Experiments in Sharing Space

So far the experiment is a failure. I’m hanging in there, though. It seemed like a good idea. Hope has always been told that my office is “the quiet room,” so as long as it’s been an office, I’ve been training her to behave in here. (Training, I said. I didn’t say I’d succeeded.) So. […]

Got Gatchaman?

Okay, when I watched it, it was Battle of the Planets. And when I see it now, I wince. How could I have loved it so? But there was a time when 7 a.m. every Sunday, found me creeping downstairs to beat the tv into submission, trying valiantly to capture that channel that could be

I’m tracking my manuscript online. It’s fun, but what I really need, is to be able to track it once it arrives at DAW.

Don't Mind Me

I’m just killing time, trying to avoid working on my novel. It’s within a day of being ready to send out, you see. And I’m scared shitless. But I gotta do it. So enough blogging, it can be neglected one more day. Maybe I’ll start writing more once I get it sent. I wish DAW

Like-Minded People

It’s good to have a place I can go and say, “I hate the entire world. Yes, that includes you. I wish everyone would go away.” It doesn’t happen, but it’s good to be able to say it. And to know that everyone I say it to, knows EXACTLY what I mean.
