Wiped out

I must admit, I am writing, but my priority right now is getting my home ready for graduation. My oldest, as I've mentioned, is creeping up on her high school graduation. She will be the first of this generation in either family so the troops are a-massing. LOL I've been trying to get everything ready *clean*, for the family *my mom and grandma* to arrive for the graduation ceremony *if the teen passes all her classes*.

I tell you... I'm getting grayer by the minute. I'm going to need hair color by the time the ceremony comes around. Wish me luck.

I am, as I said, writing. I'm working on a vampire story that has nothing to do with the Society series. Yes, I'm working on the third one too, sheesh, bossie's.

Let's see... OH! I wanted to mention, comma's suck, but my buddy Livy put a whole schlew (spell check never heard of this word, so I appologise if it's misspelled) of comma rules on her blog. Sea of Red Ink she is such a doll baby. Ever so helpful to us weak minded writers. We have ideas, stories, characters who holler in our ears to get their story told, but the rules? Huh, we don't need no stinking rules. pshaw.

So, check it out, tell her you love her, and shake your head vigorously and hope the rules stick. That's what I'm hoping for.

All right. I'm out of here. I'm going to turn on Animal Planet (or one of the previously taped versions of Funny Animal Videos) stare at it bemusedly, then sleep.

Night all

Oh, and I'm pouting that I didn't get to attend RT this year. NEXT YEAR watch out. It's in Huston (I think, but don't quote me on it), and I'm darned well going to be there if I have to walk or knock off convenience stores on the way. *um, don't tell the cops, okay?*

Writing, writing

I need to give everyone an update on what I'm doing. I'm actually working very hard. Reading through Alexi's book, getting rid of plot dangles and holes. It's fun. LOL

The next thing I plan to do is, write synopsis' for a few stories before I lose them. Wrting the stories should go much quicker if I have them all plotted out. It worked for Tree Sprite.

All right, I'm going back to work. Sorry this is short and sweet, but I'm also dealing with Prom, which was last night, and graduation is coming fast which means relatives are coming. I'm trying to get the house organized for real this time. I even started a blog to keep myself motivated. LOL

Ok, I'm a blogging fool. They keep me working so I have something to say. :)

Hope you had a wonderful Mother's Day. I did. I didn't do much of anything. :)

Thesaurus

As you know, I've been trying to expand my word usage in the stories. I found a great online reference that I wanted to share. You probably know about it, but I'm going to tell you about it anyway.

Thesaurus.com is the one I've been using almost exclusively. It has the most choices of alternate words that I've found yet. So far, any word I imput, spits out at least five different choices. I like choices.

Anyway, I'm pounding away on the keyboard, having a good old time. Daughter's surgery went very well, her eyes are healing slowly, the opthemologist says she's right on track, and she goes back to school Monday after having been out since the 28th of April. Yay. She's looking forward to it, and so am I. I've only got until June 11th to get any writing done before my mother and grandmother show up for my oldest's graduation. Holy Mackerel. Time's running out. LOL.

I'm putting the Thesaurus link in my reference bar, and I hope it can be of use to you. I still haven't gotten any helpful alternate words for the human sexual organs.
