And I’m so far behind…gah! I have no one to blame but myself. I have started, in fact the first day started off really well I got over the recommended daily goal. But then the second day came and I had to go to class and I just got sidetracked. And then yesterday I got [...]


One week before NaNo starts…seven days…168 hours (give or take)…jeez where did October go? I’ve got to get cracking. Let’s see I did change stories. My new story is based on the Snow White fairy tale, sort of. It’s because they’ve been playing those stupid commercials about the remastering of the Disney version, and so [...]


I’m changing stories. I can’t help it I just am. I’m just not ready to work on Mistaken Identity. In fact I’m just gonna wing it. Well sort of. I know the general idea of what I want to work on. I’m just not gonna do any planning out cause then I’ll get bogged down [...]

Mac Kegor

Now that I find myself with a computer of my own I just don’t know what to do with myself. I mean I’ve been with one for just over a year. I think I lost Shiba-chan back in October of last yeah and now I have Mac Kegor. It’s weird. I know I said I [...]


…I shouldn’t have left you without a nice blog to read through!
So here’s the deal, I am not feeling DYTCiYC. I have to come to the realization that it’s not writer’s block that is keeping me from working on that story, because I find myself wanting to write on everything but that story. Everytime I [...]
