Writing continueth albeit in the gaps between everything else. Wordage is currently in the order of 37k, so I’m fairly happy considering how hectic things have been. Meanwhile the home buying experience rolls on. Called insurance company today about what would be involved in getting home insurance and rolling the car and renters insurance in. Read More…

We can haz expensive tastes
Hubby and I always figured our tastes were pretty simple. Wood, clean lines, darkish wood with a touch of red. So we start looking at assorted furniture places around here and online. Eek. I never knew our tastes were platinum-plated and diamond-studded in the budget department. We aren’t ready to buy just yet so we Read More…
What did you do today?
Me, I verified three bugs, created two more, did a lot of research into weird software behavior, wrote about 1k words on the current work in progress, and bought a house. Contract is now done, and our realtor will be calling tomorrow to go over paying the good faith deposit, organizing the inspections, and the Read More…
Finished the chapter
Finally got that chapter down. For whatever the reason it fought me the whole way. Now I get the fun of all hell breaking loose part A, while I try to retain the tattered shreds of what passes for my sanity while juggling interesting times at work (the good sort, fortunately) and the huge adventure Read More…
The end approacheth
Of the chapter, that is. After this chapter is done, I move into a sequence that promises to make my main character’s life even more miserable. So far she’s had it easy – although she doesn’t think so. In other news, if the nasty white stuff that’s supposed to fall out of the sky isn’t Read More…
About a page
worth of wordage added today. Hopefully I can improve in this tomorrow and get back into the writing loop. I’m a lot better off when I’m actively producing wordage. It’s something of a pressure valve for me. Besides, this piece is fun. Ah, SFF… where else could you get away with an entire culture that Read More…
The progress she is mixed
We’ve now seen three houses – house #1 ranks as “we could live there but has potentially serious problems”, house #2 is partway through renovation and will be magnificent when finished – but we are not the people to finish it. We don’t have the skills to do it justice. House #3 is “unless we Read More…
The Whirlwind of Change
Today marks day two of the new boss, and day two with so much going on that lunch break just didn’t happen. I’m going to need to get hold of that before it does some damage. While I’m energized – it’s the injection of hope into a situation where there wasn’t any prospect of anything Read More…
Authorial house hunting
For various reasons Tom and I are going to have to move house, probably somewhere around March. This has propelled us from comfy chaos in the place we’re renting to the scary realm of the first time home buyer. On the plus side, we know what closing costs actually are and why they’re so steep.

In which I am bitten by lack of organization
Says it all, really. Something I really need is nowhere to be found, and the piles of stuff to deal with have been reshuffled several times. I’ve even rediscovered the fake wood veneer on my desk. I need a secretary. One who organizes everything for me and doesn’t charge anything (yes, I’m cheap). Writing was Read More…
