Apparently, OpenID mysteriously quit working with LJ. I’ll assume that’s why I haven’t received any comments since September. Comments are moderated because of spammers. Specifically, it’s because there is a special circle in hell for people...

At least, it made Brian give me a weird look. 😉 I’m considering doing all my composing in plain text rather than Open Office or AbiWord. Why? More portable–easier to sneak in work on other machines (*coughcough*the office*cough*). I won’t need to...

42,093 / 50,000 : 84.2% I have NaNoWriMo fatigue. I’m ready for this to be over. The question is whether I want to try to marathon extra words or just slow and steady finish the last 8,000 words over the next four days. We’ll see how I feel tomorrow, but I...

NaNoWriMo proceeds apace. Thus far the story is coming out quick and sketchy, like a gesture drawing. It’s like my muse feels rushed and is telling the story as fast as she can, and I have to hurry to get down a bare skeleton of mostly dialog just to keep up. I...

I’ve officially decided to go to WisCon next year, and have bought a ticket. Broad Universe usually has a rapid-fire reading at WisCon. If they do again, I’ll be there, reading something. I have until May to decide what, but if the reading was tomorrow it...

The story I’m working on now? It feels so much like science fiction to write, but I’m pretty sure it reads as fantasy. It’s an alternate history story where something supernatural happens, and I can’t get over how much it feels like science...
