SWEET REVENGE!!! Anyone who’s ever lived with a Maine Coon knows that they are… different. I know not everyone out there’s a cat lover or an animal lover. For me, living with animals is like breathing, and I don’t have a preference between cats and dogs. I just happen to have cats. I’ve had sweet […]

It’s been “cheesy” movie night here. I didn’t sleep well last night. I’ve had a lot on my mind the past couple of months, and even though I’ve tried to stay positive, seek the positive, the part of me that’s been unhappy has been, well… unhappy. I’ve been focusing on good things in my life […]

Awesome evening. I’m sitting here, drooling over the shepard’s pie I’ll be making tomorrow. So yum. This is a dish I make about once a week. Most of Christmas is packed up. I hit my limit with tripping over the furniture that gets moved to make room for decorations. But it means fully converting my […]

The joke is SO on me! A prank that wasn’t. Today, while at work, I answered the phone and nearly pissed myself. The tech that was calling, out of the blue mind you, sounded exactly like one of my closest friends. Tone, pitch, that slight gruffy undercurrent, wording, inflections. You name it. I thought it […]

Awesome new idea for a game came to me today. I’ve been keeping Survival: Worms in the back of my head for a bit. Needs work. This one? Survival: Chili. A faster game than Survival: Heaps. Still some sort of resource management, but it’s both cooperative and competitive at the same time. Can’t wait to […]

This morning at 0430, I was still awake, eating a grilled cheese, when I had that V8 moment. Why in the world would I want to be around people who stress me out when I’m seeking out fun and laughter? If I dread being around someone who has the patience of a gnat with it’s […]

Sighs. So torn right now. Giggles? Irritation? I’ve been trying to avoid things in my head for a while. That compartmentalization thing I’ve been mentioning. Usually, this works for me, to let go of bullshit. Not working right now. Neither is distraction. Although, what just happened is giving me quite the giggles. Humor has always […]

I’ve mentioned bubbles, in regards to writing, several times in these “answer questions” posts, so that’s what I want to focus on for this one. Bubbles are, to me, those moments where there is a sense of connection. They help set tone, pacing, emotional connection to the reader, and level of depth in the writing […]

We had a very nice holiday that will keep going all week. So happy about that. I’ll be going back to answering some of the questions I’ve had about why I do what I do. One of them is do I write every day and another is do I have a scripted plot outline. The […]
