Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! It’s been another wild week around here. As some of you already know, my dad started chemo this week and I had a little trouble wrapping my head around it at the beginning of the week. And then I came home on Tuesday to a living room full of dog poo. […]
Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! I’ve been waking up an hour earlier all week for work, and instead of making me bright eyed and bushy tailed, it’s fried my brain. Thank gods for coffee! With my crazy work schedule this week I didn’t get much done in the way of writing, but I did finish my

Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! It’s been a while since I’ve blogged (or been online regularly), but the family has gone home and things are getting back to normal around here. I spent last week bouncing around between home, work, and Folly Beach, and while it was super fun (the beach house my sister rented was

Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! Yesterday I saw the first wisteria bloom of the season, and the Aledans here will know what that means: it’s officially spring! Wisteria is the Mother Goddess Aleda’s flower, and blooms when she is reborn into the world (well, into the world in Fie Eoin). Today it was too rainy to

Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! I’m so tired today, both because of the time change and because I stayed up late CPing. I had planned to finish today (technically I did, since it was after midnight), but late last night I got to a plot twist that was so good I didn’t even see it coming

Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! It’s been a busy week around here, mostly because my instrument at work has been acting wonky for the past two weeks. I finally figured out why yesterday afternoon: my dumbass switched two of the three columns and connected them to the wrong place. Whee! I’ve reconnected them to the correct

Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! This week has been a roller coaster ride of awesomeness and busyness and a little bit of frustrated-ness. I got a critique back from one of my CPs and I’m expecting another any day. They both liked StO (yay!) but I still have some characterization to work on (boo!). I should

Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! I finished the third draft of StO this week, and I’m doing a read-through to make sure I didn’t screw anything up before I send it to my next round of CPs. I’m fairly sure the plot is solid, and the characterization in the beginning is much stronger, so I’m hoping
StO Draft Three is Done! Read More »
Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! I’m happy to say that I’ve finally made it back into writer-brain, and I’ve finished just over half of Draft Three of StO this week! I’m currently writing a brand new Erie scene, and I’m really liking the changes I’ve made for her. She sounds more mature in this draft, and
Happy Thursday, Aledan Merfolk! It’s a balmy 26F in Charleston today, which kind of makes me want to punch things. I didn’t move a thousand miles south to deal with this kind of weather! Of course, if I were back home in MI the wind chill would be below zero, so I guess I can’t
