Really?

February 24th, 2008

Ya know, sometimes there’s just a word that keeps really repeating itself over and over. Really.

Any idea which word it is that’s really getting on my last nerve, but keeps escaping from the end of my pen?

yeah. really.
No… really.
I mean it. Really.

The word IS… Really.

GAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!!!

Just and that are making cameo appearances. As are sentences that start with But or And, and of course, the famous So that likes to pop in and visit.

At least I know, if this book really goes over word count, I can search for those words and really make a dent.
Really.

I’m going back to typing now. And trying to avoid putting that word in my actually document, despite it appearing really frequently in my handwritten story. (Is there a pill for this? A really-holic anonymous?)

Happy Sunday, everyone.

Another day

February 21st, 2008

Another boring blog post. I feel guilty when I don’t blog, but it seems pointless to blog about nothing.

I’ve embarked in a little writing challenge with a couple of pals. I haven’t said anything “out loud” about it, so I’m not going to, less I jinx myself. The good news is that the words are really flowing. Bad for hand cramps, since it’s all been handwritten, but I’ll take it anyway I can, though I’m a bit nervous about scribing in blood. I tend to write long books. Eeek.

My copy of Grimspace arrived. I look at it every morning and tell myself I need to start reading. Anyone else push reading away to not interrupt the muse? But I’ve agreed to review it on my blog, so I’ll probably grab that this weekend and power read. I’m eager to get to it.

Other than that, it’s been lots of the same ole, same ole. Went shopping for a new desk chair and printer, but didn’t buy…yet. Think I’ll go back for the chair (40% off sale ends soon… must jump on a deal like that). Weather here has been incredibly moody. We’ve had temps ranging from below zero to nearly sixty this month, with rain, snow, thunder, lightning, wind and then more of the same. Adds flavor to a usually dull, gray month. I’m eager for spring. Very eager.

Let’s see….Not much else I can ramble about, so I’ll mosey onto bed where I can prop myself up on some pillows and head off into the world I’ve created and see how bad I can torture me some characters. *evil laugh*

Cheers!
Mel

Happy Valentine’s Day

February 13th, 2008

How the heck did it arrive already? Back when it was a fleck on the horizon, I’d wanted to do something special. Guess I’d gotten better at procrastination than I’d thought. Whoo hoo.

The weather is wonky. Think it has a toll on all of us. Today had sunshine, and despite the fact I’m on day four of the most heinous back-ache of my life (saw Doc, got meds and a diagnosis. I’ll live. but pain sucks) anyway, I really enjoyed the sight of the bright sunlight. Cheers the soul, brightens the spirit. All that jazz.

Doing writing when I can. Searching for a good heroine name. I’ll know it when I see/hear it. Nothing’s clicking yet. Anyone wanna toss a suggestion, I won’t complain–or make promises.

If you’re stopping by on the weekend. Pop over to Shan’s blog and check out her question, maybe offer an answer/opinion. I’m looking forward to what discussion will develop there.

Well, the meds are kicking in and my eyelids have become weighted. Hope you all have a wonderful Valentine’s Day filled with roses and chocolate and love–even if its the cyber kind!

Cheers!
