Life Takes Over

2008-07-20T14:33:42Z

So, at the beginning of this month, I said my writing was stalled. Turns out it was a lot more than a stall and a lot more serious than we realized. I ended up having an emergency, minor surgery about a week ago. It wasn't really a big deal, bu...

Stalled

2008-07-01T07:33:46Z

There's been a lot going on—mostly health issues, but a few other things a well—and now A.C. and Phoenix are stalled. Hopefully not for much longer, but I'm having a lot of trouble getting back with it. It's like I didn't fall off the cart but g...

Phoenix About Ready

2008-05-25T07:05:34Z

Phoenix Rising has been sent off to a writing buddy for a plot check. The notes draft isn't quite done—it needs some actual notes—but the story itself is. Politics play a big part in this novel and I needed someone who likes that kind of thing t...

Making Progress

2008-05-22T22:42:54Z

Both in life and with my writing. Life right now is a bunch of annoying, but necessary doctor appointments. Taking care of a recurring female related problem and finally getting back on my heart medication. Just can't love being winded all the ...

Yes, It's Been Awhile

2008-05-12T06:53:28Z

I've actually had an amazing amount of personal stuff get in the way of my usual activities, some of it health related, some of it family related, and a whole lot of it disruptive. Things appear to be settling now, for the most part, and I've mad...

A Few Quiet Weeks

2008-04-13T16:59:05Z

Between personal stress at home, work, weather, and a few other things, not much work has been done on my own writing recently (note previous entry). However, I have finally reached the current halfway mark in Assassin's Choice in terms of chapte...

Writing Through Stress

2008-04-03T12:49:24Z

Despite the title, writing through stress isn't something I do well. When stressed, I tend to veg out and watch TV...anything on TV (well, almost anything—you couldn't pay me to watch Flavor of Love...actually, pay enough and maybe—we could use t...

And the Weather Wins!

2008-03-17T12:50:39Z

There is a downside to doing everything on the weekend: tornado weather can get in the way. This weekend, I didn't get much done because the weather pretty much took me offline for about a day and a half. If I owned a laptop, it wouldn't have be...

It's Nice To Have A Productive Week

2008-03-10T17:09:51Z

I think I'm finally figuring out how to make the editing job/writing career thing work. Of course, I shouldn't say that too loudly--could end up having the whole thing not work out for several weeks in a row and then where would I be? Pretty muc...

Trying To Find The Track

2008-03-04T15:24:52Z

I'm trying to get back on track here, but it's proving to be slower going than I imagined. I still have the cough from being sick, though I suspect that, for the first time in almost 4 years, some of the issue is my asthma flaring.up. It's weird...
