bras & weight loss

September 7, 2016

I have, through no particular effort of my own, lost somewhere between 20-25 pounds in the past year. Mostly it’s just that I’ve been eating less. Not well, certainly, just less. Not exercising more, either. Just eating less. Basically for the first time in my life I’ve been stress not-eating instead of stress eating. Anyway, so I’ve lost a fair amount of weight, and my bras have not been fitting well at all. So a week or two ago I bought new bras, and people suddenly started saying, “Wow, you’ve…

Attack Kickstarter: Atlantis Fallen print edition!

September 6, 2016

I’d told everybody I didn’t want to run a Kickstarter for the ATLANTIS FALLEN print edition until I at *least* had REDEEMER off to the editor, to whom it went a couple of weeks ago. Then it turned out that both my cover artist and book designer were free to turn a project around quickly, so I have launched a SUDDEN ATTACK KICKSTARTER!!! It’s a super low-key Kickstarter by my standards: it’s got one simple goal, which is financing the ATLANTIS FALLEN print edition. Why Kickstarter? Because I’ve found out…

August 31, 2016

Yesterday was actually Deirdre’s birthday, so we had a party for her.

I…

Deirdre’s 40th

August 28, 2016

My sister had her birthday party planned for last night, and after a bit of angsting decided to go ahead with it despite the circumstances. I think that was absolutely the right choice, and it was a busy, loving gathering… …even if Deirdre did show up two hours later for her own party. It was worth it, actually, because it was a costume party, themed Cyborgs, Angels, Fairies and Superheroes, and she came as a cyborg (we’re half cyborg now, you know, since Dad had his brain surgery. that’s how…
