Thoughts on DWTS, PSY and War In Flesh

Dancing With The Stars, I wanted Zendaya to win so much but I cannot be sorry that Kellie did. She was just beautiful. Len was adorable, Dorothy Hammil is still beautiful and a wonderful person. Jacoby is adorable too. It was so nice to see all of the stars again. I was so touched when Dorothy danced with Kristi Yamaguchi. And is Psy not just adorable? I know I keep using that word but so many of them are. What I love about Psy is that he made that surprise hit of his and he’s embraced every moment of fame … Continue reading

A Cornucopia of Topics Including War In Flesh and Dancing With The Stars

Yesterday I was busy. And then horrible things happened in the Midwest. And then I was busy again. Today I have to catch up on War In Flesh. I need to do some serious research on KERS systems because I had a vision for War In Flesh that I discarded as being unworkable but it won’t leave me alone. I think Kinetic Energy Return Systems may be the way to make it work. Steam powered rail guns have been around for a while so i can maintain the technology level I’ve set up for the world. Oh! I just had … Continue reading

Star Trek: Into Darkness, The Name of The Doctor and War In Flesh

Ok I post my updates here and over at M31 Publishing, usually a bit of an extended post over there. No sooner had I pushed the “publish” or in FB’s case “post” button yesterday than inspiration struck and struck hard. I had so many ideas, and of course very little time because I was going to see Star Trek: Into Darkness, that I sat typing away for just under the hour I had to me. I reworked my outline to include ideas and roughed out three conversations I want my characters to have. I am so excited and pleased about … Continue reading

War In Flesh, KERS, Steampunk, and The Persi Brothers Take Over

Alright I’m on day 2 of just thinking about what I really want to do with War In Flesh and I’ve come to realize that I need to correct an egregious oversight. I wanted book 2 to be more about the romances I hinted at in the first book and so far I’ve got nothing much. Plus I separated the party which goes against rule #1. I also haven’t spent much time on the pair I want to be the main characters. Of course for those who read the first book, In The Flesh, it will come as no surprise … Continue reading

War In Flesh In Crisis

I’m having second thoughts about War In Flesh. And third thoughts too. I don’t have a great scene in mind for the ending as I’m currently writing it and that is causing me no end of trouble with the narrative. I may take a couple of days to just think about it and see what I can come up with because if I want you to be amazed and love the ending then I have to come up with an ending that I love myself. K.

J. J. Abrams Trek Brouhaha, Gardening and War In Flesh

Today’s update is late and for that I apologize. It’s been a crazy morning for me. I got some writing done on War In Flesh and I’m looking forward to getting some more done. I know the plot complication that goes in this part and I think I can make it work. Gardening has been on my mind. I have grand plans for the garden area, usually far grander than I, by myself, can carry out but this year I’m setting more realistic goals. I went to a local nursery and bought two (why two?) Gunnera Mantica plants. They’re cute … Continue reading

War In Flesh Inspiration, Orphans and Gardening

Yesterday was a dream day for work on War In Flesh. Well dreamy in the sense that I had so many ideas that a whole chapter just poured out of me with little trouble. Not so dreamy in the sense that I had a ton of other things to do which cut my writingpalooza very short. I’m hoping to pick up today where I left off yesterday on War In Flesh and maybe even get some more work done on my space opera now tentatively called Orphans, which is far better than Second Chances. That is still just a working … Continue reading

Dancing With The Stars, My Pick and Gardening Wakes My Muse

I’m filling this post with pictures of my roses because I love them, they’re beautiful and each plant was a gift from someone meaningful in my life. On to today’s blog: Dancing With The Stars, let me just say that I’ve only seen Afro Jazz twice in my life, including Alexandra and Mark and I’ve loved it every time I’ve seen it. Kellie and Derek are a shoe-in if you ask me; she is just so beautiful and talented. Who doesn’t love Jacoby and Karina? They’re wonderful. So my votes had to go to Zendaya and Val. I wish they … Continue reading

The St. John’s Parade, Urban Fondue, Bill Cosby and Martinis

I don’t expect to get much work done today on War In Flesh or any of my book projects. We have a very busy day planned. There is a parade and Bizarre (yes that’s how they spell it for this little soiree) that we want to attend and later on we’re going to see Bill Cosby. I’ve been thinking about the plot twist I created yesterday. This throws a major wrench in the outline I so painstakingly created for War In Flesh. There is a lot of potential there and I also had a thought about something I should have … Continue reading

War In Flesh, The Lorelei II, And Math

Well I got out of the house in an attempt to increase my productivity. There are too many distractions at home, there really are. Mt. Laundry is always calling out to be scaled, dishes are a never ending task and with the advent of warm weather and sunny days the flower beds cry out for attention. There are a million and 1 distractions that are legitimate chores I could and should do but once I give in to them I don’t get a lot of writing done. As a corollary to getting out of the house, a place with free … Continue reading
