The summer season of Burn Notice started tonight and a bit of dialogue caught my attention:

Client*: What do we do now?
Michael: Plan B.
Client: What's Plan B?
Michael: Uh, I'm working on it.

That's pretty much where I'm at right now with Gen's story. When I randomly wrote a few thousand words of the book's climax, you may remember that I ( Read more... )

Well. Over the last few days Gen has decided I need to write the climax of her book ( Read more... )

After weeks of combing through icons, I've finally got one I think works really well for Gen & her story, which I'm currently calling QUENTS. It shows a little more of Gen's girly side than I was originally looking for, but I think it works ( Read more... )

I'm mid-revision. Or at least, I'm supposed to be. I was going to start January 1st. I was going to power through it! I was going to be DONE by mid-February.

Oooh, look, a shiny new story...

I'm sure we've all been there. So far I've been able to resist Shiny! New! when really working on another piece. I write out the scene-let has popped into my ( Read more... )

Anybody watch NCIS? If you do, this analogy will probably make sense. If not... Well, here's a little snippet of dialogue to help you understand ( Read more... )
