No, it’s not that old-timey game a game in which players try to flip plastic disks into a cup by pressing them on the side sharply with a larger disk. That’s tiddlywinks! I talked a little about this yesterday, but I’ve had such fun with it, I thought it needed shared again and I should…
So, what have I been up to while I’ve essentially been maintaining “radio silence” the past couple of weeks? The holidays came and went. DS decided to share his cold with everyone. How generous. Ugh. We decided we’d stay home for New Year’s instead of infecting our friends in L.A. Didn’t do much here for…
The online game that I played had a thing where if you didn’t send in any commands for a long enough period, it would idle you out. Your character was sent to a special room named “The Void”. Before you hit a second time-out point, your next command would put you back into playing mode…
I was inspired by the submission call for this anthology soon after I joined the Romance Divas this summer. However, my story didn’t make it past DH’s red pen, but I was so happy to see many familiar names when the acceptances came out. The anthology includes: Love Rewritten by Esmerelda Bishop Mistletoe Magic by…
Falling sick last week really knocked a hole in my word count. I have a bit over 14k left to hit the 50k mark, but I’m already into Act III of the story and maybe have 27 pages of material planned until the end. That’s roughly 5,400 words, so that would leave around 8,800 that…
Writing progress since Thursday has been practically non-existent. I’ve been largely unable to sit and focus on anything for any significant amount of time. I’m about 5k words short of where I should be by this point. Guess I’m not going to be taking any time off except for cooking on Thanksgiving Day itself. I…
The kids are feeling a bit better. The boy’s likely going to school tomorow. Neither have strep, so that’s a relief. Not having to stop and run back and forth to school has helped with NaNo productivity. Once I’ve gotten everything out of the way, I can sit down and pretty much write until I’m…
I’m back at on target for NaNoWriMo! Luckily, I’m not the one suffering from the stuffy head, sore throat and cough flavored nastiness that’s going around my house this week. Both kids began to run fevers this afternoon. High enough to keep them out of school tomorrow. Joy. DH also left for the EastCoast today…
Progress has been slow and painful the past couple of days. I’m at the beginning of Act II and I think I may be missing a scene or two. The problem is, I’m not sure which ones. The last couple of days I’ve been trying to fill in what I thought was missing. I’m not…
No, not an obscure reference to Lindenhurst, NY‘s zipcode. Nor is it one to The Velveteen Rabbit by Margery Williams Bianco in Project Gutenberg or even the model number of George Foreman’s Chrome Baby Grill on Amazon.co.uk. 11,757 is my total word count on the novel I’m working on for NaNoWriMo. That’s right — 88…
