Well, despite some disappointing and unfruitful beginning searches, I now have a fair number of brain recipes for my cookbook. I have even discovered that there is a restaurant in Evansville that has quite a number of brain recipes on the menu. I was beginning to despair that I wouldn’t have enough recipes to make a decent-sized book, but through a lot of internet digging and cookbook Continue reading

Zombie cookbook
I have begun a new book. What has happened to all my other books, you ask? Ah, well, they’re still in the works. Skipping lightly over that, onto my new book project. I have decided to write a cookbook. All of the recipes (save for a few of the drink recipes) will feature as their main ingredient: brains! This is why the book will be entitled The Zombie Cookbook. 🙂 I asked Continue reading
Wrote out
I think NaNoWriMo took most all my words out of me. I haven’t much been in the mood to type, though I highly suspect a large portion of this hesitation is due to having picked up WoW once more with a fervor. I enjoy the new system of achievements where you do silly little things like traveling around and collecting pets and crafting pointless things. Tonight’s play will be Continue reading
Winner!
Grey day for writing
It’s pretty grey and drizzly outside today which means it’s a good day for staying inside and doing something from the comfort of a warm couch with an afghan on my lap and some hot cocoa beside me. That sounds awesome, only I go in to work within the hour and won’t get home until four, so my novel writing time will just have to wait until then. I can’t say that it bothers me too Continue reading
Scarves and words
Well, two days ago, Ian and I picked up some yarn so I could make him a scarf. In the store, the color was a very muted green-gray, like a sage but pale and aged. Then when we got the yarn home, it looked pretty much gray like a battleship gray. I started making it into a scarf the night we got it, and yesterday morning, I picked it back up only to realize that the color had changed Continue reading
Achy feet
Well yesterday was my first eight-hour shift at the library. I’ve been really good at remembering to take Aleve for my arthritis daily for the past week, so my joints were doing just fine. My feet still hurt, however. After walking home, I looked at my phone which has a built-in pedometer and it said I’d taken over 12,000 steps. I don’t know that it registers every step very well though Continue reading
50k!!!
WOOOOOOOO! I just hit 50,000 words in my novel! I know it’s late and all, but I had a lot of coffee–some of it with marshmallows which wasn’t very good though I like Sarah’s idea of whipped cream in coffee–so I’m not tired and I’m just having to go to the bathroom all the time anyway ’cause I drink a ton of water and I have a bladder the size of a walnut or something else Continue reading
40k
40,000 words! Woohoo! If I were doing the minimum number of words necessary to reach 50k by the 30th, then the 40k mark would be on day 24. Needless to say, I’m pretty far ahead. 😉 Now if I could just get my characters to behave. They keep sitting around having random conversations or pulling pranks on each other out of the blue. They’ve come up with some choice Continue reading
Excerpt
I had forgotten that you could up an excerpt of your novel on NaNoWriMo until last night while I was playing around and was actually looking at the forums (for all of five minutes, mind you; I’m not much for forums). I looked at the five and a half chapters (plus prologue) I had written already wondering if any of it would be good for an excerpt. I finally settled (lazily) on what I had Continue reading
