Just over 500 words to go before it’s all over tomorrow… err today.  Here’s the last excerpt.  Enjoy!

Germany Excerpt

I’ve been home for two days.  Home being Houston.  It’s so relaxing.  There isn’t pressure to network and scramble and succeed like how it sometimes feels in the Bay.  Everything’s just more leisurely.  I even drive slower (although I do miss my 330 ci… I had the top down today… wheeeeee- I’m spoiled… a lady [...]

Along with Kara Swisher and Walt Mossberg,  Evan Williams, [...]

Why My Cat Is Weird:

It’s been four months since I first brought Mon Petit Coeur home, which makes her 6 months old already!  She’s gotten really big and started to develop quick a personality.  Mostly, she’s gotten fat and more cunning, although also cuter, more endearing and still very playful.
I love her, and I think she’s starting to accept [...]

NaNoWriMo- Day 1

Hi.  I know I haven’t written much in the last two weeks.  All the anticipation of the novel and furiously reading as much as I can, has left me pretty tired and mentally worn out.
BUT today is the official start of National Novel Writing Month, and it’s going pretty well actually.  I’ve already penned 1761 [...]
