Hi all. How goes? So I've been trying to write this entry for nigh on a month now, it just hasn't been flowing. I don't really feel like going into grand detail, but I do feel I should give you all a some explanation for why I've been AWOL from DW and LJ and Double Bluff.

It's been a really tough time for me health wise - I have a new and currently ( Read more... )

 Hello lovelies! So to summarize where I've been and why it hasn't been here since... oh, the beginning of the new year?

Saga the first:
New year's day, the cat got out for a little over a day. He came back, sigh of relief. Two weeks later he suddenly developed a huge abscess on his cheek. Brought him to the emergency vet, they drained it gave me  ( Read more... )

So I got my invite to AO3 and started posting stuff there a few days ago. (Same name over there as here, if for some reason you wish to look me up) I posted some of Double Bluff -- the chapters I'm done doing any fussing with basically -- and will post the rest as I get time, and then as I write more. I wasn't going to post it until it was done, ( Read more... )

Tomorrow is my 3 month follow up of my surgery. I have to have another contrast MRI (injection with some strange substance that shows up better in MRI, then staying very very very still for an hour and a half while laying on my chest with at least one arm straight out above my head ah la Superman... yeah, fun times. Not.) Then the actual follow up ( Read more... )

Well, I ate remarkably little turkey for Thanksgiving day this year- of course, I'm doing the whole dinner thing tomorrow instead, so I'll catch up to the rest of you eventually. Instead I spent today (and some of yesterday) cooking for tomorrow- I have made 4 types of bread (cranberry orange, lemon, pumpkin, and banana), cranberry sauce, chocolate ( Read more... )

It's been a much longer week at work and in life than I thought it would be, and I'm only about 3/4 of the way through writing the next chapter of Double Bluff. I haven't even sent the prelim out to beta yet. I had hoped to have a chapter out tomorrow, but I don't think it's going to happen (I WILL try, but it may take a miracle). It's Halloween ( Read more... )

I think-- I mean, I'm not sure-- but I think I broke my own brain today. Briefly, mind you. I'm trying to get the next chapter of Double Bluff done, and I've got most of it, but I'm kinda bored with drawing the scene out, so I did what I usually do at that point, which is skip to outlining the rest of it so that I have a clue what I need to ( Read more... )

So, having committed to selling at a local craft event in November, I've decided I also need to ramp up and diversify my inventory of stuff to sell. Which means 1) I need MORE stuff, and 2) I need stuff that sells at both a lower and higher price point because at current, all my inventory has to sell for about $25-$40 if I want to get any money at ( Read more... )

Next chapter of Double Bluff is written and in beta! Hoping to post it tomorrow as mentioned previously. Working on the chapter after that now since 14 ends a little cliff hanger-ish and I don't want you all to throw things at me. I finished this chapter in 15 minutes today while at work, in between doing, ya know, actual work. I really really do ( Read more... )

in the fact that I just wrote most of an other chapter of Double Bluff in 41 minutes. I LOVE it when the words actually GO ON THE PAGE. It still needs a closing and a trip to beta, but there might be new Double Bluff in a couple of days if this works out. Also, if I keep this going at this pace, the last 5,000-10,000 words may write themselves ( Read more... )
