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 [...]

I suppose this could use a bit of setup. We had a few adventures last week while at the Robertson’s Cottages up in Door County, WI, including a moth that never left the base of the toilet and an uninvited flying rodent. It also turns out that our cottage was once home [...]

It all started with a someecard my husband jokingly set me. Not only did it serve to remind me that Lent follows Mardi Gras (something I seem to forget year to year), but it got me thinking: what would life be like if I gave up the internet?
Before I could get very far in [...]

After the initial positive reception and kick-start feeling I received on murmur.com I planned on posting about once a week. I jotted down ideas, I wrote stuff down. I got distracted by Fable 2 and turned that into a murmur post instead of other things I had sitting on my hard drive 50-75% [...]

last month i “wrote” this novel. really i smashed out 50,000 words that loosely tell about 1/3 of the story that by the end of it, i wanted to tell. maybe 1/2. it’s hard to tell. what i know is that it’s largely about one woman, with two supporting women and what i [...]

i crossed the 50k mark with about 20 minutes to spare before dinner was served on thanksgiving day. i hadn’t intended to write, but there was a lull in the morning and i needed some decompression time (large groups of family in a house that’s not my own makes me a bit skittish if [...]

about 4500 words “left” to write. i’m racing to be able to type “the end” as much as i’m racing to finish the word count. it won’t feel like i’ve “won” unless there’s a clear end to the story by the end of the month. i should have no trouble reaching the [...]

I’m all caught up!
I averaged about 2500 words a night for the last 4 nights and smashed through to 35,000+ words. Only 15k to go, and that’ll be a walk in the park. I wasn’t sure if i was going to get caught up before the clock stuck tomorrow, but i skipped a [...]
