It has been a bad week that ended up bottoming out on Thursday. I've been sick, youngest lost her housing (stealing again) and we have no room for her so I'm starting to have really bad nightmares about her being on the street, we had to get the car smogged (the good news: the fixes we were expecting to make aren't going to be nearly as bad as we ( Read more... )

So, there's some final polishing to do, but A.C. is on its maiden submission, so I'm declaring it done and the journey I started with it in 2003 finally done.

I have finished a novel. It took me over 20 years and 5 versions of A.C. plus attempts at at least 2 other novels to figure it out and get here, but I did it and am proud of myself ( Read more... )

Figured it was time for an update of the project list. Really, sometimes I wish I could focus on just one thing at a time (I do have way too much going on here), but it seems I need something going at the rough draft phase when working on revisions - which of course eventually ends up with too many things ready for revision! Anyway, we'll start ( Read more... )
