In Shadows

And the drama continues. While I can appreciate how people feel about my previous post, (which I had sent to the mailing list that exploded today,) I think things are going overboard. Sending nasty emails to anyone over the issue isn’t going to make things right for anybody. If any of my readers are doing [...]

It has come to my attention that one of my blog posts has been sent to a mailing list without my permission. That person has been chewed out by me, (and virtually strangled,) but the damage has been done with someone I consider a friend. 1) I do not believe Cindy Cresap is out to [...]

The move went extremely well. In three days we were completely unpacked and put away. I still have some doodads to hang on the balcony, but other than that, we’ve settled in. Been without DSL for almost a week, then had to spend an hour on the phone with support to get it back up [...]

We signed the lease today. We’re moving today and tomorrow. I’ll be without DSL access until later next week. To that end, I’ve uploaded the next installment of Iditarod, since I won’t have computer access on Monday. Enjoy! Have a great weekend!

Spent the morning pulling things off the walls and ceilings – tapestries, hanging baskets, Yule lights – in preparation for tomorrow. As soon as the office opens in the morning, we’re going to be there to get the lease signed! YAY!

An announcement has been put out on the ‘verse about a former employee of Fortitude selling off the abandoned stock of titles. The books have been stored in her basement almost from the beginning of the company, and it will cost three or four hundred dollars to have the local waste management company haul them [...]

1038. Apparently the kids have stumbled upon the house of a living history enactor. Specifically, the Society for Creative Anachronism. It was the luck of the draw, really. I listed out the houses of ten of my friends, keeping in mind their interests and what they might have there, and rolled a ten sided die. [...]

and a dollar short. 1677 words yesterday, chapter 13 finished. My characters are scavenging a house, and Gwen’s getting a first hand lesson on what’s important to townies (as opposed to the city kid that she is.) Paper has replaced gold after five years, at least in the Loomis clan, and finding a lawyer’s home [...]

The next installment of Iditarod is posted. Don’t shoot the messenger for the cliff hanger ending! I’m only posting two chapters at a time, people . . . I can’t help it if this installment ended where it did!

No writing yesterday due to the morning shift. Well . . . I lie . . . actually, I left early with the intent of hitting Coffee People for a Moroccan Mint tea and some quality writing time only to discover my Palm keyboard was at home. I’ve gotten sucked into the Honor Harrington series [...]

2289 words written and two chapters completed. Tomorrow’s my last day off from work, so I’ve got to keep my nose to the grindstone and get what I can. I work day shift on Thursday and that always messes me up for writing. Gwen’s being her usual acerbic self . . . and butting heads [...]

Yesterday. Almost 300 today. Late start due to checking the office about the apartment. IT’S OURS!! Some stuff to do between now and move in, but it’s definitely ours! WOOT!

Over 1100 words. I’m getting dressed and heading out to Coffee People. Supposed to be a very nice day out (and it’s looking it.) I’ve been in the house for two full days and need the fresh air and exercise. Tomorrow we find out if we get the apartment we’ve been drooling over. . . [...]

And at least I’m on time! Here’s the next installment of the Iditarod tale!
