I didn't hit my writing deadline last night (my Sip was due), so I got up at 7 this morning to edit, polish, and send it early. It's now sent, will hopefully be picked up (I'll be SHOCKED if it isn't -- they said they needed people to write July 4 short stories, I emailed and asked if they still needed writers, and they said, "YES PLEASE WRITE ONE ( Read more... )

Seriously? Seriously?

In one of their first arguments to the court, the defendants said that certain "traditional" faiths are first tier faiths and that those faiths were meant to have equal rights and protections under the United States Constitution, but that all of the other faiths, for example, Hindus, Pagans, Buddhists, Sikhs, Mormons, ( Read more... )

I wanted to post about the stuff I touched on earlier, and now I want to post about other stuff, and either way it's getting late and I'm tired and need to start turning my brain off rather than writing ( Read more... )

It's been a good few days. It's been raining here, and half my clients -- well, more -- canceled, so it's been slow for work (this doesn't concern me). And because it's been quiet and rainy, but I didn't feel like sitting around and doing nothing, I've been doing paperwork that needed doing. Like taxes. *laughs* I'm all prepared this year ( Read more... )

In a few minutes I'm off to celebrate my birthday with my two awesome neighbors, V and K. YAY! We're maybe going to play pool (and if not, go to a pub if V knows of one, or a movie if she doesn't -- it'll depend on the noise levels at the pool hall.) (Let me just draw your attention to that: we have a POOL HALL. :D), and it'll be awesome. :D ( Read more... )

The last story in the Mark series is almost complete!

And on another gay note, though the prop 8 trial may not be televised (it's still up for debate) you CAN read this live blog on what's going on as it happens! Go, read! And if you have $5 to spare... well, go give it to those folks in Haiti. But if you have ANOTHER $5 to spare, donate to the ( Read more... )

Last week I drove home to SoCal, had T'giving with family, and last night I drove home and then trained dogs all day today. And yet somehow, I consider this to be enough free time to write, finally. Ha ha ha ( Read more... )

Having trouble focusing. >.> Partly because I've never written a lesbian story before. Possibly I should have started with fanfic. (Uhura/Gaila ftw!) Ah, well, I will muddle through, albeit very slowly. ;-D

I am training a Great Dane. He weighs 30 pounds more than I do, if I assume my weight has remained high. Heh.

Walked all three dogs, the aggressive dog did SO MUCH BETTER, especially since she's had four days off in a kennel (her parents were at a conference) and I wasn't sure she'd remember her manners. >.< But she did! We worked on getting her ( Read more... )

There must be something in the air, because all the bad stuff I've been reading on my f'list (friends struggling, having a hard time, crap politics, etc) has today been replaced by people talking about good things (a 5-year job anniversary -- go, indiana_j! -- awesome family dinners, BIRTHDAYS, both gone by yesterday and coming up tomorrow, and general good ( Read more... )
