I had a dream that I was pregnant. Judging by the size, I’d guess seven or eight months along. I was wandering around some sort of get-together in search of Bob while people marveled over the fact that I was still wearing my wedding ring. Bob appeared to be missing completely from the gathering and I got sidetracked from my search by a plate of baked potatoes. Because obviously. Then I shared my Investigation Discovery…
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…
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…

(Ten years this October, thank you.) I’ve had four phones in that time. My first was a Nokia brick that had changeable face plates. I had a blue one with yellow duckies. It came with the…
I’ve never been a Beastie Boys fan. I’m not a fan of rap and hip-hop. Though there is some stuff in that vein that I can mostly tolerate. Not much, but some. I suppose these guys fall into the “mostly tolerable” column. I could probably only name a handful of their songs, but I’d take that over most of the shit falling out of Top 40 radio these days. With the intarwebz saturated with the…
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…
