But by that, I mean one of those good days, when I wake up and all I can think about is the novel. I stretched, did my yoga, then curled up on my bed with my cereal and my tea and started to write. And write. And write some more. Last night my brain kicked […]
It’s Thursday tea time! I plan on getting there early to grab a table for four. Let me know if you think I need to get a bigger table. Hope to see ya’ll there! I will be working on chapter seven. I finished typing up chapter six on Tuesday. I didn’t write on Wednesday, but
I’m back from World Fantasy. I had such a good time. I saw a lot of wonderful people–made some new friends and reconnected with some old friends. I also drank a lot of scotch and didn’t get much sleep (at night — I napped both days I was there.) I got very inspired again for
Yay for a day off from the day job! Yay for being lazy all morning! Yay for writing all afternoon! Yay for crack night tonight! I finished chapter six today. Wrote about 3500 words today — 20 pages long hand. Chapter is 36 pages long hand total, which should be about 6500 words when typed
Because I am lame I forgot to post that I am going to Portland this weekend with the lovely schnaucl. Anyone around on Saturday night for dinner? We’re doing a pilgrimage to Powells and spending the night at a cute B&B. Today was a mostly good day, except for my massive allergy problems. I went

It’s SO NICE to have time again. I can’t even begin to express how happy it makes me. To have time to have a life again. We had wind storms this afternoon. And no power for probably close to 1 1/2 hours. Which is nothing, I know, compared to last year when people didn’t have
See — I know this. I know my process, myself. And yet — sometimes I forget, or don’t see it. Hence the subject line. On Thursday, I was having a few problems with the section I was typing up. I’d originally written it with the main character interacting with a second character because that would

I only did 1000 words tonight. I didn’t finish chapter four. I was tired and really not able to concentrate. I know, I know, excuses, excuses. I will do better next week. So I left Thursday tea early and came back home and played. I made lots of icons. They’re all sharable. Enjoy!
I finally figured out what was the problem with chapter four. I’ve been, for want of a better word, hasty. Which isn’t necessarily any better for a story than for ents. There are times when you need to go fast, getting from one point to the next. Where I was in the story was not
