It’s only been a hundred years in the making, but I finally updated the site, including a excerpt of Guys and Dogs!
With life calming down at work, I might even be able to work on Happy Medium this week. Maybe. I still have that old nasty thing called housework. Yick!
81,500 words by page count, just over 68K by actual word count. Funny how those two numbers are always so far apart. At any rate, GUYS AND DOGS is done. Or as done as a first draft can get. Now I need to edit it, write a synopsis and a query letter. Sigh… done is [...]
GUYS AND DOGS is almost done. We’re talking less than fifty pages, most likely. Well, unless I get wordy. And I never get wordy. Oh no. The problem is not writing the pages, though - it’s what to put on them.
I laid in bed the other night trying to think like my antagonist. He’s got [...]
Man, that’s the story of my life, isn’t it? And everyone I know. Life gets in the way of writing all the time. Either it’s the kids or the day job or whatnot. This month for me, it’s been the kids. But in a good way.

I think some time ago I confessed that a few friends and I were going to do a NaNo sprint in March. It’s March now, right? And no, I’m not sprinting. In fact, this blog is the closest thing to writing I’ve done all week.
The good news about this is that none of my friends [...]
Well, I just finished the first edit on what I had written in November on GUYS AND DOGS. The last few chapters were pretty fun to read, considering they were riddled with gems such as this:
“Well you said if I have friends over near dinnertime I should ask them to stay. Aren’t you going to [...]
And when I say crap, I mean crap. But I won, even though the book is pretty much unsalvageable.
Whoo!
I normally finish up NaNo way sooner than this, but considering computer problems, redecorating my house, and having three kids, I think it may be amazing that I write anything. Almost there. Just about 3,000 more crappy words to go.
Well, tomorrow is Thanksgiving, and this afternoon we’ll be taking off south to see the Mother-in-Law. We’ve decided to take her to dinner tonight and leave her in her nice comfortable room at the nursing home for the actual holiday. She’s unfortunately gotten to a point where I cannot rely on her to remember us [...]
I’m officially behind, but getting kinda sorta caught up. Hoping for a miracle this weekend.
