In Shadows

Part 16 is now available online. Enjoy.

My job is a very physical one and I have Rheumatoid Arthritis. When I was at my rheumatologist a couple of weeks ago, he showed me that my x-rays indicated ‘large amount of damage’ to my feet. That got me wondering. Would I ever notice a flare up if one occurred? […]

I’m hungry, but there’s nothing I want to eat.
I’m bored, but there’s nothing I want to do.
I’ve opened three different stories and can’t seem to get started on any of them. *sigh*
Orphan Maker is about two thirds complete. Editing for On Azrael’s Wings is about a third done with at least six more […]

Another mystery for Gwen to puzzle over. She thought she had her facts straight but after grilling Loomis’ brother, she’s discovered that her information isn’t correct. Somebody died six years ago . . . so who the hel was it? The Riddick she knew was alive and kicking until recently . . […]

Enjoy!

But I was wrong. The first scene of chapter nineteen was NOT complete. Finished it today. The chapter’s a little light - just short of 2k - but informative. I’m hoping it doesn’t sound too much like an info dump.
Feeling much better today. Good thing, too, since I […]

and got my words for the day. 1065 total, first scene of chapter nineteen complete. One more scene to go. (Sorry, Shawn. Nothing in your email box, today.)
Took the first dose of MTX last night after a serious chat session and hours of research. Since it was at dinner time […]

Well, I spent all yesterday morning cleaning house instead of writing because I knew I’d be getting a cortisone shot that afternoon. After a shot, the joint has to be immobilized for 24 hours. Right elbow, right arm, right hand. Pizza for dinner or else I’d never get any food in my […]

I’m talking my brain, not Star Trek . . .
I posted the next segment of the Iditarod this weekend and completely forgot to mention it on my blogs! Whoops! For those enterprising souls who poked around on my website to locate it, hats off to you! To everyone else, my […]

Another monster work day yesterday, but I slogged through it. Flat out refused to stay until midnight to turn a room. Fortunately, my shift leader was working, and he remained behind long enough to get most the work done. This morning, another of our guys worked at front desk and offered to […]

Last night was a monster. Well, maybe not really . . . but since I’ve been on day shift the last two or three weeks, and it’s a lot less physical activity, last night’s shift felt like a monster to me. I’m exhausted and have another swing shift to go.
Fingersmith rocks! […]

For a change, I’m writing this entry over a few hours, leaving my iJournal window open until I submit this to LiveJournal. A lot of times I’ll think of something pithy to say, but am too lazy to open up the window, write and post it when I know I’ll do an update later. […]

Since the outline has changed somewhat with new scenes cropping up here and there, and the ones written scheduled being altered by the new additions, I have no idea where I’m going. I’ve spent the last two hours poring over the outline and the last couple of chapters, finally figuring out what’s next.
Unfortunately, I […]

And another chapter. Loomis has a nightmare again (small wonder considering Riddick’s recent return to her mind.) Did it from her POV this time, without giving too much away.
On the mysterious back story front, I have to say I’m doing a damned good job. Finished chapter seventeen and it looks like the […]
