Acceptance speech
I’ve received three awards in the past couple of months, and never got around to writing about it. So today, a big thank you to Kait, Simon and Wendy for thinking of me.
Kait and Simon both passed on the Superior Scribbler Award. Or, as Simon would prefer, the Superior Typist Award. But that just brings [...]

December looms
And I can’t wait.
I lost my temper this morning, but hopefully removed myself from the net before too much damage was done. But the event made me question where I spend my time, where I focus my energies.
Not on MY writing, that’s where.
So December is my time. I’ve joined the next Novel Push Initiative, and [...]

Why do we neglect those we care about?
It’s true. I am neglectful. On the list of jobs, those that belong to my friends get shuffled to the bottom, in favour of jobs for people who don’t know me at all. Because I know my friends will forgive me, while those strangers; clients, authors, publishers, will not.

A boost when I needed it most – thank you!
I’ve been miserable. Stressed. As I said on twitter; too many pies, not enough fingers. On top of that, wrestling with a new site. Getting hugely behind on replying to e-mails (sorry guys!) and not keeping up with my reading and critting.

Hubby (dear man) says [...]

Money [...]

My life according to ABBA
I found this fun little meme via KLC, and since I’m in a procrastinatory mood, decided to play.
Using only song names from ONE ARTIST, answer these questions. You can’t use the band I used. Try not to repeat a song title. It’s a lot harder than you think! Repost as “my life according to (band [...]

Stillborn stories
This week has not been one of the most stellar weeks. First off I lost about 10 chapters worth of crits and edits for my alpha reader. I don’t know how; whether it was idiocy on my part or some other event (but let’s be honest, the probabilities are leaning towards me doing something dumb). [...]

Turning off the net
I know I haven’t been saying much, but my net usage over the past week has been phenomenal, mostly due to the amazing experience that has been MCM’s 3D1D writing of Typhoon. It’s almost done now though, and while I am on the edge of my seat, waiting to find out if Yuri lives, if [...]
