Thoughts, stories and ideas.

Been bought temporarily back to life by new Engeneereteer content on the Steam Powered Giraffe site. [Join the Engineereteers. Sponsor the band. Do good things for them]

Not asking you to buy my books so you have money for Steam Powered Giraffe.

8:38 AM

Brats are off to school.

I should be working on my day job.

But I’m tooling around on Tumblr and working on The Amity Incident :D

363/500 words down.

Not feeling great. Not feeling horrible. I’m sort of in that misty, wishy-washy zone of meh where I can find ten bajillion more interesting things to do than what I’m supposed to be doing.

And I’m zoning out and taking micro-naps whilst sitting up.

6:46 AM

Everyone is ready for the day.

Except my best-beloved. Who is still lounging on the couch and watching TV in a bathrobe. At least I got them helping Chaos with her shoes.

136/500 words done.

Battling the forces of distraction. AKA Tumblr.

[Buy my books, dangit!]

WHY THE FUCK NOT

If you reblog this before July 1 2014, I will write your url down and stick it in a jar or whatever. Over the summer I will take the jar of urls and I will scatter them around. They may get taped to public loos, they may be thrown into crowds at festivals, or they may get put under napkins at restaurants.
Some one may find your url, and who knows, they could message you telling you where they found

5 to 5AM

The brats are awake!

Half an hour earlier than normal.

Fuck me, my insomnia is contagious.

100/500 words written. Now catering to family. Argh.

Buy my books. I obviously need the money.

Yes I am liveblogging my insomnia. Thanks for noticing.

IDK whether it’s the early hour or whatever the flip is wrong with my biochemistry, but lots of things are funnier to me. And I’m desperately trying not to wake my family with my squeaky noises.

I’m unbelievably happy and aware and i KNOW this is not a state of affairs that will last very long.

Currently working on: getting my iTunes playlist count numbers to match

Challenge #00544 - A169: The Fine Print

If you’re going to make a year-long agreement, you’d better be sure you know whose year you’re using.

“What do you mean I’m still under contract?” Terry demanded. She tried not to make a fist around all her vital documents. “It says five years. It’s been five years. And forty-eight hours, and that’s only because it took that long to get all the forms filled out.”

“I’

It's 2:40 AM

I woke up at 1:25.

Tried EVERYTHING to get myself back to sleep. Took a different sleep-aid. Did some meditation. Tried to focus on spreading the need to rest throughout my entire body.

Nothing.

This time, It was heat.

Winter get’s down into the low teens [celcius] here and I do NOT like the cold. Therefore, we have a nice down quilt to keep us warm, my beloved and I.

Alas, long about the wee small hours of the

I want this thing.

I want this thing SO bad because I have enough sleep issues to keep every periodicals section in every library in the world fully stocked for the rest of eternity.

Ideally, I would love to get the

For sale now at Smashwords! Available in other good eBook stores later.

They had caught some alive.

Raven boggled. He was entirely un-used to chicken with its feathers still on. Or, for that matter, one that wasn’t in tasty chunks and bathed in sauce, presented on a bed of rice or with vegetables.

The first surprise, other than its volume was ear-splitting, was its size. There was less of it than a cat, but it had a cry of a

Challenge #00544 - A169: The Un-Secret

Dunno if you’ll like this one, but I ran across it:

“The thing about evolving on a death world is that you don’t really realize you’re doing so until you get the chance to leave it. Up to that point the presence of carnivorous monsters, venomous micropredators, extreme climatic conditions, geological instability, the most lethal cocktail of microbial and viral life forms in the galaxy and of course the crushing gravity, seemed entirely natural. Until we left Earth

If you only buy one eBook this year… buy this one!

Simy forgot to simulate breathing, watching with all the other aides in the security room. The other three were merely holding their breaths.

They only breathed again when the sound of running water emanated from the tiny bathroom off one side of the cell.

“What is she doing?” demanded the Maq'eck. “She’s meat. Raw, fresh and tender.”

“Yes, but she also has Tarqa&
