Curse you, historical accuracy!

I want to use a music box analogy in Spectacle, but I can’t because such clockwork contraptions weren’t invented for two more years.

D’oh!

Tick… Tick… Tick…

I like what I’m writing, but for some reason it’s literally taking ten times as long to write each scene as the last book did.

I know some books are “gimme” books and some books are Not, but jeez.

At this rate…

Why is it every time I edit a scene, I end up deleted the equivalent of an entire page?

Arrrrrr.

(Yes, this one has pirates.)

Ethanol: Friend or Foe?

Filed under: Personal Life — ERiCA @ 7:25 am

The topic of ethanol comes up frequently in my family. One of my brothers thinks it’s the answer to all our problems. Another thinks it’s a complete waste of time because the inferior performance and taxes on our environment outweigh the positives.

I was driving down the road with my dad the other day, and apropos of nothing, he shook his head and said, “With all the people dying of hunger in this world, it’s a damn shame we’re busy turning food into fuel for our cars.”

Gah. At the very least… ironic. Right?

What do you think about the fuel situation and the ethanol “solution”? Do you have any better ideas?
