Crazy Cat Lady of Email

Posted in blog, email, ugh | 2 Comments
So apparently I have email issues.  Or specifically email *hoarding* issues. And I don’t mean a little bit. I mean, I took an hour to clean my inbox last night…because I was looking for some interview questions I owe some people. After that hour? I still had 40k messages in my inbox. Of which 11k were unread. (That was down from 18k unread, btw. And probably about 60k in the inbox.) And that doesn’t even count the ones actually filtered into specific folders. All those mailing lists and such .(Although I took a large step over the summer and switched to digest for most of them, so at least that little bit has cut down.) The rest of it? Eh – a fair amount of spam that I guess I just never got around to deleting, but it’s more than that. There’s all the stupid stuff like ads from places… Read more

Stepping Out

Posted in blog, exercise, pain, weight | 3 Comments
A few years ago I managed to drop about 25 pounds or so. Mostly a combination of Weight Watchers and just limiting my overall food intake. I didn’t even really exercise – mostly because of chronic pain issues. Due to moments of high stress over the last year or so, I’ve slowly gained at least 10 pounds. Which isn’t a huge deal in the grand scheme of things – I can hide it well enough, but I don’t really want to go there for too long. Besides it’s gone from ooh, bigger boobs to…ick. I’m getting a little tired of the status quo so I’m going back on the diet bandwagon for a while. Always hard to do during holiday season because it’s so easy to say “just one more slice of pie,” but I don’t really want to start this in another month either. (And yeah, I’ll still make… Read more

Changing My Ways

Posted in blog | Tagged , , , , | 2 Comments
I’ve almost always been a hard-core panster. I don’t like outlines. I barely keep track of anything going on with my stories or characters except for what’s in my head. Something about writing it down tends to destroy the urge to actually continue with the story. On the other hand, it tends to mean I have a more work to do with my revisions. Mini-plots that went nowhere. Extra characters that are…extra. But the beauty of word processing and the multitude of edits involved with the production of a book do allow for changes to be made, often until a few weeks before actual printing. (Assuming by that point it’s small stuff. If it’s not? Well, then I’ve probably got bigger problems than a few typos.) But, as I’m working on drafting the first issue of the web-comic (in between wrapping up the draft of A Trace of Moonlight*), I’m… Read more

I don’t even know why the hell I’m posting this except for the fact that my kids and I have been running around the house shouting “CIRCLETINE!” at each other all day. Sharing the love, y’all.… Read more
