Finally finished a bit of stuff that I didn't know was supposed to be part of Moonstrike! The more I post it at FanNation, the more I want to post it at ff.net. The files are there; I've uploaded them to ff.net to use their HTML capacity, which I've copied to FanNation as well as to my website files. I've had a couple of reviews, which have made me ( Read more... )

When I write a story, what do you immediately look for?

 I've been puttering around with a scene from Moonstrike! where Jeff takes his grown children to Mateo Island so they can see the progress being made on the Thunderbirds. In the comics, the Thunderbirds were built there as the facilities on Tracy Island weren't ready, and weren't really suitable, either, when you think about it. So, they're ( Read more... )

Been working on coding things for my personal fiction site. I’ve finished and posted Mosaic - though that will be updated when the muse strikes - and I’m working on The White Winds. There’s still lots to do, but I’m almost halfway through the chapter formatting. I’ve managed to get it down to a routine. Open the .txt files, put in the chapter ( Read more... )

I nearly had a cow this morning when I noticed that I was given a link to the TV section from my movies section bookmark.

At first, I thought they'd just deleted everything in the movie section, but it turns out they moved all the movie-verse stories - including the crossovers - into the TV-verse section. (I hope they also marked them as being Movie ( Read more... )

Today, I called for a repairman to fix our ailing oven. He came early, worked quickly, and did it right the first time.

When I wrote this up as my FB status, I said this: I like it when repliance guys come early, fix things quickly, and do it right the first time.

Seeing my error, I deleted the status, then put up the proper word. But, being a writer ( Read more... )

I had set up something in chapter 73 of The White Winds for the main character's track team: an indoor track and field arena for them to compete in despite the winter weather that was coming on. I put it in Worcester, MA, as being a rather centrally-located place, and said that it was at the University of Massachusetts at Worcester. My author's ( Read more... )

Okay, here's the scoop!

I've got two stories, one I've been working on for a while called Resolutions Redux, and another that I did for NaNoWriMo last November entitled, Brainstorm. They both center around the character of Brains, who is International Rescue's genius-nerd in residence. The first begins at New Year's, and concerns Brains's attempts ( Read more... )

Now that NaNo is over, and I can't use my absolutely adorable ML icon anymore, I've created a new one for myself. It's based on the favicon my personal site has. T for Tikatu, and the cat... well, it's the best silhouette, I thought. Reminds me of Tika. I made a cool banner for myself to use during NaNo... it's on my old hard drive, though, which ( Read more... )
