One step along the way
November 29th 2001 at 5:06 am
One step along the way knocked down: I finished the synopsis and outline for the proposal. Now I’m on to slice down the second chapter a bit, add a 3-400 word in the first piece, and see how I feel after I print it all out.Did I mention I’m very happy with the synopsis? Well […]

Attack of the $6 Burger:On the way home tonight, tired and somewhat hungry, with the prospect of lots of little things that I need to get done tonight, I treated myself to a coke and a burger at the Hardees on the way home. I started getting bad vibes when the guy in the window […]

A nice thanksgiving. Emily and I went up to her parents’ house in Toledo and hung around. I got absolutely nothing done and lazed around, checked email twice, and then we came back.In the email was a note from Neverworlds that they are taking a reprint of mine for the lead spot in their next […]

Yay for RSI! Along with the ‘back to average’ writing amounts I’ve done I’ve also seen the return of pain in my hands from too much mousing and typing. So I’m being more careful about some of my posture. I’ve got the iBook tilted forward for typing, and am sitting properly etc, which helps a […]

Ahhh. Success. I finished the rewrite of Kalikuata, and got the alternate ending. I’m much more satisfied emotionally with the new ending. I mailed it out. Now we’ll see whether the editor thinks it is what they need in that particular instance.So. That project is out of the way. Have to look and see what’s […]

Today brings a very quick and cordial rejection from Sci-Fi.com. Ellen Datlow said it wasn’t at all bad, but she didn’t like it enough to buy it for the site.Also found out that two of my Clarion class-mates sold to Realms of Fantasy, Hilary and Tom. Far out guys :-)Kalikuata just about threw me a […]
We just got a robot
November 12th 2001 at 9:58 pm
We just got a robot puppy. Not a Sony Aibo, but one of those cheap ones you see in the kid’s section of Wal-Mart (Tekno-puppy). Emily had fun setting it up. It’s kind of wild. Of course, I would love to grab some spare parts and make one that runs off the wireless LAN in […]
Sorry for the doubled journal

Sorry for the doubled journal entry (and a long boring one too) but I seem to have hit the post button twice on my Post Journal Entry to web script

Writing often involves tools. My main tool is an iBook. Other tools include; a desk, several pens in a can, headphones, ripped pieces of paper, and course, my own blood, sweat, and tears.
But onto the iBook. Over the past five years I have come to depend on computers to get me through life. I can […]
So I wrote this really
November 8th 2001 at 5:18 am
So I wrote this really long journal entry in response to Vera’s journal entry and the whole networking thing (and lost it, so here it is again;). To make a long entry short, basically I said I agree that one should write what they -want- to write and not write b/c they think this is […]
