As I did last year, I've signed up for svmadelyn's Kink/Cliché Challenge. It is, I can say from experience, a whole lot of fun, and there's a whole list of kinks and clichés to choose from (you select three; svmadelyn will pick one for you at random). You can peruse the list hereLast year's story, while fun to write, wasn't really what I'd call terribly kinky. ( Read more... )

How is it that I've never seen the Sci Fi Channel's Destination Truth before? Dude, I just turned it on, and the guy is running around Papua New Guinea looking for an iguana dinosaur god. And later he's going to search for a mermaid. It's like the cryptozoology version of Ghost HuntersI am, obviously, going to be watching this marathon for the rest ( Read more... )

woke up afraid of my own shadow
like, genuinely afraid
headed for the pawnshop
to buy myself a switchblade
someday something's coming
from way out beyond the stars
to kill us while we stand here

and then the girl behind the counter asks
"how do you feel today?" and I say
"I feel like Lovecraft in Brooklyn!"

A very happy birthday to blueraccoon! I hope you have a lovely, cake-and-porn-filled day.

I managed to write (or well, work on a detailed outline, which is sometimes what I use as my first draft) during lunchtime today. I'm hoping I can get some more work done on that after work.

Not that this is a surprise, but it's always nice to get official confirmation.

1. I have reliable info that CSI:NY will, once they go back into production, shoot four to seven episodes to round out the season, meaning that we should get a total of 18 to 21 episodes total for S4. Which is a little short of their normal 24-episode order, but not nearly as bad as it could have been.

2. A while back, scarletts_awry and I decided that Flack, ( Read more... )

This morning in Starbucks, while I was waiting for J., I got out my notebook and wrote two pages. After we met up, as we were walking to the parking lot, it suddenly hit me that I had actually written something for the first time since Christmas Day, and I felt something unknot in my chest. I could have cried ( Read more... )

Okay, no fooling; I need to get back on the goddamn horse.

So: Give me two or three characters who you know I write together, and I'll write you a snippet of their first kiss.

I'll also do BSI 'verse versions of kisses. (Because it would be different, oh yes.)

Hit me.

scarletts_awry is back home now and I am back to a normal work week, but she and I had a fantabulous time this weekend. We did a lot of shopping, a lot of talking, a lot of coffee- and tea-drinking, a lot of eating out, and a lot of relaxing. It was all very, very good ( Read more... )

It is not often that someone comes along who is a true friend and a good writer. Charlotte was both.

Happy birthday, scarletts_awry! I hope you've had a great day. You're a fabulous friend and co-conspirator, and I'm very, very glad that we met. *snugs ( Read more... )
