Writing
Monday, Monday
Monday, July 28th, 2008After having had a fun weekend of barbecuing and a train ride in Virginia City, work was the last thing I felt like doing this morning…especially since our e-mail server was switched over the weekend. As we suspected, our computer network did some funky things today and I was forced to spend a majority of […]
Once Bitten, Twice Shy
Thursday, July 10th, 2008I seem to have once again been bitten by the desire to write a lot and I’m happy. For the longest time, I’ve had a “writer’s block” that I can only believe came about after my disappointing first novel came out in print. The book Noble Savage placed second in a POD publisher’s contest about […]
Turn the Page
Tuesday, June 24th, 2008My current writing “project” is to deconstruct and restructure some of my old work. I have several projects going, many started during Nanowrimo, that I plan to re-do so they read in a more coherent and consistent manner. My inspirations have been two of my writing heroes, Bethany Donne and Gorgeous Nerd (says […]
Gold-Plated Globes?
Tuesday, January 8th, 2008The Golden Globes have fallen victim to the continuing writer’s strike. This year’s show has been cut down to a one-hour news conference instead of the normal multi-hour dinner gala. Who’s planning to watch?
Certainly not me. As a struggling writer wanna-be, I am behind the writers 110%. The media moguls need […]
End of 2007 Wrap-Up
Thursday, January 3rd, 2008Everyone is doing them, but I don’t really remember much about my year so I’ll just say that 2007 was very interesting. I can only wonder what 2008 will bring.
You’ve probably noticed that my most recent posts are shorter than some of my older ones. I’m going to try to do a little […]
Official
Sunday, November 25th, 2007As of a few minutes ago, I’m an official 2007 Nanowrimo winner - though I actually hit the 50,000-word mark back on Wednesday night. I’m going to continue working on this project for the rest of the week because I’d like to finish this first draft before December 1st.
I’d also like to send my […]
Oh Happy Day
Monday, November 19th, 2007The last couple days have been pretty good. I’ve managed to exercise, eat pretty well (even when I went out), and I’m close to reaching the 50,000-mark for Nanowrimo…more than a week before the end of the challenge. Best of all, Thursday is Thanksgiving and Santa’s appearance at the end of the Macy’s parade is […]
Another Weekend
Friday, November 16th, 2007Why do short work weeks always seem to be busier than normal ones? My job can be pretty quiet for weeks on end, but this week I hand a pretty constant stream of requests to handle. Some of them were pretty interesting and unexpected, but I wasn’t really in the mood to do much more […]
An Ordinary Day
Tuesday, November 13th, 2007The Tuesday after a three-day weekend is not easy, but is often more like a Monday times two. My day started out with me deciding I’d rather not wake up with my alarm (until I realized that it was a work day), I spent a majority of my time at the office half-asleep, and I […]
A Good Day
Thursday, November 8th, 2007After having a much better night’s sleep, I felt much better today and managed to get quite a bit done. Work was busy so the day went quick. I did manage to take my two breaks and walk about 1 1/2 miles, I went to the gym this evening and did another five miles on […]
