That’s… That

Tired. So tired… and injured. And bleeding. Kitten was spayed today and within 2 hours had already cracked her E-Collar. I got her this recovery vest and she thanked me by clawing my hands and arms up and gouging a hole into the side of the vest. Left one leg unsnapped so she has a Continue reading

Na Na Na Na Na Na

Chapter 1 – [Insert Catchy Title Here] By Juliette Lyst As the sometimes-booed narrator of my own life, I did feel a twinge of pain today as I sat in front of two separate shredders. The task ahead was as clear as day, but something I still had to push through. So… I remember noting Continue reading

Terribly Bad Actors

Alright… let’s address the elephant in the room. Yes, I am still upset due to having to attend two memorial services in two days. Also, I have unpublished my novel. Of course, it’ll still be on the digital KDP side for 90 days, but other than that, no. The sort of content it has… is Continue reading

Songbird

I’m so glad that I had the wherewithal to write a note so I knew I did my reading already. Right now, my brain feels like warm mush almost… It’s a very disconcerting sensation. I was sick earlier and the most annoying part is that it was within a half hour after dinner. Thankfully I Continue reading

Houses and Doors

I find it very funny that I need to completely change my music to be in the correct mood to work on anything for NtC. Sad too, but mostly funny. Some of my music was also on loop for Catch & Release as well. I got the idea for it while humming along with an Continue reading

In Expectation

Still recovering from my editing binge. Took my required medication tonight… so there is that. I’m starting to get frustrated with all the research I find myself having to do. Medical techniques, medical equipment… medical terms. Researching for locations and symptoms. And now I’m trying to revise and tweak a birth scene! I honestly thought Continue reading

My Castle

I’m what my father refers to as “crazy.” What a great way to start a conversation, huh? Or a blog post. This is my second day of not speaking with him on any platforms at all. I spoke with a couple of my friends instead… and that proved to be enough. I sometimes think of Continue reading

Can’t Stop This Feeling

Exhaustion. Exhilaration. Embarrassment. Excitement. All of these are words I can use to describe how I’m feeling right now. I’m exhausted because I’ve spent most of my entire day editing for NtC. I’m exhilarated because I’ve revised up to chapter 21 out of 23. Which means that I’ve actually edited for three of the five Continue reading

I’ll Give It All To You

Apparently… I do have readers on fanfiction.net. I was completely unaware, seeing as the viewer ticker is borked. So… I guess I’ll have to rescind my decision to up and dip out on that website. Fortunately, I had the idea in mind… already… to have the documents in different files. I’m currently going down the Continue reading

I Want It All

…and I want it now. Is that too much to ask for? I pressed myself so hard last night until I squeaked. But… I nearly edited 10 chapters in one day. So… Oh, I mean 10 chapters of Navigating the Curve. I’ve already written down notes on continuity issues I’m finding. A downside? I’m going Continue reading
