It's been a crazy crazy week this week. A lot of things are changing - some far more rapidly than we planned on - so to give you a quick run down of everything that is happening: A month ago, the Boyo was diagnosed as Autistic (which wasn't that big of a surprise, honestly...) The … Continue reading Dropping In…

Hot Commodity…
One of my good friends was in town this week. I can't remember if I mentioned this or not, but she's getting married next year, and she's asked me to be a bridesmaid. I've also agreed to sew the bridesmaid dresses. Thankfully she already knew what she wanted - so the last time she was … Continue reading Hot Commodity…
Bad Habits…
I've noticed that I have this... habit... when I'm working on a story. I get to a certain point - usually a cliffhanger - and I want edit it, package it up, and post it as part one of whatever. I think a lot of this is because when I first started writing, seriously writing, … Continue reading Bad Habits…
Always Something…
I meant to post last week, but between taking the Boyo in for an Autism evaluation, his normal therapy schedule, and meeting up with the local Regional Center for their every six month check in (basically they ask how we're doing, how therapy is going, etc, etc, etc), there just wasn't a lot of time … Continue reading Always Something…
A Little Late…
...thankfully it's not for an important date! (That was far funnier in my head... oh well...) Anywho, I'm going to keep this week's update short again. I'm sorry to do this two weeks in a row, but my toddler has been pulling this 'I don't need a nap' bit this week - even though it's clear … Continue reading A Little Late…
Well Crud…
Last week, while Boyo was getting over his ear infection, my dear husband got sick. We suspect it was due to him being temporarily on the day shift for a week - having his hours switched around probably mucked with his system, the stress of having to get up at o'dark thirty probably didn't help, … Continue reading Well Crud…
Shadow Man…
I've made more progress this week on The Undying Ones. I'm not back at 50,000 yet, but I've FINALLY reached the point of the story where the real fun begins. Not to say that the book isn't fun from the get go - it is - but the next couple of chapters are ones that … Continue reading Shadow Man…
The Mysterious Door…
The Boyo has an ear infection (apparently it is still possible to get them even if you have tubes in your ears) so life is a little chaotic right now while we deal with that. Normally his mood gets better once he get started on antibiotics, but this time around it's like his attitude is … Continue reading The Mysterious Door…
50,000
The Undying ones reached 50,000 words last night. 50,000 words. That means it's already novel length and it's not even half way done yet. It's amazing to me how this has grown from a short story that I started for a creative writing class over ten years ago. Now it's a full length novel that … Continue reading 50,000
A New Start…
Today is Ash Wednesday - which is the start of Lent and 46 days of fasting. While my husband and I are not Catholic (He's a member of the Four Square denomination of Christianity, while I come from a Southern Baptist background... a very reserved Southern Baptist background) but we decided to use March 1st as … Continue reading A New Start…
