in an attempt at using this as my writing journal, some tumblr crossposting
surreal work week aside, I had a pretty good day on writing today on the next part of my Blood in the Water Yuri on Ice! series. I have about 20 tabs open with information on all of the 2015-16 figure skating season events, and also most of the pages from the Yuri on Ice wiki, as this next installment opens just before Yuuri’s free skate at the ( Read more... ) -
five favourite book-to-movie adaptations
so I was reading an article today that tried to match the best (and worst) book to movie adaptations using statistics. I don’t hold with “mathematics”, but I wanted to throw my hat in the ring with five of my favourites.
In no particular order, wherein I have both read the book and seen the movies: -

I’m working on my resume and cover letter for Dream Job and all I have so far is the decision to not re-work a past cover letter, but start from scratch.
So I have a blank piece of paper.
Anyway here’s my resume of Things They Didn’t Ask For:- Very seldom cries in the office

i went for a walk with my mother this morning at the Reifel Bird Sanctuary this morning and then we somehow ended up in the Ladner Farmer’s Market which had probably double the normal population of Ladner shoved into a two-block radius. It was great.

small wins
this week at work has been long (3 10-hour days in a row! I love being on salary!) but at least I did score one tiny win - I managed to find the piece of the WordPress theme code that let me display the full content on our blog's categories pages, not the excerpt.
This is probably only exciting to me, but at least I have accomplished something this ( Read more... ) -

Fanfic Q&A time (cloned from Tumblr)
Tagged on tumblr by @rosefyrefyre
Favorite story I’ve written and why? I have a few for different reasons:- Agent Afloat Atlantis - writing Ziva David in this story was a very interesting experience, and I think story is one of my better efforts in terms of language and crossoverness.
- Widow Maker - not only do I love Natasha Romanoff, but the arc and ( Read more... )

life is expensive
So in follow up to yesterday's post: the brakes were shot, there was something wrong with the transmission, and the battery was failing. I bought the truck (a 2008 Ford Ranger) in 2013 and haven't had any maintenance issues with it before, so I suppose it was only a matter of time before things started to fall apart. Anyway, now I am much poorer ( Read more... ) -

I have to take my truck in tomorrow for its regular service, and I think they're going to have to replace the front brakes (the dude said last time that they were getting close), so I'm mentally preparing myself for the hit to my pocketbook. Still, better to have working brakes ( Read more... ) -
writing is hard
over the long weekend, I had a brief spurt of inspiration to maybe write a Valentine's Day outtake for Hands of Clay, and got 900 words in before i wrote myself into a corner that made me lose the buzz. Work today was a creative energy suck so I had nothing left to give once I got home, but maybe I'll try tomorrow.
