I’m struggling with this revision* I’ve got to do. S-t-r-u-g-g-l-i-n-g. Last week I realized that I wasn’t accomplishing what I thought I was accomplishing, which was creating enough danger and tension in my story to compel the reader to keep going. I imagined a reader getting to the third chapter and [...]

I soooo did not want to write this post today. And I’ve soooo been avoiding my own blog.
Not a good sign.
I’ve been writing this blog for two years now. Here’s the post I wrote on Mother’s Day two years ago. Read it. It’s cute.
Here’s the post I wrote last [...]

New Cracked article is up, sorta. I only wrote some of it. It was my pitch but then, you know, I couldn’t finish it. So head over and digg it if you like me and want to make me happy.

You know how sometimes you go through periods when things are changing, slowly but surely, and that when the period is over life will never be the same again? I think we’re going through one of those times.
The last time was when we moved to Idaho. It wasn’t slow, it was sudden. [...]

Now that it’s 2008, I suppose I should revise my to-do list. This time I’m going to focus on what I want to do this year, which certainly changes things up a bit. I heart lists.
Also, this list belongs on the page entitled “Kristi’s Big To-Do.” But I couldn’t get it on [...]

We took a horse-drawn sleigh ride today. I could never be a farmer or a cowgirl or any other agriculturally vocationed person for one reason only: poop. That’s all I’ve got to say about that.
Otherwise, the sleigh ride was lovely, and the perfect way to start the year. We’re still hosting, [...]

We had a killer Thanksgiving. Choose your friends wisely, dear readers, and you will get some great food every now and then. I can cook, but I can’t cook. I’ll do a mean roast beef and a wicked pork chop, but once you get past the cooking basics, I’m no good. [...]

Here we are, ten days into Nanowrimo, and I am very much in the honeymoon stage of writing this story. Here’s the stats so far:
Number of words: 9543
Number of chapters: eight
Number of subplots: zero. Still working on the whole subplot thing.
Number of days left: 20
Likelihood I’ll reach 50,000 by [...]

So it appears that my strike post struck…heh…a chord. And even though I probably disagree with ALL OF YOU, I’m very grateful for the feedback. I guess my beef with the WGA comes down to this:
The WGA strike rules include “Do not deliver or submit any literary material or any documents to a [...]
