… just makes your ass stick to the chair. In case you haven’t tried it, don’t. Just thought I’d make that public service announcement — the words are moving along, but I’m taking a ‘thought-for-plot’ break before I move into scene two, and the Death of Someone I Haven’t Decided On Yet.

And then there is the Canon in D
Everything else cleared out of the playlist, and the Canon looping endlessly. And now, at last, the words are flowing.
Bach
Thank God for Bach and Yo Yo Ma. Without both of them I’m not sure I’d ever get any writing done. The words are coming. Slowly. I fear this is going to be another of those ‘pulling teeth’ writing sessions. And no one is dead yet, damn them.
Back to work
Getting started late today, but I’m hoping that improved focus and a growing determination that today somebody has to die will keep me rolling, and that this won’t be another 2,400-words-in-eight-hours ordeal.

Toys are evil, and websites are the biggest toys on the planet
. . . at least if you’re trying to get work done. On the one hand, I now have a truly nifty weblog tied in to my site, all the links fixed, all the colors matched to the actual site . . . And on the other hand I’m still about 200 words shy of… Continue reading Toys are evil, and websites are the biggest toys on the planet

Well, my people are arguing in a hall, and I’m trying not to find some excuse to kill them all, which would be a quick and unfortunate end to what’s supposed to be a fairly long interlinked series. So I’m trying out the Blog This! right-click pop up menu. If it works, it’ll automatically update… Continue reading Trying more technology
