Think I’ve just experienced my first bout of food poisoning. Yesterday, I felt so bad, a migraine level headache joined the party. I still put in eight or so hours on a possible consulting job. (Motivated <G>) But, through all that, I forgot an important appointment. I’m supposed to be working on Unnatural Selection but I’ve…

Un-NaNo Day 2 & Important Things!
Okay, yesterday rocked. (In writing only!) Yes, some of these words were imports from the old manuscript, but I rewrote them to fit new plot, took out a character, added back in a different character, fleshed out new setting which will still need work in next draft. I didn’t want to stop the flow too much…

Project Done
My rewriting project is finished. I basically let everything go and just dove into that world for the last seven days. I truly enjoy this sort of highly concentrated time. My poor body does not. Eyes, head and of all things, feet, complained. Why feet? When I get excited, I prop them on the edge…

Pretty Snow
Oklahoma got SNOWED. Here are a couple of pics from yesterday. It was still snowing hard when I took them, so they look dark, but pretty, eh? I love this tree and it drives the hubs nuts. But in the fall, red berries sprout all over it and looks so nice through the kitchen window. But…
Tense? Me?
The party at the Deadline Dames is such a blast! Our comment boxes are overflowing with excitement. It’s catching! I haven’t decided what my exclusive post will hold yet. But I will say, my prizes are cool. I wish, wish, wish I had books to give out, but that is something the universe is still…
Come Celebrate!
The Deadline Dames actually got together in the summer of 2008. The nine of us started an email loop and began chatting to get to know each other and to figure out what we wanted to do with our website. We wanted a place for readers and writers to hang out, wanted to help each…
