In the middle of the night Saturday night/Sunday morning there was a very loud boom outside. And then nothing. It was odd. Usually if there’s a crash of some sort, there are residual sounds. People yelling, debris falling, trucks backing up from whatever they crashed into, etc etc. I don’t want [...]

So…yeah. Last week was a doozy. I’m tired of making excuses and all, but man. it sucked. I thought I was going to have all these opportunities to write and get caught up, but as the week went by (and I fell and I recovered and I felt better and I took [...]

Well, crap.
It turns out that I’m much better suited to giving something up than adding something in. I can handle the “withdrawal” issues of giving up chocolate or internet, or soda (not caffeine mind you, with true withdrawal issues) much easier than forcing myself to spend 30 minutes each day writing. [...]

“It wasn’t my fault,” I’d say to St. Peter if he called me on how well I did this first week.
“I was in Vegas for the first few days. I tried, but there was so much–”
“Sin?” he’d ask with one eyebrow arched as he jotted a note down with his quill on [...]

There are lots of things I could go without for a while. A few weeks ago I realized that I’d let the Internet take hold of me and considered another 40 day purge. This produced a surprising reaction in a few friends who reminded me that at the end of it I was [...]

I’m in a foul mood because I’m filled the the sense that something needs to drastically change. And I hate change, so I try to dig in my heels to avoid it until there’s so much “stuff” in the way (mentally and physically) that a pre-change outburst is immanent.
Fine. Call it a temper-tantrum. [...]

A funny thing happened on the way to my 2009 Nanonovel: Life. Literally.
I’m a little bit pregnant, and unfortunately for nanowrimo, it’s the stage of pregnancy where I’m at my most exhausted and my most unmotivated. To say nothing of the 24/7 nausea that prevents me from doing much of anything except willing it [...]

if you’ve heard enough, just move on.
so this guy died last week. well, lots of folks died last week, really, which is pretty creepy to me, but this one guy in particular. his name was michael jackson. he did a lot of crazy things in his life, and if you were alive and [...]

It started like it had many times before. Charlotte spied the open door to our bedroom and scooted inside. To be “helpful”, she closed the door behind her. No big deal. This happened almost every time the door gets left open, which is several times a week. I sauntered over [...]

There are ghosts in my house.
It’s not unheard of, I suppose. I live in a converted 100 year old building that used to be a dry goods warehouse. A lot of lives have passed through this place. If you believed in ghosts, it’s the sort of place you might expect to find [...]
