For those of you who have read the last two blogs,
For those of you who have read the last two blogs, and wondered when the heck did this blog go politic, I apologize. Not about what I wrote, but just that if this blog is supposed to be a refuge from the crap out there, the last thing you want to read about is more politics. So, in that spirit . . . I did eleven pages on Saturday morning. Yea! I'm sort of hitting a rhythm. Today I get to visit the hallway of mortality (the torture chamber for the Unseelie court). It should be interesting, and disturbing,… Read More

Okay, I’ve been talking to a lot of people
Okay, I've been talking to a lot of people lately that are feeling very anxious. Anxious about real problems, or just anxious in general. It's almost like it's some sort of contagion of anxiety, and mild depression. Everywhere I go; people are worried about their jobs, or lack of them. Everyone is worried that if Bush is reelected that a draft will be put in, and it will not exempt only children, because there aren't enough households without them. Women will be included, but the thing that really has most people worried is the age being raised, so that… Read More

The constitutional amendment
The constitutional amendment to preserve marriage. First, I wasn't aware that marriage was in danger of disappearing. Most of the people I know are, or have been, married. I'm sure it's the same with you. So why, the amendment? It isn't about marriage, or even family values, though that's what they are hiding behind. This amendment is about fear. It's about distracting us with an emotional issue, so we won't notice that the economy is in the toilet. That we all know more people out of work now, then we did before President Bush got into office. That we… Read More

It’s a great day for writing.
It's a great day for writing. Woke to thunder and lightning, and then the deluge. A stormy, rainy day, dark and drear. I've always loved days like this. The sound of the rain has always been a comforting sound for me. I'm not always as fond of storms, but this morning it was a good sign. I'm writing a scene with Mistral today. Mistral is a French word for wind, or a particular kind of wind. Some of you may remember him from the end of the last Merry book, Seduced by Moonlight. He is the master of storms,… Read More

Okay.
Okay. I've had a little break. Jonathon has helped me lick my wounds. The dragon does not get to win. I have recovered my flag from the field of battle, and tomorrow is another day. As long as you don't give up, you don't lose, and the other guy doesn't win. Whether dragon, ogre, or your own personal inner struggles. Jonathon, Trinity, and I watched "Fruits Basket"(a delightful anime), while we had dinner. It's almost impossible to stay grumpy after watching an episode or two. The main character makes Pollyanna look like a pessimist. Combine that with cute guys, some truly wonderful characters, and… Read More

Hey.
Hey. Eight pages yesterday. Cool. But only three today. I got seven pages of notes, but I don't count notes. Notes aren't pages that will stay in the book, and what stays is what counts. Obviously, I have not yet hit my stride on this book. I mean twenty-four pages, eight, then three, oh, and a day of one in there on Saturday. I'm all over the board, which means I'm still struggling. It's just struggling with a higher page count, and I'm happy with the pages I've got. They're good pages. I'm just frustrated by the stop and… Read More

Hi all,
Hi all,
I'm trying out a new piece of software. It is a voice recognition dictation software, and sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. It seems to have trouble with my voice sometimes and sometimes not. I don't know what the difference is between when it works and when it doesn't. One if I could tell it would change my speech patterns so that I wouldn't have this problem but since I don't know what the problem is... I can't fix it.
Here's hoping I can get disputed software to work.
