Dreams and Portents and Pain

Posted in back pain, blog, dreams, pain pain pain and more pain, stupid back, updates | 1 Comment
I couldn’t fall asleep last night. Even though I was completely exhausted from staying up the night before to do the edits, I just couldn’t seem to shut down. When I did manage to fall asleep I dreamed I was mixing cement in some sort of giant mixer. I don’t actually know what I was tossing in there, but I just kept pouring and mixing. Apparently my mother was there and she warned me to stop before it was too late, but in the end I ruined it and a man came and took whatever I’d come up and threw it away. Yeah, no inner message *THERE* or anything. Still. I’m trying not to think on the edits much and turn back to writing book 3. Which apparently needs a title. Like now. Also ended up with another round of shots in the spine today. After 20 of the little… Read more

Well-Adjusted Monkeys

Posted in blog, updates | 1 Comment
Not much going on for a Friday – just playing catch up around the house and working from home. (Which is nice to be able to do sometimes.) I’ve got some last bits of a beta read to do – and a few small revisions on the teaser chapter for BoD 3. (Which is also going to need a title here. Gah I’m so bad at that. A Smattering of Smut?) Otherwise, I’m going to be in Philly next week for the Authors After Dark convention (though I have to miss Thursday due to other commitments). But I’ll be on a few panels on Friday and Saturday. (I’ll post the schedule next week.) In the meantime, A Sliver of Shadows is now available for pre-order on Amazon and B&N (no Kindle or Nook yet, but I’m sure those will be coming as it gets closer to the pub date.) No… Read more

Feels Like Monday Morning

Posted in blog, monday boo, rambly, updates | 2 Comments
It’s a bit early for me to be blogging, but it’s Monday and I’m cranky for some reason. Better out than in, right? Nothing I can put my finger on, really. I’ve had an inner agitation for days, but I don’t know why. Like another shoe is going to drop somewhere, though I have no frame of reference for it. I’m really hoping it’s nothing at all. (And it probably is nothing – two more days from now I’ll get distracted and forget I ever felt like this.) I’ve been trying to channel some of this through writing some shorts – did a few last week, though a number of them won’t see the light of day. Just little personal scenes to help me work through some stuff as well as some brainstorming. (And one very short little smutty fanfic that I released into the wilds. Just because.)So maybe it’s… Read more

Home Again, Home Again

Posted in blog, updates | 3 Comments
There’s something really nice about being able to sleep in your own bed after being gone for two weeks. (And okay, technically I was home last Monday for the day, but I was so busy getting ready for my next trip I’m not sure it really counted.) I was so tired by the time I got home last night that I pretty much just staggered around the house and eventually crashed into oblivion. (Comes of the night before which involved 1) Getting a tattoo until 1 am. 2) Walking around Times Square for a while after that 3) Getting back to my room only to find the new neighbors awake and arguing very loudly for at least an hour 4) Roomie getting up 3 hours later to catch her flight 5) Friend texting me at 6:45 AM to ask me what I wanted to do for breakfast. >_< I did… Read more

Meh.

Posted in blog, dragon age, sick, updates | Leave a comment
Clearly I didn’t blog today. Partially this is because Dragon Age 2 has taken over my world at night. Late nights make me bleary and unable to put thoughts together. *ahem* (And by the way? Trying to rivalmance emo elf-warrior Fenris and having the romance portion not go through correctly? Sucks. He turned against me and I had to kill him. *sobs* Also, btw? The whole “I have no memory, but I have all these lyrium tattoos all over my body that help me kill and I didn’t ask for them” routine? Um. Wolverine much?) But mostly because yes, yours truly is now being treated for strep. Bleah. So. Yeah. Massive headache at the moment and all that other fun stuff, but I got my meds and some fruit juice and I suspect I’m off to go pass out for a while. *cough* Assuming I don’t roll up a mage… Read more
