Just a spot for random musings. No one ever accused me of being a conscientious blogger.

Muddling but with snow...
We finally got snow. Since I live in North Dakota, snow in December is nothing strange. No snow on the ground for Christmas, however, is. We had our first brown Christmas in the twenty years we've lived here. Got snow last night so at least something is sort of normal.





Work is slowing down which will mean an extra day off each week. Good for my writing, bad for my paychecks. What a trade off.





Writing is going in fits and spurts. More fits than spurts, lol. Today, I've been doing the copy edit on another author's work and enjoying it. Fantasy with a heavy layer of humor. Love it and very little editing needed. He's meticulous in his wording, grammar and punctuation. The occasional mistake is the result of oversight, not bad editing. No author can effectively edit their own work. You know it by heart, each word and each mark. You get to the point that you don't even really see it anymore. I go back over my own stuff and catch missing words, mispellings or even where I rewrote and forgot to delete the old stuff. It's never perfect. That why the second, third or even fourth pair of eyes come in handy. Another reason to love my second job.





My biggest writing problem right now is my brain is in two universes, no kidding. On one hand, I'm working on Styx and Stone, a futuristic, espionage type romance. One the other, there's a cat type man who kidnaps a good Texas girl (poor alien, lol). I've got vivid scenes from both in my head but I can only work one keyboard at a time.





Jane, I need that cable to download my brain more than ever....





A touch of fantasy...
