My edits for Dragonbreath 2 are back (working title–and ONLY the working title–"Ninjabreath.") They’re not bad. Mostly minor–changing a sequence or two, adding a bit here and there, making more full comic panels, nothing in the "By the way, re-write the whole book!" vein that I think most authors are secretly fearing. And, in other news, hermit thrush […]

Oh font of all knowledge, I come with a petition! We’re trying to get a shopping cart system up and running on my website, that being the primary reason for the overhaul. The hope is to do the site in WordPress, so a WordPress plug-in would be seriously awesome. (Warning, semi-technical bafflement ‘n crap to follow.) The […]
Annnnnnnd it’s snowing. This is a pretty respectable snow. I’ve seen worse–in Minnesota, we’d call this "Tuesday"–but it’s not the pansy single-snowflake-destroys-town stuff we usually get down here where somebody spots snow shopping at Hot Topic and the roads spontaneously gridlock. This is a steady, business-like snow, with occasional windy moments that blow white clots […]
One thing that I’m pretty sure I didn’t realize as a child is how passionately adults look forward to the kid’s bedtime. An hour and a half, and I get to blow zombie heads off.
Finally watched "Babylon A.D." last night. Now, I am a Vin Diesel fangirl like you wouldn’t believe. I have watched Chronicles of Riddick more times than is entirely healthy. So I’m predisposed to like anything he’s in, even with the understanding that it will almost certainly be a very bad movie and that I will be okay with that. […]
The temperature dropped like a rock a few days ago, down to the teens and twenties, which isn’t normal at all for this area (the occasional spate of seventies during December and January is not uncommon.) This doesn’t really bother me as far as temperature goes, beyond a general "Bugger, it’s cold!" since I’m from Minnesota […]
The result of my crazed experimenting! (It actually worked out very well–I didn’t destroy the surface at all, despite some fairly heavy layering and scrubbing in the background.)Armadilloupe
It is pretty darn cold here at the moment, at least relatively speaking, and I had to go out and get birdseed because the feeders were empty and it’s so cold I don’t want the little birds to have to go too far for a meal. (The goldfinches, who have plenty of sock left, are out […]
Dude, brown creeper in the front yard! There was one that used to live out back of a duplex in Cary I lived in years ago, but this is the first one I’ve seen since. Score! Also, this book catalog for the year came out, and Dragonbreath got a two page in the Dial Section! Eeee! It looks […]
I had called Kevin up to ask him to hit the grocery store, rather than going together–I just wasn’t in the mood to go out, after a miserably long day mucking out my computer’s files and coping with glum PMS. He came home with a mountain of comfort food–fudge, potato chips, apple pie–and then proceeded to […]
