@abuonarroti Are you guys going to be at the Magic Chocolate Shop this afternoon? And if so, when?

@lafreya1 Yeah, I feel term “barf” resonates nicely with the process.

@abuonarroti I suppose I could call it the Spew or Upchuck Phase, but I don’t think Regurgitate Phase works (unless you’re plagiarizing).

As of yesterday, I’m almost a thousand words into “A Sword in the Spokes”, so I might finish the barf phase before the end of the month.

Off to the cafe to write some more “A Sword in the Spokes”, the 2nd Pelly & Winters story.

“Lair of the Feathered Termites” polish phase is finished. Beta readers welcome.

@abuonarroti Not today, but I would be interested in such coffee and writing meet-up some other time. What cafe is that?

So, looking back to a 2007 LiveJournal post I find: Read the rest of this entry »

@abuonarroti I just got my laptop back from Merideth (she was playing Sims 2) and am doing a bit of writing. Oh, and I made chicken cur …

Started the polish pass on “Lair of the Feathered Termites”. Transformation from 3rd to 1st person is fun!

@abuonarroti Oh, all right. But I was going to write something blazingly funny. (For which, you will just have to take my word).

@abuonarroti Nervous I think. It is the revenge of the Chickens (as they are now believed to be distant descendent of T-Rex).

@abuonarroti Poof! You’re breakfast! I’ll be sending the T-Rex’s around to follow up on the transformation…

I’m (finally!) done with the barf phase of “Lair of the Feathered Termites” — now on to the polish phase.

I’m off to Sweetwaters for a triple and finish up the barf phase of “Lair of the Feathered Termites”.

Given last nights ER visit, I’ll be staying home today with sick daughter. After I deliver wife to work, that is.

Starting work after a power outage leaves me no choice but to spend my time writing “Lair of the Feathered Termites.”

I just replied to an email from a friend who is also a writer, and she was saying that she struggled with writing short stories, or, more accurately, short-short stories. Read the rest of this entry »
