To avoid a bit of driving to and fro between home and work, I occasionally take the bus that covers about 29 of the 35 mile commute. (Which  means leaving the car in the city to cover the 5.5 miles between bus stop and workplacle... but I digress ( Read more... )

And I'm off, slightly slow. I missed the Midnight kickoff with the local writer's group, as I had an important meeting this morning at work, and felt I could not afford the short night, of staying out well past midnight to get a start on writing 50,000 words in November. Lot of good that did me, as I then proceeded to have a night where I didn't ( Read more... )

Two more drabbles from 2012 have reached their ultimate destination on fanfiction.net this evening.

 It's not the same room that it was. Old!Inuyasha, retreating from the tension and pain as Kagome's family is forced to grapple with the reality that she has been dead for centuries, realizes that the room isn't as familiar as he might have expected...

This is another belated upload to fanfiction.net, to the These Old Bones collection, and a ( Read more... )

Working a bit of a lull in LiveJournal contest deadlines to update fanfiction.net. I've just uploaded the latest piece in the "These Old Bones" collection, which deal with an ancient Inuyasha in modern Tokyo. In this piece, which chronologically takes place the second day after he makes himself known to the Higurashi family, its a piece showing how ( Read more... )

A week late, but still time to look back at 2011. According to the totals on my spreadsheet, I wrote 105 drabbles or short stories for LiveJournal contests, totalling about 55,000 words (if one counted the first drafts, which usually had to be cut down to meet word limits, it would probably be over 60,000). Add in 53,000 for the NaMoWriMo, and ( Read more... )

Time to do some more updating to fanfiction,net. This time, it's the last two pieces about old!Inuyasha. The first piece, which was placed in the "These Old Bones" collection, is a continuation of the first day and evening of Inuyasha's reappearance. Taking place directly after chapter 8 of the series, Souta is anxious to make Inuyasha feel better ( Read more... )

With a new chapter written for the Destiny series, it was time to get the fanfaiction.net series updated, so readers of the new chapter could readily access the rest of the story, if so desired. So, no less than six chapters (11-16) have been posted in the last hour or so. Those stories basically complete the first 'arc' of Destiny, where Kohaku ( Read more... )

i've copied three more short pieces written for LiveJournal contests to my Fanfiction.net account this evening. One, however, wasn't written a few months ago, but almost two years! I keep a spreadsheet to try and track my stories (and the contests), so that they will all end up in the central 'repository' (so to speak).

But, it some ways, it works ( Read more... )

Who wants to be the bearer of bad news, especially if it doesn't occur to you that, from the point of view of other, your news is bad?

In this brief addition to These Old Bones, old!Inuyasha hadn't expected the reaction of Kagome's grandfather to his aged presence (in chapter 7). What does he try to do in response?
