it's a convoluted mess
I was looking for an old graphic file on my hard drive. I ended up falling into a bottomless pit of some ridiculously bad graphics once designed for website pipe dreams gone by. I also found a metric fuckton of web pages, code, and whathaveyou for all of those long-dead website plans. Ten-plus years ago I did not have one flipping clue what I was doing when it came to webdesign. I probably still don’t… Keep reading…Still unwritten…
This Reunion story is certainly living up to the “from hell” title lately. My brain keeps digging up these little “what if?” scenarios and then I spend far too long trying to figure out if and how they would work in the context of the story. I try writing them out to see how they fare and piece them in little by little. Last night I asked Bob his opinion on one of these what… Keep reading…Though my heart might tell me so…
The Ben & Marina story has the unofficial title of Reunion From Hell. That “working title” really has nothing to do with the story. Or at least not anymore. The original premise was completely different than what it is now. It was something I started sometime around 2005. It was also supposed to be two separate stories.

I keep flip-flopping between the Ben & Marina story and the Kate & Michael story. I’m probably making more progress in the former than the latter…60,000 words and counting…but I go back and forth when inspiration strikes and it keeps me writing. The more I read through what I have written on the Kate & Michael project, the more I realize, I still have a problem with one of the names. I wasn’t entirely sold… Keep reading…This is just a journey…
Someday I will figure out (or have Bob figure it out for me) how to get a custom meta field sitting at the bottom of all my posts. Then I’ll have a “now playing” field to show what song I pulled my post title from. Because almost every single post title comes from lyrics of whatever song I happen to be listening to when I started writing the post. (In this case: We Are Young… Keep reading…I need to get my story straight…
My writing focus has been slowly shifting from Kate & Michael back to Ben & Marina. I figure as long as I’m working on one of those two projects right now, I’m fairly content with my writing situation. I need to come up with proper titles for these projects. They are either referred to as the Kate & Michael story and the Ben & Marina story OR Freelancer FTP and Reunion from Hell respectively. Because… Keep reading…This was different from the start…
