All three acts in Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog are up and today is the last day to watch it free! It’s fantastic–my daughter and I both loved it. I would give specific hilarious parts, but don’t want to ruin the surprises. You don’t want to miss. http://www.drhorrible.com/

Needed Some Older Tunes
Rush projects in the pay job were called in yesterday afternoon, so I’m swamped. Making sacrifices-Can’t go to the OKRWA meeting. 🙁 — this weekend so I can make up writing goals and carve out some badly needed kiddo time. Plus, I need to be writing. The story is so alive and I’m frustrated by…
Making Up Time Today
The defrag took all day yesterday, so I have to make up my payjob work today. No new words last night because silly me introduced the hubby to Pandemic 2. He never gets into games, so I didn’t think it would hurt. My son was on the desktop, so I snuggled up with the hubby since…
Crazy Hermits, Fantastic Wordcounts and Hot Fuzz!
I came into my office early this morning. Had to run a defrag and scan on the external hard drive I use in my payjob. It’s been dragging and slowing progress. So, I decided to write for a little while since the kids are still asleep and it’s quiet. These defrags/scans take forever! Apparently, I write…
Sharp-Edged Juggling
Started my official daily word goal last night. Had a heck of a time turning off the internal editor and had to wrestle her to just let the shitty first draft flow. But I did. Writing on a set schedule is important if you want to slam through deadlines and goals. Plus, the drafts may start shitty…
Was Tired of Lime Green
The pastel options in my last WordPress theme drove me nuts. I like pastels… in some things, but I prefer deeper, jewel tones. I also like dark blogs, but I don’t like white words on a dark background. This theme offered hard colors, the grittier, darker feel that fits my writing more and the actual posts are on a…
Theme’s a’Changing
I will be messing around with the theme here for a couple of days. No, my big face will not be staying up there, but I need to find the right sized photo to purchase and I’m about to head out for a bridal shower. It’s also too busy and there isn’t a way to…
Desperately Need to Change Channel
So. My husband has been watching this show lately. I don’t know if it’s new or not–it’s new to us. Desperate Landscapes. I can’t handle the hours of HGTV, DIYand Food Network he likes (Can we please, please, please have a new Star Trek series? A good one? Or better yet, start the Charlain Harris…
A Bit of Celephais
But some of us awake in the night with strange phantasms of enchanted hills and gardens, of fountains that sing in the sun, of golden cliffs overhanging murmuring seas, of plains that stretch down to sleeping cities of bronze and stone, and of shadowy companies of heroes that ride caparisoned white horses along the…
Saying No to the Wrong Main Character
It’s weird being home on the computer so much during a holiday weekend. Kind of feel like I’m the only one, but I’m pretty sure a lot of writers feel this way. This particular weekend, it’s more about letting the tummy heal, but it’s not that far out of the norm really. I started finishing books when…
