I’m distracted by my first Critters critique for the hurricane story, which I expected. I always think I’m being obvious when I write. I give the story to Brian, who understands it completely and effortlessly. I sent it in for critique. *Wonk!* Now,...

In other news, my backups are apparently pretty darned good. Yay!

Geek post! I’d been using Ubuntu on my Acer Aspire 3624WXCi laptop for about a year now. I really enjoyed my Ubuntu experience until I fell victim to this obnoxious bug. It took a while to manifest itself, too; the problem seemed to get worse every time they...

NaNoEdMo starts in two days. So why am I excited about Script Frenzy instead? I used to love editing and agonize over first drafts. I think NaNoWriMo cured me of the agonizing, so maybe that’s part of it. I have no idea what I’m going to do for Script...

From Jennifer Pelland, a discussion on the importance of having a writing cheerleader. I actually tried to do that with NaNoWriMo on a sikrit friends-only LJ, but no one commented, alas. Maybe I should have mentioned that was my plan. What, my friends aren’t all...
