I’ve been really enjoying not shopping at Amazon. We have Prime. Lots of people have Prime. But right now, Prime for physical goods doesn’t matter because right now Amazon (with all apologies) is telling us unless it’s essential it’s not coming in a day or two days or even three. They’re overwhelmed. And (ostensibly) protecting …
The other side of the decade. How you got here, I still don’t know. Today you decorated a butterfly mask. Tomorrow is bigger to you than Christmas. You already know what you’re going to wear. I’m pretty sure your ensemble includes that butterfly mask. You don’t yet know the flavor of your cake, though you’ve …
And in case the graphic isn’t loading: I’ve started a NaNoWriMo novel. Not set in any previous universe. Just flirting with some ideas. Trying to find something that’ll drive me.

I think. I’m worried it’s not hooky enough. Eh. I know better than to worry too much about that at this stage. I took a couple right turns between one day to the next, which means I actually wrote half again what I needed. I used to keep these bits of unused writing, but after …
I really love nectarines, and this is the best time of year for them. Yum. I wrote today, and I wrote yesterday, in one of the three projects. On non-writerly-related writing, I also am working on a new campaign setting for my D&D campaign. I’ve never thought about publishing any of my campaigns…but I kind …
Anyway, more writing. Night!
Is good. A few small errors that are easily remedied. I have decided more or less that once I pay off the furnace (last year’s WTF? expense), I’m getting a laptop. Because with a laptop, I could be upstairs and writing. And I am a spoiled capitalist American swine.
A few paragraphs tonight. More drama needed. I’ve been watching ER reruns fairly religiously the last few months, and I admire there amazing ability to turn the beat around with some well-timed drama. I can only imagine the script writers sitting around with a scene and some senior writer saying, “Now, have her do THE …
