This is the feed for my blog. I update the blog... occasionally? What's a phrase for "Not Terribly Frequently" that makes me sound busy rather than lazy? "When the mood strikes?", "As time allows?", "Every fortnight?" Hmmm.
I update the blog as much as I can. I'm writing, you know.
Done! I’m done with the first draft of the steam punk novel and I’ve begun revisions for the next draft. So far, it has been easy going, at least for the revisions of the first 20 or so pages. I’ve eliminated about 5 pages, but…
Finally got my laptop up and running! Looks like I’ve managed to recover most, if not all, of my documents. Oddly, the backup I did isn’t allowing me to recover my version of Word. I had to dig out a really old version, which kind…
I know it’s Halloween night. Kids are out trick or treating, there’s parties and such, but I’ve got several hours to myself and I’ve secreted myself away to take advantage of it by writing.I know it’s rather anti-social, but I take my time when I…
Ah yes, progress on the work in progress is… progressing. I’m so close to the halfway mark I can taste it. And it tastes like cookies. Warm, fresh-from-the oven chocolate chip, macadamia nut, double fudge cookies. What was I talking about? Writing? Really? Ok. Things…

I’ve given up on making excuses as to why I can’t get my Wednesday update posted somewhere around, I don’t know, Wednesday. Things happen, right? Call the the Mid-ish Week Update if that keeps you from throwing things. The book couldn’t be going better. I…
I’m finally getting back into some sort of schedule. I’ve been writing at lunch (actually taking a lunch is a victory at this point!) again. Getting anywhere from 200 to 500 words out some days. That isn’t much, but it really got me this far,…
Cruising right along on this Work in Progress Wednesday update. I got some writing/editing done on other projects, but still managed to get close to 2 thousand words since last week. I hope I can dedicate a little more writing time just to the book…
Thought I’d try to post my novel progress on Wednesdays as part of Work In Progress Wednesdays. Thanks to Kate Karyus Quinn for linking everyone together to share their work and for the excellent logo. I managed to get about 1800 words out yesterday thanks…
