2010 – The Year I Actually Do Stuff
I’ve already said before about how much I’ve failed at resolutions. That’s not really something I want to revisit, honestly except to say it’s time to for me to be more specific with my resolutions, and look at them like they are goals, not stuff I just want to work toward. A lot of the [...]
Random Randomness
In my effort to be more regular, I’ve been scouring the net today for things to discuss as I work on my 2010 Goals Post for tomorrow. And what did I come up with? Jack shit. What I did realize today is my bookshelf is too small most people are more organized than me, and [...]
The Rewritepocalypse Begins: Stage 1
I’ve been talking about #Rewritepocalypse on Twitter for a few days now and a few people asked me what it was. I kind of said it as a joke, but then when I really started thinking about it, I liked the label. It really fits what I go through during revisions, and incredible strain revisions [...]
Merry Christmas!
I have no topic today other than to wish everyone out there a safe holiday season. I’m unplugging for a few days (except for I can do everything on my phone anyway so it’s not really unplugging) to spend some family time with the Monsters. I finished the last of my shopping at Gamestop today, [...]
Look, Mommy, it's Santa!!
I feel like I’d be a slacker if I didn’t do a Christmas post so I googled a lot and came up with some fun Christmasy websites that would be cool for the kids and great procrastinators for adults. First up, did you know the North Pole has a website now? You can even write [...]
Slacker Reformed…Maybe…
Let’s face it, I’m a total slacker at blogs. I love writing them but I hate committing to them. It’s very similar to writing stories, especially when you’re under contracts and deadlines and such. There is an expected word count you need to hit in order to get your work done on time. I think [...]
Life Suckers
I have discovered that Twitter sucks the life out of my blog. I talk about lots of stuff on Twitter that never seem to make it into the blog. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s just too inane or stupid to put in a blog or if I just talk so much on Twitter [...]
Responsibility Sucks
It’s Monday again and I wish i could say I wrote all weekend. However, that would SOOO not be true. I didn’t write one word all weekend. Instead, I flew to San Diego. My reserve unit goes out every three months for training with our active duty counterparts. It’s a lot of fun, usually, and [...]
At the End of 2009
I’ve never been the poster child for New Year’s Resolutions. In fact, I very rarely have kept them. I get distracted or I just decide it isn’t worth it. I think my problem has been that I always chose goals that were too general and too easy to get frustrated with and quit. Everyone puts [...]
Dear NaNoWriMo
Dear NaNoWriMo, I know you’re getting this a lot right now, but it needs to be said. We’re so done. We’re just not getting along anymore. Our goals are different now as I head into December. I want to slow down, I want to be able to characterize. I want to be able to actually [...]
