If wishes were naps

Today’s lunchtime fortune cookie fortune:
Your persistence will pay off soon.
Well, we can certainly hope. Of course, right now, I’d settle for pay off = nice long nap.
In other news, Kyra is invited to another birthday party at Chuck E. Cheese. And here I am, with nothing to edit. And get this, the party is scheduled [...]

It’s all about me

 Jen was kind enough to think up some interview questions for me … and here I’ve been, sitting on them for ages. And sitting on interview questions isn’t all that comfortable or ergonomic. I recommend a chair. Okay, without further ado, my interview with … me.

Writing update

Not that you’re interested. Feel free to skip this post.
Today, I finished the second draft, also known as the first person conversion of MacKenna’s story (The Fine Art of Holding Your Breath). Somewhere along the way, I added ~22,000 words and I’m now looking at 81,000 for the total word count. I’m really not sure [...]

White Thanksgiving

Yes, that’s right. We have snow. Maybe just a quarter of an inch, but it’s cold and it stuck. Kyra was very excited about this development, wanted to go outside, but thanks to one of our Thanksgiving traditions, she couldn’t.
 What’s that?
Someone getting sick. Poor Miss B woke up with a fever yesterday. This isn’t as [...]

Team Milk-bone

So the other day I did the unthinkable. I went to Target and bought pajamas … for myself. That’s right. Sure, I bought some long sleeved shirts for the kids, but I neglected to buy them pajamas. I know. What was I thinking? (For some reason, I can always be talked into buying pajamas, toothbrushes, and [...]

About those line edits …

They are done–for now. In a marathon IM chat session (marathon = eight freaking hours), Darcy and I worked through all the line edits our agent (!!!) sent us. And this with only a minimum amount of off-color humor and talk about elves (someday, we may be able to reveal all about the elves, but [...]

Suburban angst

So, I did a Target run last night. I do these at the last possible moment. When I start wondering whether they’re serious about the whole “do not reuse contact solution” or if that’s merely a suggestion, I know it’s time to go to Target.
And only today, in America, can you go somewhere that has [...]

Tell me what you want, what you really, really want

I found this over at Jen’s, so if you saw it there, you don’t need to watch it here.  I post it for two reasons:

It’s an easy way to get a blog post in.
We’re a full-service blog here at Writing Wrongs.

I’m so writing a book about these three. The blond kid slays [...]

All I Want Is You

I found this one over at Book-a-Rama.
Here’s what you do:
Set your Mp3 player on shuffle and write the title of the first song that comes up as an answer to each question no matter how stupid it sounds…(savvy? Here we go.)
IF SOMEONE SAYS “IS THIS OKAY?” YOU SAY?
Angel of Harlem, by U2 (that’s a weird [...]

Oh, I have a blog …

Perhaps I should write in it once in a while.
Actually, I have been writing. How much, I’m not sure, because I kind of lost count, but I think I’m up 10,000 words for the week. And since I left MacKenna and Landon in serious pre-make out mode, I should get back to them.
Last night, we [...]
