I'm working on the story that I submitted for the 400 flash liberty hall. Based on the story, I have a sort of mini outline done up and we'll begin rewriting probably tomorrow but maybe Monday.

I purposefully did not enter the 401th flash, as my intentions are to try every other one, which gives me time to try and finish a story rather than just ( Read more... )

This has been a really good experience, working this much at the post office. I should say that I'm in a tiny, one-person office that is surprisingly busy, and working around 35 hours a week, going from working around 10 a week as a very much fill-in person ( Read more... )

Hi, Tamara! I tried finding you on fb, but there's six Tamara Eatons and I'm not sure which is you. I'm Karen Magon in Mio, the only one ( Read more... )

My mil had a severe stroke and may not walk again. Still, it's hard to tell with these things in the long run, and they're going to start her on physical therapy very soon. I'm not sure how everyone's going to manage the actual day to day things, but families have a way of working things out ( Read more... )

I participated in a flash challenge at Liberty Hall yesterday and I'm so glad I did. I was sweating over taking my prospective characters for a sort of test drive and couldn't seem to get up the courage to try, but then I did with the challenge and I had the best time. I've got changelings and magic and all sorts of drama and a sidekick who has ( Read more... )

...after all that yesterday, and today it's snowing like crazy! lol, it's really spectacular, with the trees looking sugar-coated and everything limned and perfect ( Read more... )

My story's doing all right in the Flash so far, which is to say that people rather like it. My normal track would be to go all silly about why they like it, but I think that I'll try, more, to focus on why I like it and leave it at that; it is what it is. It's okay I'm balanced on the thin blade of glad, not toppling into the abyss of bizarre. ( Read more... )

I've been thinking about my flash yesterday in terms of TPW. One thing that felt wonderful about that flash was that I truly sank into the story and words, well, *I* vanished and the *something other* wrote.I've been calling that event my muses, I think, and have been at war with them for a long time, but the stories where I'm in complete control ( Read more... )

Okay, well, I finally got in my Liberty Hall Flash, whew! it's sure been a while. I had a good time with it, and it's a love story, which I've usually worked to keep my stories more straight-laced. Okay, well it's a straight-laced love story, and the ending needs...you know what, I'm going to stop talking, now, lol! I'm not very kind to me about my ( Read more... )
