Happy Birthday, Lizzie!

Is my lovely niece six years old already? Where does the time go, man? Seems like only yesterday we were at the hospital, and now she's going to kindergarten with three (count 'em, three) little brothers underfoot.

Love you bunches and bunches, Pumpkin Pie!

 

 

The 12 Fantasies of Christmas

Through the twelve days of Christmas, my true love gave to me:

Twelve blazing dragons

Eleven mermaids swimming

Ten elves a-flaunting

Nine dancing dryads

Eight hearty hobbits

Seven dwarves a-mining

Six trolls a-trolling

Five magic rings

Four leprechauns

 

Three phoenixes

 

Two forest fauns

And a unicorn as white as the snow!

Goodbye, B&N

It's official: I'm no longer working for Barnes and Noble. I withdrew on Saturday. The job wasn't what I thought it would be and my hours were just too few.

Still a big downer, though. While my ultimate dream job is to write books and screenplays and make art, I'd dreamed about working at a bookstore for years. It's almost like a breakup.

Remembering Pearl Harbor

A day that still lives in infamy, and always will.

NaNoWriMo 2016 Winner!!!

I did it! I won NaNoWriMo for the third year in a row! Of course, there's still a lot of work to do with my novel...but right now, who cares?

Boom-badda-boom!

80% Done

As of today, I've hit the 40,000 mark in my NaNoWriMo 2016 story. Granted, it's a bit junky and there are heaping piles of psychological information...but no matter!

To quote Matt Guion's "1,667 words" song: "As they say, editing is what December is for!"

Best of all, the story's really starting to come together and the characters are becoming more and more fleshed out, though I am starting to worry that I may have invented too many characters...
