I started working my current job on October 10th, after quitting Yahoo on October 1st. Technically, my two month mark was on December 10th, but I held back mentioning it until I had my one-on-one with my boss. According to him, I’m doing a lot better than he thought I would. This is in light …

Experiences in Refuse
Today’s Holidailies prompt is: “Your best experience getting rid of something.” Okay, is it just me, or are the prompts this year just not getting it done? I don’t even know where to begin to answer this prompt, because when I get rid of stuff, it’s usually not an experience to be remembered. I guess, …

Holidailies 2007
For those of you who have been reading my blog for at least a year, you know that I participated in Holidailies last December. Holidailies is a month-long blogging version of NaNoWriMo, but instead of writing a novel, you have to blog once a day, every day of the month. I liked the concept of …

Another Plea
Last week (and the week before that) I mentioned that I was trying to raise money for The Office of Letters and Light. The Office is the wonderful group that runs National Novel Writing Month, which I have participated (and won) the last three years. In the time I have written under NaNoWriMo, The Office …

Monday Grumbling

NaNoWriMo 2007: Day Two
I did 4,450 words today. I’m starting to get into a part of the story where I’m going to need to stop and take a look at my outline or something. Because I’m starting to feel that part of writing where I’m not sure where I’m going, just yet. Knight Commissioned 10250 / …

NaNoWriMo 2007: Day One
I woke up early to put a major dent in my NaNovel this morning and ended up with nearly 6,000 words. I love it when the writing just flows out like a water faucet, except it seemed more like a damned fire hose, to me. Unfortunately, right around 7am, the source dried up because I …

Writing: Need Opinions, please
I’ve been tinkering around with following up a short story I wrote three years ago. In order to really provide a proper frame of reference, that short story is located here: Agamemnon: http://fiction.hopestation.net/viewstory.php?sid=1&chapter=1 The novella I’m working on has the first chapter done, and it is located here: The Sacrifice of Agamemnon: http://fiction.hopestation.net/viewstory.php?sid=7 I know …
