The edge of this mid-west
January 31st 2002 at 6:50 am
The edge of this mid-west winter storm coming through is near where I live. We’re getting medium (2-3 inches) freezing rain, some hail, slightly slippery roads. And so on. Tonight I drove home from work carefully, keeping the Celica in fourth gear so I wouldn’t unconsciously go much faster than 50, and I kept trying […]
Another day… didn’t get started
January 29th 2002 at 6:14 am
Another day… didn’t get started early or anything today, as I spent most of it working on taxes. Got most of it done, just a couple small things I need to add, and then I can e-file and have that off my mind.Then I got to writing. I’ve got some stuff fairly well charted, so […]
24,000 In
January 28th 2002 at 7:30 am
Well, up to a lot this weekend. Didn’t do as much writing as I’d hoped for, I mucked about most of Saturday wiping and repartitioning the iMac so I could remap the virtual memory to a swap drive and speed it up a bit. Why? It was good writing avoidance, and I want the iMac […]
Seriously though: if anyone has
January 25th 2002 at 6:54 am
Seriously though: if anyone has a copy of the latest SF Chronicle with the Book of All Flesh review in it, can they copy out the paragraph with the review of my story ‘Trinkets’ in it. I actually have a valid reason for needing this. I’m going to buy a copy of SFC as soon […]
Progress: 22,000
January 24th 2002 at 2:42 am
Spent Tuesday night in front of the keyboard to add 1740 words to the novel making it total 20,942. A bit more than necesary, but I wanted to get through 20K and momentum going towards 30. That will continue tonight.Tonight I wrote 882 words after dinner break, and then added 295 when I took a […]
Con hopping: I hit up
January 22nd 2002 at 7:35 pm
Con hopping: I hit up confluence this weekend, wherein I had panels (2 with Gene Wolfe, fun) with various people, and discussions and all the usual fun that goes along with cons. Hung out with neat people like Charles Finlay, David Klecha, and Stephen Leigh (who has a picture of me up on his site […]
Missing writing on the 15th.
January 17th 2002 at 5:37 am
Missing writing on the 15th. Got home and was doing some weird research on splinter religions and cults in the 0-100AD area that had christian similarities (there are a surprising lot of them). Couldn’t sleep thanks to this damn illness, and then finally shook a cough and bedded down one of the radio alarm clocks […]
16,400 Into Novel
January 14th 2002 at 6:30 am
Okay, hit 1243 after taking an hour to watch part of Jacki Chan movie (I have weaknesses, fun martial arts movies one of many) and I’m totally caught up on owed segments. 16,400 into Crystal Rain.Again, nothing spectacular, but it is fairly consistent day in and day out, so I’m happy.Also have some sketched out […]
Well my journal commenting system
January 14th 2002 at 4:29 am
Well my journal commenting system went down for a couple days. It’s a third party thing I’m using with Blogger (which reminds me I need to link a ‘blogger powered’ icon at the bottom). Hopefully it’ll load faster and be okay now.Added a few words since the last time. Nothing done Friday or Saturday as […]

January 10th 2002 at 5:08 am
Wrote an even 1000 words tonight to bring Crystal Rain up to 14,530 words. Getting real close to bringing this section of the novel to a close (part 1).Was going to do more now that i’m home, but I’m feeling tired, looking at bed with longing, and thinking I’ll pack it in for the night. […]
