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
Rain Rain Go Away…
My husband and I are pretty big pluviophiles. We love rain and cold weather, and if it were feasible for us to move somewhere where there was more of both (I'm looking at you Washington) we would be there in a heartbeat. Unfortunately, after the severe drought we've had for the past couple of years, … Continue reading Rain Rain Go Away…
In the Blink of an Eye…
Exhaustion has a new name - Toddler bed. Boyo managed to escape his crib last week. Apparently he decided that he did NOT need a nap one day and demonstrated it by climbing out of the crib and run around his room. Let me tell you, there is nothing quite like hearing the movement monitor go off (which usually … Continue reading In the Blink of an Eye…
Just a Bump in the Road…
I wrote so much over the holidays that my carpal tunnel started to act up. It's been over seven years since it's bugged me. I honestly thought it would act up while I was in school, but I guess clicking through power point pages isn't the same thing as typing. Where and how I sit when … Continue reading Just a Bump in the Road…
A Little Light…
I wasn't sure I was going to post today. I confess that I spent the better part of last week in a post election funk - and then once I pulled myself out of it, I discovered my computer was having issues. It's constantly running at 100% on the C drive, I'm also unable to … Continue reading A Little Light…
Hit by the Plague…
I set a goal for myself to write 1,000 words a day on The Undying Ones last week. I am determined to get this story finished ASAP. You want to know how many I actually wrote though? Zero. I was hit by a cold right out of the starting gate, so when the Boyo was sleeping, I dosed … Continue reading Hit by the Plague…
It’s Lonely Up Here…
Earlier this summer I mentioned that there might be a strike at Hubby's work in a few months. The union contract is coming up, and so far negotiations between the union and the company are iffy at best. Let's just say there's been lots of drama that has made me nervous enough that I've started … Continue reading It’s Lonely Up Here…
