...in more ways than one. I've gotten over the hump in HAWK and just emailed the completed chapter 20 through chapter 26 to my CP. I'm at just over 59,000 words and still have several chapters to go and I know what's going to happen. It's just a matter of sitting down and WRITING. I'm on the downhill slide now. I wish I could get over my hump on the diet. I will be down to my target weight by the...

Happy Father's Day to all you dads out there. A father has a lasting impact on his children's lives. A daughter's first "male relationship" is with her father. I was lucky. My dad was the best and I miss him terribly. nere_ayo and G are so much alike in many ways that they often can't be in the same room for any length of time without fussing. But when I see their heads together as they talk...

This has traditionally been a good day for me - one of luck of the good variety. I have often heard from far-flung friends that I thought had long since fallen by the wayside. The last few years, though, Friday the 13th has pretty much passed by without much notice. Today? Today made up for things. I'll post more later, when I have the pictures downloaded and get the full story from G and rancourt...

It's raining. A lot. And has since about midnight. Was quite a storm at 3:00 a.m. I was up doing laundry. I'd gotten up to "do bidness" and as I was crawling back in bed, big lightning hit. Dogs and lolcat went nine ways from Sunday and I ended up with a can of Diet Coke in bed. Yeah. So...laundry. It's 11 a.m. and still raining. kiarrh and rancourt arrived safely last Friday and...

I babbled a bit over on Penumbra as I warned earlier that I would. I'm early to bed tonight as I haven't finished baking or cleaning the kitchen from said baking. So...up early to get a bit done before nere_ayo 's doctor appointment. Then home to get last minute things done and to fidget (ie. bake cookies) while waiting for the brisket to cook and kiarrh and rancourt to...

Happy birthday, jinxtigger . I'm glad you are in the world. It's Thursday. I have an image that I absolutely, positively have to work into a book - probably Road Trip (working title) - once I get around to working on it as my main character is a middle-aged woman. The image? A younger her dancing on a tabletop to Barry Manilow. *blinkblink* Don't ask. Trust me. The recesses of my mind...

For those who are interested, I have posted the SoTW "bonus novella" over on sin_sceal_eile . (The chapters will show up once I take them off "private".) This iss the beginning of my major revision of Season of The Witch . The beginning of SoTW was taken up with building canon and filling in the history of Sade's world. I've separated all of that out into this 18K word novella that I've tentatively...

The tornadoes missed us. They were all west and north and moved off, as they do out here, to the northeast. We did watch live as the local storm chasers and TV station helicopters were in hot pursuit. Most of the tornadoes, and there were many, hit open ground. One, however, hit a commercial hog farm and peeled back the roofs on all the the barns holding the livestock. Yes. I am just warped enough...

Caution. Meme-age ahead. From the ridiculous to the sublime, I present The List(tm). Behind that LJ cut are the 100 things I want to do before leaving this plane. This was a tough one. I've lead...if not exactly a charmed life, at least an interesting one. I've done amazing things, seen incredible sights, and lived to tell the tale. I've met famous people...and plain people with stories worth hearing...
