More loose ends

Posted on August 31, 2017 by Erin

Although I did write yesterday, I got to it so late, I didn’t bother posting. For the record, I got 101 words yesterday and 160 today. So many things to juggle — SFWA work on the OPPM, invoicing for copyediting, … Continue reading →

Watermelon nights

Posted on August 29, 2017 by Erin

Today’s subject line brought to you by this earworm that a friend gifted me with to cheer me up: Good day. Finished a freelance job, visited the library, bought a watermelon from a farm stand (as I said, earworm), and … Continue reading →

End of the line

Posted on August 25, 2017 by Erin

Last day of summer vacation (not counting the weekend). I didn’t spend as much time as I could have this week with the kids, though I did make sure to spend some. Still writing, too. 451 words today, after SFWA … Continue reading →

Eclipsed work

Posted on August 21, 2017 by Erin

(Which is probably at least the three hundredth eclipse pun headline you’ve seen today, I know.) I have to confess that I haven’t been writing much. The last week was focused on getting Siren Circle up for sale. Today, while … Continue reading →

And done again (mostly)

Posted on August 15, 2017 by Erin

Still have to do a couple tweaks on the last chapter, plus argue with Word on some formatting issues. (Sometimes unchecking “Same as previous” for header works; sometimes it doesn’t.) Yes, it really is like this, one thing and then … Continue reading →

Mushrooms!

Posted on August 14, 2017 by Erin

In our yard. Which is not fantastic, but not exactly surprising, either. And gives an indication of just how much rain we’ve been getting. Anyway, not a lot on the new word front today, and what there was, I didn’t … Continue reading →

Today was a perfect ten

Posted on August 10, 2017 by Erin

(On the calendar, at least.) In actual fact, it wasn’t a bad day. I got some normal adulting tasks done, knocked a couple freelance tasks off my to-do list, poked at the writing (yeah, not a lot there — only … Continue reading →

Just one more thing

Posted on August 10, 2017 by Erin

… and one more, and one more, and … Is it just me? I keep taking on little things at random intervals, and that works great for a week or two, but then these other little things land, and suddenly … Continue reading →

Insert witticism here

Posted on August 8, 2017 by Erin

Another slow day. Got some progress on projects for SFWA this morning, including forward momentum on the Operations, Policies, and Procedures Manual (OPPM). Told the members at the business meeting during the Nebula Conference that we’d have the OPPM out … Continue reading →
