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 [...]

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 [...]

NaNoWriMo Eve is upon me and I find myself in a rather curious predicament. I’ve been spending the last couple of weeks talking up the novel-writing extravaganza on twitter, podcasts (okay, just the one), and via a prep article on murmur. There is no question in my mind that anyone who thinks it [...]

I updated the Murmurings tab on the site to include everything I’ve done on murmur.com since mid-August.
My favorites include a Gossip Girl recap where I mixed things up a bit and presented it like a transcript of what’s really going on. The format is a lot of fun to do, and it [...]

So, I’m stuck.
This happens every so often. I start craving a specific type of story and I can’t let it go. If whatever I’m currently reading doesn’t fit the bill, I can’t focus on it. I’ve started three books in the last few days, questing for the “right” combination of voice, plot, [...]

This crazy thing happened a few weeks ago on murmur: I was invited to partake in the podcasting portion of the site. Well, that’s not quite true. Every couple of weeks one of the staff members sends an email to the rest of us and asks who might be interested in joining the [...]

I quit World of Warcraft again.
It was past the point that my polite husband wanted to stage an intervention because he recognizes how fruitless that can be. The voices in my head were surreptitiously building a megaphone behind a Rita Hayworth picture and scattering the bits of scraps out in the garden. [...]

So I jumped onto my sad, neglected blog to post a bunch of links to the what I’ve been writing at Murmur over the past month(s), only to discover that i never told you I’m a staff writer at Murmur now.
that’s kind of a gross oversight on my part. sorry about that. that happened sometime [...]
