Friday the Thirtieth

Yeah, Friday the Thirtieth just doesn’t have the same ring to it. Today, despite the fact that Bly hasn’t remembered to nag, I added 700 words to Semantics.  I had asked her opinion, she said she didn’t feel it was missing anything.  But I felt it needed a little more, and my writing is the […]

June Twenty-Ninth

What was I going to say?  I don’t remember.  Oh, now I do.  Today was the deadline, I was to have decided if I was adding to Semantics or not.  And the decision is–yes.  I think it needs a wee bit more. Once the decision was made, however, I was supposed to stop working on

Smart Mouth

“Can you work a little harder at being annoying?” I asked.  A little harsh, yeah, but you have no idea what she was up to before that weary sarcasm slipped from me. “I can,” Hope answered, “if you want me to.” She’s so mine. 19,305 words.  That’s about 600 of forward progress.  *sigh*  yes, Hope

Whee!!

I love the organic way my stories grow.  I do think about the plots some, but not that much.  It’s more a matter of casting my play with interesting people–then writing down what they do. BJ thinks it’s hysterical that I write that way.  She knows how it ends before she begins.  Bly thinks it’s

Visiting

I thought it was a natural assumption.  For at least ten years, when Grandma said be there at four, it was because we were having dinner with them. Oops. I blame Hope.  She wanted to make a phone call, I told her to call my grandparents.  She told Grandma she was calling to make arrangements
