I’ve started getting notifications about screenwriting competitions, which means I need to decide which ones I’m going to pelt with screenplays. I’m considering blowing off Austin this year–I won’t have anything new until Script Frenzy,...

1533 words written today, for a total of 4582. That’s almost NaNoWriMo productive. Note to self: Distraction=Evil.

I’m not sure what’s up with the story, but it’s at 3049 words and just doesn’t want to move at all. Maybe this is the equivalent of the NaNoWriMo week two, and I should try to plow forward. Maybe I should set an arbitrary wordcount and do it...

Dear Circe, I can promise you that you’ll never have to take another pill, will never need any more bloodwork. There will be no more vet visits. No more sucky car rides. Goodbye, little ballerina kitty, who two months ago could jump over my head at the ripe old...

One year, not too long after my parents had divorced, my mother tearfully announced that there would be no Christmas this year and stormed off to work. No money, you see. It just so happened that my mother also used to rescue half-dead plants from the office and nurse...

Thanks to Mark Paschal (the author of OpenID Comments for MT), OpenID is back. I’ll probably never know why Brian’s OpenID stopped working–my guess is that it’s just borked–but the LJ account I was using to test was missing a piece in the...
