two weeks of #100DaysOfWriting

January 17, 2018

Okay, okay, it was two weeks until yesterday, but it’s close enough. Today’s day 15 (assuming I can count, which I couldn’t last week when I gave us two Day Eights…), and I’ve managed to write every day, which is pretty unusual for me. I’ve done about…mmm. 7000 words, which isn’t really very many (particularly after last month’s, what, 65K+ and November’s …65K…?) but, you know, possibly the 120K in the past two months is taking its toll. Although really it’s more that I’ve… So my projects this month were…

Marvel Movie Marathon: Iron Man

January 16, 2018

Marvel Movie Marathon: Iron Man: omg I had somehow managed to forget the sheer level of asshole Tony was in the first part of Iron Man. Back in 2006 or whatever when Marvel said they were floating an Iron Man movie, I, an X-Men fan who never cared much about the Avengers, was like “why would anybody make a movie about a 2nd tier character like Iron Man that nobody cares about anyway.” Ted, who is much more of an Avengers fan, objected strenuously to “2nd tier” and argued in…

Revamping my Patreon!

January 15, 2018

One of my big projects for 2018 is Revamping My Patreon, which has now largely been accomplished. First off, of course, I’ve been running a Patreon a while now, and you’ll find short stories, book proposals, even whole novel drafts here, immediately available when you become a patron. But I’m offering lots of new fun stuff this year! I’ll be writing individual pieces of flash fiction, ranging from up to 250 words all the way to stories of 10K in length on commission, so you get what you ask for!…

a-gardening we go

January 12, 2018

I got this quite splendid little 2 story grow house from Ikea for Christmas, mostly because I have a handful of cute tiny little orange trees I started growing at the end of last summer and they were getting too cold and very sad and miserable and I wanted somewhere bright and cosy for them. Of course, part of the reason they were becoming sad is that they needed repotting, so this morning I very bravely repotted them. I’m not good at repotting things, so I’m very proud of myself.…

several 100 dayses

January 11, 2018

We’re up to day 8 of our #100DaysOfWriting. So far I’ve had a couple days where I’ve really ONLY done 100 words, but I haven’t missed one yet! I suspect I feel a sense of obligation due to having ended up sort of spearheading the 100 Days effort here, but that’s really good for me. It’s made me get things done on days I wouldn’t have otherwise (including today…). I’m also working–well. Sort of working toward. Several other 100 Days projects. 100 days of DuoLingo, just because I’m most of…
