About Weekends

One of the first things you learn after you start work in a corporate environment is that weekends are never – ever – bloody long enough. This revelation is often followed closely by the discovery that Dilbert really is funny. It’s a remarkable dividing line. People who have worked in a corporate environment laugh at Read More…

Long Day

I go to work early. Partly because I start to fade around 2 or 3 even when I sleep disgustingly late, and it makes sense to get in as much that needs thinking and a functioning brain before my body decides “hell no”. Unfortunately that means if I’ve got to stay late – like today Read More…

So, Chris McMahon tagged me in the ongoing blog chain of the Next Big Thing. Me being itty-bitty writer-thing and currently brain-dead exhausted as well, it’s a good thing I wrote the guts of this last week. The rules: 1. Give credit to the person/blog that tagged you.

ConSensual edits done

The first round, anyway. I still need to do the format and typo hunt edit round, but my readers have the updated version in their hot little paws, and snippeting has begun in Sarah’s Diner on Baen’s Bar. I’ll snippet smaller bits here on a slightly different schedule.

Of keyboards and things

Yet again life got sufficiently crazy that updating here fell off the radar. Meanwhile, I’ve just returned from buying a new keyboard – the third time I’ve done this in the last year. Why? I spend a lot of time typing, both at home and at work, and I’m kind of fussy about the tools Read More…
