Dark, soulful tales that haunt long after the last page.
I doubt I update tomorrow, so let’s get this over with today, shall we? Here are the resolutions I made on Dec. 31, 2004: 1) Be a better father and husband. 2) Finish rewriting The Prometheus Syndrome, bring Bold Bounty (yes, it is a historical romance) up to the needed wordcount, and finish the first…
Tonight at 7 p.m. CST the Oklahoma Sooners will face the Oregon Ducks in the Holiday Bowl. As much as I hate to admit it, I expect we’ll be spanked by a good team that finished the season 10-1 while the Sooners struggled against the likes of Tulsa and Baylor. But … we’re going to a bowl…
My children are pigs. Opening a package? Eh, just throw the wrapper on the floor. Having a glass of chocolate milk? Leave it sitting on the kitchen counter, or on the dresser in your bedroom until that last inch turns chunky. Done with those clothes for the day? Just leave them on your floor. Unless…
A few thousand more words on Ulrik: 58,628 / 100,000(58.6%) I also got the second round of Darkscapes galleys from Fine Tooth Press tonight. Ugh. I don’t really care to read that book again. I suppose that sounds bad coming from the author, but … how many times have I read those stories?
Do you ever look at your family and wonder how you came out sane? And then look at your spouse’s family and wonder what would have happened to him/her if you hadn’t rescued him/her? Yeah, we saw a lot of family over the Christmas weekend. So, the week before the dawn of a new year…
The Solstice came. Winter is officially here. I feel almost like I’ve gone into hibernation. Or … maybe it would be more accurate to say I wish I could hibernate. I could use a long, cold winter of sleep. But that’s neither here nor there. Not much has happened the past few days. Hence, no…
Kim’s still logging major overtime. Bad for her, but good for my productivity. I did almost 4,000 words tonight, on top of what I did last night. Here’s the latest Ulrik word update: 55,200 / 100,000(55.2%) On top of that, I outlined the next 12 chapters. With multiple characters with separate agendas in diverse locations,…
Is there anything cuter than watching your 3-year-old son and 5-year-old daughter singing along with their new favorite song, “I Walked with a Zombie?” I didn’t think so.
Here’s some interesting reading for you: an article on the origin of Christmas. It comes with a strong Jewish bias, but quotes several non-Jewish historical sources. It also doesn’t mention how Saturnalia was actually an adaptation of even older customs involved in the worship of Mithra, but you can get the point. I hadn’t heard the…
Let’s see … Kim has now been at work over 16 hours. The company is moving its operations from one facility to another and the employees were “recruited” to do the work. It’s after 1 a.m. now. She has to be back at 9 a.m. to do her regular pharmacy tech work. Have I mentioned…
