Blog Title: Feral Intensity: I Make It Up as I Go Along

This Writing Gig

I became an independent, self-publishing author on Dec. 2, 2007. That was the day I first put Feral Intensity up on Amazon. After one year and seven months as an indie author, I think I’ve grown as a writer. Whether I can call myself a success is up in the air. I’m going to share some information read more..

Technical Difficulties

Short Version: The theme I was using, Ikarus, doesn’t play well with WordPress v. 2.8. Trying to find a new one I liked and testing them resulted in everything getting all screwed up. My solution? I exported what I needed and did a clean install of WordPress. And I thought this was going to be a catch up read more..

We’re Back!

I really can’t thank all of you enough for helping us make this trip. Mom is in a good place with dedicated people and under 24/7 supervision. That wasn’t a ‘relief’ as I already knew my brother and his wife were making sure she was taken excellent care of. She can’t be left unsupervised. She gets lost, read more..

I'm Not Here

But I set this entry to post while I’m driving down I-40 on my way to see my mom! How cool is that? Very! Okay, enough of me, onto the serious stuff: There’s a couple of girls who would very much like to be able to continue their college education. I plan to donate something in July towards read more..

On the Road

First of all, thank you so very much to everyone who has helped make this trip possible! I think you all know how much it means to the kids and me. We’re deeply appreciative and I know my mom would be too. Access to my blog may be limited or non-existent this week. I don’t know if read more..

The Final Lap

Well, we’re leaving in the morning, come hell or high water! This will be my last blog post on it; I’ll just add updates here as the weekend slides by.

Now $435.02 to go! Thank you so much, @neotigress! Updates will now be here. Update: I just received my teeny tiny YouData payment for the week. Knock off another 23 cents. Funds still needed are $434.79.

Some Good News

Ignore my last post! Just got call from the one brother, so staying at motel there isn’t needed after all. Yay! The amount left to be reached is still $453.17. I’ve broken it down. 23 Special Bundles or 94 of one of these: Lasting Echoes, Rising Moon, Tria’s Tale or 105 copies of Bytes or 158 copies of one of these: Feral read more..

Three Days Left

We’re packed, the kids and I. All that’s left to do is put ice in the cooler and load everything up. Thanks to D buying me that car charger for my phone, I’ll even be able to use Twitter and Twitpic on our stops along the way to record the trip without having to worry about read more..

Four Days To Go

Yesterday morning, I didn’t think the trip to see my mom was going to happen. While my vehicle trade off/up went smoothly, there was only $85.17 sitting in my trip fund. D helped out: he bought me the charger for my phone I could use in the vehicle, drinks and snacks to help cut down on read more..
