Going Home – and Back Again

By · Leave a Comment

Going home always makes me wish I kept cowboy boots in the trunk of my Mustang… This is mysterious to me because as I grew up I learned to hate the little town that raised me. The hatred took on a life of its own, one that made me vow to never look back, never return… Now, whenever I visit, it’s always hard to leave. And that’s why I’m blogging at 3:20 in the morning.

I’m bleary eyed. I can’t find my cell phone charger. I definitely can’t find my way around WordPress’s “new page” features and do all the linking functions even though I’m eager to put up two new chapters. They’re important chapters – the beginning of the mid-point – and I’m feeling a tiny bit victorious having made it this far. So let me sleep a few hours and then they’ll be up along with some thoughts on what makes a neat chapter and what doesn’t. Peace – and here’s to a few dreamless hours. LL

 

 

Important Notice!

Merry Christmas!

I hope your holiday is full of family, fun and maybe an old horror movie or two. This one, Elves, is from the 80s. The bad guys look like cheap versions of Gollum, don’t they?

I’m with the people who raised me tonight, so I’m taking the evening off from Sinister to give them my full attention. I’ll post Chapter 50 asap after this holiday, however, as well as some posts on 2012 Goals, Ghastly, Thoughts on Writing and other stuff.

Enjoy your day. Hug your loved ones. Eat way too much. And watch out for killer elves and other holiday monsters… See you soon. LL

 

 

Drop Down Menus Fixed and New Sinister Stuff

Something we both know…

The drop-down menus here suck. I know it. You know it. Ghastly knows it and loves that it’s true. They’re impossible to navigate and make the site un-friendly. Who wants that, right?

So, I’ve been scratching my head and looking at new WP themes that would make the drop-down menus better. Then I realized an easy solution was right under my nose the entire time. You can check it out and catch up with Garren and Anthony by clicking below and scrolling down:

 You’ll see what I mean about an easy solution. Seriously, I should’ve seen this about six months ago. It’s like writing a long project, I suppose, sometimes you can’t see the fix because all you’re looking at is the problem. Now that’s some deep writer-crap, isn’t it? More on that later… LL

Ghastly says hello. His claws are sharp and he’s still got some powerful punches in him… But I’m older and wiser and he’s on the floor with a bloody nose.

New stuff coming within 24 hours. LL

 

Goals – and New Sinister Chapter

By · 12 Comments

It’s December and I’m thinking one thing – GOALS. I might list mine here so that I’ll have no choice but to pursue them relentlessly or look like a jackass. Would you be interested in doing the same? If so, we could make LLOnline a supportive gathering place where we gently (and maybe not so gently) encourage one another to achieve our wildest writing-ambitions.

 Please let me know your thoughts.

Anyway, completing Sinister will remain my primary goal in 2012. I’ve been bitching about Sinister a lot lately. A big part of me wishes I’d picked a couple of shorter pieces to work on. Had I done that, they’d already be done and available on Kindle! Perhaps a bigger cause is that dealing with Anthony and Garren can be exhausting. I’m not sure why they wear me out like they do, but I’m trying to figure it out. Sinister – Chapter 47 is now live.

I’m beat – gotta sleep. Thanks for being here and see you soon. LL
