What I’m tired of
I’m really of tired of not being able to plot out stories; of my head refusing to sort out a plot before I write. It’s incredibly annoying and it slows down what I want to do. Lately I’ve been getting…
back and forward and reading and writing
The boy went to the gastro yesterday and there are tests underway. One of which requires collecting a stool sample, and so we are waiting for that to, ahem, arrive. But he started barfing even more, despite increasing the dosage…
Beginning freezing

Doodads and updates and snippet
I forgot to mention that I finished Trace of Magic a couple days ago. Go me! I talk about ending it over at Magical Words today. Specifically about ending creep. I’m pretty happy with the book so far, but only…
Gonna have to
I’m just going to have to give in to going to the bone-cracker. Luckily, I met a massage therapist at Orycon who works locally in a chiro office. Now I just have to make the appointment. I keep getting headaches…
