R&L News

Well, I’ve survived the World Cup, a few Grand Prix weekends, a couple of health issues, my wife having a few tons of dental work, and a bit of the writer’s lament. On the World Cup.  I’m starting a contest to name the Yugo awards for the World Cup.  For those not in the know, [...]

R&L Chapter 27 Up

Yeah!  Finally.  Chapter 27 is up.  Of course, not all is smooth sailing.  I found an XHTML error that has propogated itself through most of the chapters here and on ASSTR.  Crap.  I’ll be fixing that shortly.  That’s what I get for changing operating system (and thus editing tools).  A good thing, I guess.  Yet, [...]

R&L Update and Script Frenzy

Chapter 27 of R&L… All my life I’ve heard the phrase “Rome wasn’t built in a day.” When I was five, I asked, “Why not?” By sixteen, “Just need more power.” By thirty, “It’s a project management issue.” By fifty, “No shit!” Well, Chapter 27 in various forms has been written for a while.  First, [...]

Computers Suck!

Okay, something that has provided me entertainment and my ex-wives with comfortable lifestyles, maybe I should be a bit lighter about.  I normally am.  Then I started having the infamous Blue Screen of Death.  Could fucking Windows tell me the problem?  Hell no.  Turns out I to wait until the disk drive was on the [...]

Chapter 26 Update

Chapter 26 is finally in its last edit stages and I should begin the HTML conversion process either tonight or tomorrow.  Chapter 27 is on track.  Still no acceptable draft, but rapidly closing in on one.  Just one scene…  Just one scene!  Okay, so it’s the most critical scene in the chapter (and for the [...]

R&L Chapter 25 Posted

Well, Wednesday has come to an end at “Don Sanche, or the Castle of Love”.  Enjoy the chapter! Chapter 26, the beginning of Thursday, is in final draft.  I plan to finish my edits in the next day or so and turn it over to my team for their majick.  I doubt it will post [...]

Chapter 24 Posted

Chapter 24 is up on my site and SoL.  Asstr and other formats to follow later this week.  Chapter 24 is about late Wednesday afternoon – football practice and media day.  There are some surprise visitors. Chapter 25 will be up this coming weekend.  Wednesday night has arrived.  Rebbecca has Luis all to herself at [...]

2010 – Finally!

The Aughts were a damned interesting decade and I’m personally delighted that they are over.  Yes, some good, a few great, and many bad memories.  The chronicle of the decade would take at least a series of novels, which I’m not going to do here.  Let’s just say that I started the aughts out employed, [...]

Writing Again

OMG!  I hate the fall.  Yes, there are distractions.  Yet, then again, there are distractions all year long.  So, I don’t have that to fall back on.  Instead, I can only look at past history.  In the fall, I’ve performed horribly with my writing.  Another fall has past and I have yet another data point [...]
