Dear Someone from Colchester, England, I’m very glad you found my site today. I hope you enjoyed your (presumably short) stay. Do come back, though I doubt you will. Also, I have the following to say to the search terms that (among others I guess) led you to my site. It’s just… „www. bored housewives“? […]

There had been this huge change at my company and I was involved a lot, so that’s one reason (and I admit the best one) why I was so stressed out lately. This weekend it all went live and there were so many concerns about what could go wrong that I must say that I […]

I’m at about 10 percent of my nanowrimo words. That makes me hopeful. If you didn’t realize it, I have put the first two chapters up. Just click on the link on the right and it will take you there. You should pay attention to the recommended music, because that’s what I usually write the […]

As you may know, I’m often not so happy with my native tongue and like English a lot more. But there’s at least one good thing with German – or, to be more precise – one flaw in the English language. It’s the fact that the letter „w“ takes three syllables to pronounce in English. […]

But – thanks to our neighbors – in the meantime, I’ll have this: Cute, cute, cute, cute, cute. I’m thrilled every time I hear a bark in the backyard.

I like to go on beyond the white breakers, where a man can still be free. Or a woman if you are one. Beautiful World – Colin Hay

I’m freaking tired, but I want to write at least one paragraph for my novel, so I’m here at the computer staring blankly at the screen. My job sucked all the possible creativity out of me. But something got done and that something might be good. And if I’m really really lucky I don’t have […]

I’m participating in Kira’s CD swap. My CDs for the swap are already burned (though not sent out), so I wondered if there is anyone out there who wants one, too. Since it would take me an approcimate 7 minutes to get a package ready, I wouldn’t really mind. There’s a catch, of course, because […]

2,500 words? Are you aware that’s 5 percent already. But then again, only 27 days to go. I have to keep it up and actually do more to make it, but I’m hopeful. There’s a tiny chance, at least if I get that vacation in late November that I’m so desperately hoping for (and kind […]
