007-10-28T00:03:11Z

Despite the egregious license taken with the NOUN "novel" by the folks at NaNoWriMo, I am going to participate in this event in a few days. Yes, I'm going overseas on business trip for a week smack in the middle, but I'm thinking of trans-Atlanti...

QotD: Take Two of These...

2007-10-22T11:34:33Z

What's your cure for the common cold? I head straight for the EmergenC and a good fresh batch of pesto. And if that doesn't do the trick, I continue with the garlic - fresh, crushed in olive oil mopped up with good bread.

Writing is the Thing

2007-05-19T16:18:22Z

Writing. I was just going to get back to my novel, when tragedy struck. Really. That is not a line from a novel, but maybe it should be. I'm leaving the city where my novel is set, so I am soaking up a lot of ambience and character from the stree...

IN my last post, which was far too long ago, I mentioned a Petri dish wherein some new wonderful good thing was growing. I can say with gladness and gratitude that it indeed has grown and is real. Here's the thing: * I am moving to Dallas, Texas...

Oddly

2007-02-21T07:11:34Z

It is rather strange that a plan is evolving wherein I'll have more time to write. Strange because it's actually growing in a Petri dish right now, never expecting it to be able to sustain viability outside the lab, but who knows? Frankenstein was...
