W00t!

Posted in done, wip, writing | 4 Comments
….and at nearly 2 am on Sunday morning, the bitch is DONE. Rough draft is approximately 96, 531 words. I fully expect that number to change (hopefully higher) during editing. Holy Crap. I’m going to bed. Tomorrow, I play WoW. Monday, I write my pitch. Tuesday, RT. Wednesday, I conquer the world. *I am Spartacus*! *faceplants*… Read more

Home Stretch.

Posted in craft, wip, writing | 2 Comments
Ok, nearly 95k and counting on the WiP. I’m in the second to last chapter now and the last chapter has already been partially written. Between that and maybe a one or two page epilogue, I am just about finished. If all goes as it should, I’m aiming to have the rough completely done at some point on Sunday. It’s a strange feeling, knowing that I’m almost there. This last week in particular has been a bit surreal – I feel like I’m purposely slowing down in a way, almost like I’m trying *not* to finish. Which would be horribly stupid. 😉 I started writing the book last year, about this time, but I didn’t really *start* until mid fall (and then I didn’t really kick it in until this past January). The summer was mostly me fucking around – unsure and uncertain of what I was doing and where… Read more

What is Home?

Posted in Connor, home, house | 3 Comments
Been looking around my house a lot lately, trying to figure out why I’ve never really felt comfortable there. Even in our last house, I always felt like I was “visiting”. (Well, except for the dirty diapers and all that), but it’s a strange feeling to come home and think there’s some place else you belong. And I don’t mean that family-wise. Just that it doesn’t feel like *mine*. I sat and thought about it a bit, and I realized that so much of what we have – the furniture, the pictures, the decorative “stuff” that’s hanging about in bits and pieces – isn’t mine at all. And it never was. I’ve never really been furniture driven, for example. I like to look at it, but that’s about it. Mr myn loves window shopping for stuff – so, when it came down to it, for the most part I let… Read more

Whoa! Gypsy stuff!

Posted in costumes, gypsy, RT | 7 Comments
You know – looking for costumes for the upcoming RT balls has been really eye-opening. There’s a lot of stuff out there that I have no money for, but damn, you know – if I had the bucks and the body, I would totally buy some of this stuff. I have no idea if I would ever be able to pull off this sort of “look”, but the clothing is just so gorgeous. And I’m not a belly dancer either – never tried, but this site almost makes me want to sign up for a class. I’m totally going to steal some of these costume ideas for a character in a story somewhere. I don’t know which one, but I think I’m going to have to now. 😉 For all these cool outfits, go here –> https://www.velvetpeacockdesigns.com/ And on a completely unrelated note, I really like the hats these guys… Read more
