Happy birthday to the lovely, delightful Freddie Baer: a talented artist, a sweet and wonderful person, and one of the few people I would be happy to lose Alice in Jungleland to at auction. 😀 Happy birthday, Freddie! You...

Y’know, after the sixth machine I put my floppy into started screwing up, I might start to think maybe it was me. Or my (virusy) floppy. I’m just sayin’. No, I’m really not getting much writing done, so you get virii and the pain of utilities....

Squee! I just bought the cutest house in the history of the known universe! In a Waffle House. (Atlanta, y’all.) I’m going to go hyperventilate now. Over a celebration dinner. Squee!

Between attempting to buy a house (OMG don’t ask! so evil!) and wrestling with a software package of evil for work (I came, I saw, I kicked its ass!), I have been getting darned near no writing done. Shame on me! In fact, I’m so exhausted that I’ve...

We went to Lowe’s to pick up a few things and fondle the building materials (especially flooring, because I loathe the barf-brown carpets), and, um… I have expensive taste. No, really. Yikes. It’s a good thing I’m planning on keeping my day...

And for my birthday, I may be buying a house. Well, “may.” I’m approved. And very anxious! Buying a house is scary stuff! It requires enough paperwork to choke a woolly mammoth! Oh, God, I know that at the actual closing I’m going to feel like...

‘Nuff said, really. June was the suck. I promptly sent out my rejected story to a new market, but that’s about it. I do still have two stories in progress, and am contemplating a TV script and a potential novel (meep!), but basically the month was spent on...

In August, 1991, I was a graduate art student in Texas. I’d recently acquired a tortoiseshell kitten from a little girl sitting in front of the local Kroger, a cute little turbocharged thing I named Persephone. I got her in the break between classes, and when I...

Today is Brian’s birthday! Happy birthday! Today is also the closing for Austin Heart of Film, but I mailed my script and Sallya on the 13th. Woohoo! *crosses fingers* I haven’t really written stuff since I finished the screenplay. Things are...

That story draft that was so sucktastic? I somehow managed to wrangle a couple of good paragraphs out of it. I thought it was probably “warmer” than the previous draft, and apparently I was right. In other news, I went for a run last night. It was about...
