I don’t know where I pick it up. Some times I pick up bad habits of spelling things wrong that I know how to spell.
Like, today, for some reason I kept spelling relax as ‘releax’.
When I type, it is like I just think of the word and it automatically comes out of my fingers. A […]

This is sad.
It has three thick paragraphs at the beginning that’s all backstory. And when it gets to where the book actually starts, I wrote: “When the story starts…”
How pathetic is that? Wow I should read back what I write more often.
This synopsis stuff isn’t so easy. I’m going to have to do some more […]

I normally don’t pay any attention to it, but it is funny how my page rank can move from 4 to 2 and back again in two minutes. And my other websites will do that too. I seem to average around 4 but the numbers are often so wacky and change all the time, there […]

Mmm…. just as I plan on going on a diet. I get a box of really cool Belgian chocolates. Hey, I’m not complaining!
 I am going to dig in and do the website redesign today. I’ve been meaning to do that for a while and I have been neglecting it. I wont any more! I […]

I have to spend most of the day at the vet’s office today. So I’m taking with me a notebook and a regular book. I’m hoping I can spend a good deal of time writing while I am away. I also hope to record regular conversations. I don’t get the opportunity to go out, with […]

Holy crow, Batman. I’m tired.
I’ve been looking for more work. Yikes! As in, projects that would lead to a very nice chunk of change. As in more than a few hundred dollars.
 I have one like that right now, though I’m slow at getting started. I’m looking for more part time work with nonfic […]

I’ve been learning a new skill, how to make home made videos. No, it isn’t writing, but it is fun. I’m too durn shy to make those nice videos people make on YouTube. You know with the commentary and everything, so I’m just doing weird graphic stuff.
I’m thinking about making video tutorials on how to […]

Angela asked a great question about low paying writing jobs. How low is too low?
Some are appauld by the idea of working at $9 an hour, but it seems as if most of the writers agreed… they can be great for new writers.

So here’s what I’m thinking… competition for the low paying jobs might not […]

I’m not an artist. :p I’m at a job where there are training files. There are so many training files though, hundreds. I’m going through them all, but after two days of training…

I finally purchased a comfortable chair so I would feel better while sitting in front of the computer. Unfortunately soon after, there was a kitten born in the house. Guess which room was best suited for it? Yes, my office. So thought it might be better not to have a rolling chair, where I might […]
