words: 4500 lines: He shot a slightly woeful look, tinged with regret, at Alex, who’d turned his back after taking the scarf. Then he headed back the way he’d come, taking the stairs two at time. He stopped again on the overhead bridge to look down at us. I waved. “That was nice of him,” [...]

today: 3500 words (I hope to squeeze out a few more) lines of the day: “I never said I don’t lie. I lie all the fucking time. I just said I wouldn’t lie to you.” “So, what makes me different?” I swallowed all the anger and tears and everything that would turn this from an [...]

<div class=\"postavatar\"></div> Winners of the game from my Megan’s Minions post to be announced a bit later today, thanks to everyone who commented. What else? Hmm, well, have been kicking out the pages on Taken which really, really needs a new title, AND also on No Reservations, which is almost finished. Yay! Getting worked into [...]

Last night I dreamed I was walking away from…a house, a loft, an old warehouse building. Something like that, a place that wasn’t meant to be a home but was being renovated to become one. I walked along a wooden boardwalk through a corn field. A woman looked over her shoulder at me. She was [...]

<div class=\"postavatar\"></div> edit: I wrote this yesterday but I’m only uploading it today… Sittin’ here, at this lonely blog… So, last night I drove down to Glenside to check out Joshua Radin at the Keswick Theater. Bit of a difference from the last time I saw him play in a small, 100-seat theater. This place [...]

“Satan’s son” just friended me on Myspace! My Blood Valentine (in 3D) was made of awesome. Really. I mean, it wasn’t *good* — in that way that all old school slasher flicks aren’t really *good*– but it was FANFREAKINGTASTIC. Lots of scare moments, even predictable ones and the 3D was great. And Ackles? Well, what’s [...]

<div class=\"postavatar\"></div> So, last night I couldn’t sleep again.I went to bed a little later than I’d wanted to, but had to catch up on some things before I could…when I got into bed the aircraft were landing and taking off along with the freight trains (i.e. Superman was snoring) so I put in my [...]

<div class=\"postavatar\"></div> pages today: 20 lines of the day: He’d lifted the hem of his shirt to wipe his face. His belly was tight, taut, a single line of hair trailing from his navel and into the waistband of his low-slung jeans. His belly button was perfection, I remember that, thinking how could a dip [...]

<div class=\"postavatar\"></div> I just realized that a large section of what I wrote yesterday simply won’t do. It will have to come later in the book. But I think I can mostly salvage what I wrote for a different section. So it’s not utterly lost. But see…I have an idea of where I’m going for [...]

<div class=\"postavatar\"></div> I went to bed at 10:30 last night and woke up at 3:33. This always seems to be some sort of sign — when all the numbers on the clock are the same, I always make a wish. I wished today I’d have a productive writing day. We’ll see. I also woke at [...]
