All You Braincells Are Belongs To Us

Yes, I do know most of you won’t get that subject line. Sorry. It has a history I wouldn’t know how to explain.
Same token, I need to vent about something some of you will understand, some won’t. I call it the Free Radical Character. This is the character who has a very important part to [...]

Thirteen Movies I Can’t Watch While Writing
These movies have been banned from the DVD player while I’m trying to write:

1. The Godfather: I just can’t. Too hard not to watch this one.

2. The Ref: I love this movie. I love Denis Leary, too. Nothing but gawking and giggling will get done.

3. [...]

Mellow Monday

As predicted (no pun intended) the :8ball: was wrong on all counts. I got everything done except figuring out how to make an image clickable in php.
So I’m down to working on the next book, which leaves me with two poll questions:
1. Who’s hotter: Jason Statham, or Edward Norton?
2. What’s scarier: Someone with [...]

And There Was Much Rejoicing

Trick has made his way back to Immi, who will one day soon have something to do with her time. :teef: Cheeky little thing, isn’t she?
The book’s been sent off just in time for multiple birthdays, so I will be scarce this weekend while I eat too much cake and spoil the munchkins rotten.
Possibly [...]

Thirteen Words I Never Want to See Again
I’m copyediting. I’ve deleted or written around the following so many times, I could cry

1. That: It’s everywhere. It’s eve-ill.

2. Really: Why oh why do I love this word so?

3. Just: It was just about 10% of this manuscript.

4. About: The [...]

VooDoo Goat

I hate goats. We’re not talking a passing annoyance, here. We’re talkin’ can’t-stand-the-sight-of-their-unnaturally-pupillated-eyes hate. They’re ill-natured, ill-mannered, and eat the tags off baby strollers the moment your back is turned.
I don’t know what it says about me that I hate the virulent little buggers, and I suspect I wouldn’t care even if I did.
Knowing all [...]

The Week in Preview

I was making yet another to-do list for this week. :hemi:
Then I got bored. Thought I’d have some fun with it and consult the Magic Eightball sidebar gadget for the odds on me actually getting any of this stuff done.
1. Finish last bits of editing on Trick and get him passed back to Immi.
:8ball: [...]

No. For serious. It’s not a joke

They wear Berkenstocks in North Dakota, made by tree-huggin, politically correct Midgets.
I don’t know what’s funnier. The mascot itself, the mascot in conjunction to the town name, or just the whole damn thing in general.
No disrespect intended to the Midgets. This is just a bit startling for those of us out here in so-called civilized [...]
