Okay, I’m ridiculously proud of the fact that my five-year-old sat in bed before the rest of the household was up and moving and wrote his first story. He calls it, “Why Homeschooling Is Great.”
It goes:
“I now vat 2+2=4. I now vat tooys are the bst.”
It’s not long. The spelling is a […]
This month’s Vision workshop, titled How To Write Suckitudinous Fiction, which no doubt betrays me as the “lowbrow” champion of workmanlike prose and blue-collar fiction (Well, I am. I even had a reviewer tell me so. So there.) is now available. I hope you enjoy.
In further Vision news, starting with the […]
I’ve added author Sara Donati’s weblog. Sara is just getting started with the weblog, but what she already has up makes me want to see where she’s going — writing, Farscape, hints, tips and really tiny snippets. Go take a look.
No matter how you think Terry Schiavo’s case should have been handled, the fact that she has been left in Michael Schiavo’s care is looking more and more unfortunate, and Michael Schiavo is looking more and more like someone who needs to be interrogated by police. Ever since I started hearing about Terry’s husband’s […]
Not an expose’ at breakfast-time, but a breakfast expose’. Do NOT eat while reading this. Funny, in a shuddery sort of way.

Don’t get to see anything like this too often. It’s out on my front window right this minute. Cool, huh?
Hmmmm. Having weeded and cleared brush and tossed redundancies left and right, and having the rhythm of the ending of the book pretty comfortably in my head now, I’ve found that I’m about 18,000 - 20,000 words from the end of the story with Talyn.
However, I’m still about forty thousand words from […]
3043 words on Talyn today. Passed page 1000 and didn’t even let myself slow down. I landed on 1002 with a lovely twist that I had not expected that will take me with some momentum into tomorrow’s work.
It’s too soon yet to say that the final momentum is building, but I think I […]
My Safari browser (Mac software) just stopped working today. It’s been rock-solid and very fast, I haven’t installed any new software lately, and it was working just fine last night. Today … nada. Netscape still works just fine, as does Opera.
Anyone else ever experience this particular oddity?
Got 3032 words on Talyn this morning. Left myself with a GREAT place to pick up the story tomorrow morning. Stuff was falling into place with the sweet clicks of Fate.
I’m almost ready to pass 1000 pages, which will be my next big “first time ever” milestone. Good, good writing […]
