A reiteration to the orange cat and the grey cat
As previously discussed - dead mice = ick and gross and ewww and you'd been fed, you feline fiends. Headless mice do not make mama happy and you are even more too old to be engaging in such behaviour as you were the first time. Trust me, I will think more highly of...
Revision update
So around the cooking, there was also writing...finally I feel like the story might be starting to behave again. Progress - Wolf 2 revision Revised pages - 44 (no real new pages, didn't quite make it to the next scene that need inserting) Intriguing things - Actually...
Sunday afternoon cooking
I think I've mentioned that the always ace VT gave me a slow cooker for my birthday, so I've been experimenting with it over the last few months and for the last few weeks have been cooking up a batch of something on sunday afternoons that mostly gets me through the...
Reporting back
Okay, so I waded my way through writing a scene that needed to be inserted and am now at 104, so not quite ten pages but given it was all new stuff, not too bad, if a little slow. Tomorrow I can re-slant the next scene for what I've changed, then maybe write the other...
Metric desperation
Okay, I've had it. This is officially turning into a revision from hell. The girls have basically said "we told you what to do" and gone walkabout while I do it. So I'm going back to the metric system. I'm aiming for minimum 10 pages a day revised (and hoping it will...
Slow
This week has been busy at work (really four days flew by at warp speed) so I was in get home, eat dinner and collapse on the couch mode. Combine that with a few hot nights where I didn't sleep too well and a sudden cool change and yesterday I woke up needing a day...
It’s a little easy being green
Apparently the smell of crockpot lasagne makes me feel bloggy. I do my bit to be green but lately have been trying to work out ways to be even greener. I've had green power for a while, use low flow showers heads etc and all my lightbulbs are the energy efficient ones...
Different strokes
People say there are two types of writers - those who plot and those who don't. But I think there's also two other types - those who hate first drafts and like to revise and those who love drafting but hate revising. I don't know that I hate revising but for me...
Size does matter
I don't buy many authors in hardback. For one thing, hardbacks are pretty ridiculously expensive here ($45 upwards). An author had to be in the I-absolutely-cannot-wait-even-to-get-it-at-the-library category for me to shell that out. At the moment, that category...
One more thing
Last election related post, I promise. But I've been reading about the reactions of various people I know and a lot of them seem to be having the "I can't quite believe it's real" kind. I'll freely admit that I am a West Wing geek (which makes no sense given my...
