This week was vacation! Okay, really this coming week probably feels more like vacation. I mean, I only had Friday off and next week I have Monday and Tuesday off. Either way, I was lazy, I got nothing accomplished this week in terms of regular writing work. Now I feel bad. Probably because there is now a history of everything and saying how much I have not written thus far in the last three weeks or so at least. Does…
Due to some health shenanigans, that screwed up my sleep and pretty much everything else, I was unable to do much of anything this week. Instead of getting up early like I normally do – 6 am, I got up at 8 am and ran around getting ready for work every morning. Then after work, came home and did nothing productive for the entire evening. What came out of all of this is, that yes, I actually really do need…
I’m going to attempt weekly reports about how my week has gone with writing. My friend Nicki does this, though she also does dailies. I’ll start at weekly and see how it goes from there. I also feel if I keep track of what I do *somehow* I may see some actual progress because, hey I gotta get better then the previous week. At the moment, I don’t write/edit enough to warrant a daily report. So weeklies it is. Since…
Now that the A to Z challenge is done, I can actually think about other things. I threw this blog together so that I had somewhere to post stories for this. Also it got me a blog setup to by a writing presence. So that’s two for one right there. That there is a net win for me. If anyone had been wondering why the website looked a bit… under done, that’s why. I thew it together two days before…
Man, this is getting harder and harder to come up with different ideas. It’s certainly a good challenge. But there’s only 6 shorts to go. And I’m starting the week off behind. Yep. This will be the final crazy mad dash run. I can do this! Raw, stories – straight from brain to post.
Only two more weeks to go… 13 more shorts to go… and I’ve only got one of them pre-written. It’s going to be a full on mad dash from here to the end. Please pardon the mostly non-edited stories at this point. This has been quite fun so far. I just wish I had more time to visit other blogs also doing this crazy month long project. At least it’s getting me writing again. And then I can go back…
Vicky walked up to the pile of tires. Laying on several slept Avera. She had curled herself up into a small ball, her arms wrapped around her bent legs. Drool leaked from her open mouth. Vicky took one step closer. Avera’s left eye snapped open and located Vicky. “I always knew you were no mere mortal… but I had no idea that you were a cat,” Vicky said. Avera uncurled herself, rolled up onto her knees and palms before arching…
The noise started off quiet, unheard over the din of the shoppers as they milled in and out of shops, down vast arcade halls with a multitude of stalls, and marveled at the displays. In moments the sound became a low guttural grumble as the massive steam fed engines cranked out of idle. A small handful of people turned their heads towards the growing noise but continued their business. As the engines thundered to life, the rumbling pitched itself into…
This the real reason to be setting up a blog on such short notice. I was going to have this set up earlier, but there simply was no time. The theme I’m doing is about three employees who work in a mall. It’s rather boring stuff. I mean, it’s about a mall, how interesting could it possibly be? I hope I’m doing this all right! http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/
Greetings, fellow traveler. You may wonder what you are doing here. That is a good question. It may be perhaps that you have found yourself interested in some of the history and lore of Sari. As a fellow historian, you are in luck! For that is what this is all about. Now the texts of Sari have only been arriving to me piece by piece as interstellar travel is still somewhat limited here. Once I have the texts, it does…
