1. I'm quitting energy drinks tomorrow! I binged all weekend, cut back yesterday, only had one today, and tomorrow I'll have none. Seriously, if I quit smoking, I can quit energy drinks and stick with it!

2. Allow me a moment to be a crabby bank teller: Don't bring eight deposits and two tax payments to the drive-thru thereby holding everyone else ( Read more... )

I rememeber a while ago (months maybe?) someone on my LJ list interviewed their characters as a way to get to know them better. Was it

I've been working on the Possession revision slowly but surely. I got a lot done this weekend, but yesterday? I rearranged two paragraphs and wrote enough fresh material to fill a teaspoon.

But maybe that's for the better. Maybe taking my time on this revision instead of speeding through it will make the book a million times better. I can hope, ( Read more... )

There were several things I wanted to talk about in this post, several things that don't relate at all to each other. So I'll just make a list.

1. I hit a deer Sunday night. It's the first time it's happened to me. Really, I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner. In the newspaper, in the police records section, sixteen car-deer accidents were reported ( Read more... )

Got a form rejection today on Possession. And this was one of the ones that went from a partial to full. Forms on fulls annoy me. I mean, how am I supposed to know what to fix if they don't tell me what's wrong? I realize it's not their job to tell me what's wrong, but feedback would be nice ( Read more... )

Memes that deal with WIPs? Gotta love 'em.

Turn to page 123 in your work-in-progress. (If you haven't gotten to page 123 yet, then turn to page 23. If you haven't gotten there yet, then get busy and write page 23.) Count down four sentences and then instead of just the fifth sentence, give us the whole paragraph.

From Possession (page 23):

“Yeah.” ( Read more... )

Why are you silly people not posting? Entertain me!!!! ;)

It's been one of those days where several things went wrong, but so many things went right that it didn't really matter.

The Wrong Things
1. We woke up a bit late and when we went out to the car, all the windows were frosted over. And I couldn't find my De-Icer!
2. My nose was really, really ( Read more... )

I did NOTHING today. I watched a movie (The Knockaround Guys) and read a book.

I can count on one hand the number of books I've read start to finish in the last six months. For some reason, since I've been writing seriously, I haven't been able to read really anything. Not for a lack of trying though. I've started and stopped probably fifty books. I ( Read more... )

I've been going so slow on the Possession revision. Or at least, it feels like it. I didn't work on it at all yesterday. But, since I started, I've added 18 pages, which has to be a sign of something good, right? Right ( Read more... )

After receiving a few rejections on Possession, and with help from some writerly friends, I decided it was most definitely time to start another revision ( Read more... )
