Brainstorm Update

First of all, if you’re just happening by or need the reminder, check out the Writing Challenges box in the sidebar for links to Round 2 of 70 Days of Sweat and NaNoWriMo 2007. 
As for progress, well, little by little.  I still don’t have a title for this one so I can start calling it something.  But I’ve done some work, [...]

Friday Snippet #5: Simon’s Fantasy

I wasn’t even going to put up a snippet this week.  But then I read Kettle’s and Bri’s because I couldn’t resist seeing what they had up, and I wanted to play too.  And then this is what I picked out?  I really wasn’t going to show you this, but I didn’t know what else to give [...]

Friday Snippet #4: Matt’s Good Morning

I’ll apologize in advance for the length of this.  It’s a bit longer than I like to post, but I guess it is what it is.  I think it was Bri, last week, who asked for some happy thoughts.  Reading this over, I’m not sure I have any gift for writing happy thoughts, but we’ll [...]

WOTM Update: Simon Says More Stuff

You know, writing sex doesn’t really bother me.  But it seems like every time I write for villain Simon I have that dirty, what will my family think, not so fresh feeling.
But know why?  ‘Cause it was that good!
 Ok, I’m punchy.  Partly ’cause I’m trying to shake off this sicko freak I just wrote about, [...]

The Romance Debate

Yeah, I would say that today the conversation Kettle and I had about what means Romance was more of a debate, since we each had some pretty different opinions.  Her post today is called What Makes a Romance.  Even though I’m going to excerpt the [expletive deleted] out of it, do go over and read [...]

Sherri L. King’s Steele

Well, I finally gave in and bought an ebook from Ellora’s Cave.  Steele, a novella-length story just under 100 pages, is the first book in Sherri L. King’s Sterling Files series.  We don’t learn too much about Sterling, except that it’s a research company that studies people with “special abilities”, is funded by the government.  Sterling is rivaled [...]

WOTM Update: Big Sister Envy

I know, it’s been a few days.  I knew this week would be bad.  My daughter’s birthday is this weekend and I’ve got a bunch of stuff to do for that, and since I’ve invited people to my home, I’m generally more nervous than usual and so that doesn’t help my concentration on Matt and Alex’s [...]

Ew. Sex is Icky

The other day I was reading a friend’s blog and- I hope you’ll forgive the vagueness and lack of linkage- she was referencing some article she had read about how sad it was that grown-ups were reading Harry Potter.  Obviously, this is not an article I’m going to rush off and read.  But she read [...]

WOTM Update: A New Nightmare

 I am god of my ficitional world, and I am not benevolent.
 But we’ll get to that.  So like I said, this morning I converted part of my notes into prose and posted my half week’s total to 70 Days (rather than constantly link to the same post, how about you just check out the sidebar [...]

WOTM Update: Between Us

Whew.
I’m not changing my counter today.  Just between us, word count for my work today was 1241.  But it’s all in the loose style I talked about in the previous post so I’ll be reworking it tomorrow and whatever I get then is what I’ll add to the “official” tally. 
Yesterday something happened that brought up a [...]
