From The Desk of Liz Ensley:

GAH! I need to make my coffee. I'm gonig to stat sprinting at 12 and do a couple before taking


A) a shower

B) the trash out

and (maybe)

C) up the laundry.


Gotta try to get this first book finished by the end of this month, so I can start on the next one.

I may be getting a new computer soon. Rose talked with David, who may be putting together a P4 system for me (I say "may", since it's hard to know if wires didn't get crossed, or anything). Regardless, though the cobbled-together system I'm using now works half-way, there's a lot I cannot access with it that I need to, when looknig things up (or even visiting bloody YouTube).
I mean, if you can't watch sometihng, and people don't get why you can't watch it, well, that's awkward.

Also, the way the hard drive is going on this system (used to be Terror's, but it's taken much abuse over the years), I'm not really sure how much longer it's going to last...

I actually have 300+ more words written, but I need to rewrite the scene, because I ended up writing a scene that takes place immediately prior to it, and it worked a little too well, if you know what I mean. ;-)

Nexii?

          Do you know how hard it is to find out the Latin plural for (if any) for the word nexus? Bah. And yes, it does have something to do with what I'm writing. It won't hold me up too badly right now, because I'm not up to when the plural would be right useful to have, but I'll get to that point soon. I just posed the query to the writing list. I hope they have an answer for me.

Five Basic Facts

From The Desk of Liz Ensley:

At the Barclay Funereal Home website, they had something on five basic facts about grief. I saved a copy, though I had to spell-check the darn thing. It had several errors. I let the editor out to play for a while. ;-) I mean, I have been though the process, and on more than one occasion, but it's something that bears repeating, because that's part of the burden of Necromancy, and will help me add some emotional details to the story. See, even if the protagonist is technically not dead, not his soul or spirit, anyway, there's still going to be that period of mourning. See, his human body's dead, he'll never return to it and, although his daughter's aware from circumstantial evidence that his spirit is trapped in an inanimate object because she paid attention to her Necromantic studies, both characters, as well as subsidiary ones who have absolutely no idea what transpired, everyone's going to grieve; and so will a lot of people at the beginning of the book, too, because of all the mysterious deaths that make it seem to them like the kingdom's cursed.
