Back when I was in high schoo/college and they first started talking about VCRs I remember thinking how amazing it would be to watch Star Wars in my own home any time I wanted to. Now I’m finding out how much of a dinosaur that makes me, not just because…
Some guy at work made a fat comment about me in our meeting this morning. It was offensive enough to put me in tears, but not so blatant that I can call him on it. I am so tired of being the brunt of fat jokes. I am so tired…
I hate to act out a cliche, but I’m having trouble with writer’s block. I’ve reached a point in my story where I know where I need it to go, but I can’t get it there. I even asked Chris to help me again, but he is stumped, too. I’ll…
You know how much I love my TiVo. Well, tonight it refuses to change my cable box channel, so instead of taping “How I Met Your Mother” I got an episode of “Spongebob Squarepants.” Ugh! I spent a long time trying to fix it but I finally gave up and…

It’s the 26th and I’ve only written 35,500 words this month. I have no chance of finishing on Wednesday, not without missing a couple of days from work, and probably not even then. I am glad I got that much done, but I let myself down. I should have written…
I have two Harley stories tonight. First, I took Harley outside with me when I went to get my iPod out of my car. Harley is a fun dog and we love him to bits, but he has one really bad flaw. When he sees something moving, he chases it,…
I’m trying not to think about word counts tonight. I’m so far behind that it will take a miracle for me to finish my goal. I’m trying to focus on finishing my book instead. This thing is like the neverending story. It keeps growing and growing and growing (kinda like…
