Okay, boys and girls, it’s That Time Of Year again. Once again, let me suggest that prints are a great Christmas present for all the weirdos on your list. The vast, vast majority of my art is available in print form, and they come signed, and with the little stories on request (either on the […]

I have been virtuous. 10,300 words, 1/5th of the way done, a day before schedule (and nothing like 1/5th of the way into the story, I fear…) I can’t say it’s great writing, but the important thing is to get the words down. I can go back and make them better words later, or hack […]
I had 8400 words on Nanowrimo, and then James bought me Neverwinter Nights 2. Sigh. On the bright side, Ben’s been a regular snugglemeister lately, giving shoulder hugs to all and sundry. I was in the depths of character creation when I heard James: “Oh, hi, Ben…hi there…yeah…yeah…you’re a good cat, yeah…you’re a…um…you’re licking my […]
The Alliance for Marriage is spamming me. I should probably just have found a way to get off their mailing list* instead of sending them a note saying that I would be sure to take every opportunity to vote against anything they stood for because their constant spam had irritated me so damn much, and […]
Catness proceeds apace. Athena’s still unhappy, and growls in his presence, but they’ve only come to blows once more, when he jumped up on the back of the couch and startled her and she got him in the side. Ben still makes no effort to retaliate and flees the scene at once, to lurk under […]
My first experiment with the oil paint sticks. It’s almost all acrylic, but I brought in the paint sticks for the sky. It’s interesting. I may have to fool around with this for awhile yet. The glow around the guys I don’t like all that much, but as they say, it’s a learning experience. For […]
I am unable to resist posting this. It was the only bit I had already written on this as a story, beyond the Dour Brotherhood image description, and it was what sold me on trying to continue it at all. (I haven’t yet figured out where it GOES in the story, mind you–it was one […]
So, in a fit of madness, I am thinking of doing Nanowrimo this year. I never have before–couldn’t justify the time–but heck, I seem to be at least part a writer these days, so I might as well try it. Nurk only took me about three weeks, so I know I can beat out something […]
This afternoon, the cats finally came to blows, and they did so on that time-honored battleground–my lap. I laid down for a nap. Athena, as is her right and tradition, perched on the back of the couch to supervise. This looked like entirely too much snugglezone for Ben to pass up. I heard a “mrrp?”, […]
Three…whole…trick-or-treaters. Do they just not DO Halloween in the South? I mean, no beware of dog sign, nice neighborhood, porch light on…nuthin’. Now I have three bags of candy that I’ll have to dispose of the old fashioned way–by eating as much as I can stand and making James take the rest to work. Oh, […]
