Screwy sleeping schedule is screwy
Written by Ingrid in Thursday, October 9th 2008
My sleeping schedule has reached new heights of screwydom (new word). I was up until around 9am working on TBSOL. I really wanted to post the chapter today but I spent about four hours rewriting a paragraph that I then - eventually - deleted. So progress was no good. I woke up at 5:30pm. No good, either.
My mom's last email cracked me up: "te llegaron 2 cheques $30 y $60. Me puedo retirar..... a dormir." [+]
Another day, another blog post
Written by Ingrid in Wednesday, August 20th 2008
Firsties, I've got a post up at AfterEllen that's worth checking out because it's about Kristin Chenoweth.
Perhaps more exciting than that, though - if anything can be more exciting than something involving Kristin Chenoweth - Malinda Lo has an interview up with Sarah Waters. A video interview at that.
In other news, I've spent my afternoon outlining the entirety of TBSOL - Chapter 42. I outlined 10 scenes, half of which may actually belong to Chapter [+]
Alix & Valerie is now published and available for purchase
Written by Ingrid in Thursday, July 31st 2008
K pointed out to me that I hadn’t mentioned here that the book had been published. Silly me! So if you haven’t heard, Alix & Valerie has been published by Bedazzled Ink.
You can pick it up from Amazon.com for the low, low price of $11.53 or if you’re boycotting Amazon, you can also order it from Barnes & Noble. SCP should have it available one of these days. You can also get it from Amazon UK and [+]
Alix & Valerie News
Written by Ingrid in Saturday, July 19th 2008
The proof has been approved which means A&V is headed to the printers.
Alix & Valerie will be officially available at Amazon, B&N, StarCrossed Productions, etc etc next week!
The publisher put together a little movie for me so I could see what the published book looks like. Feel free to check it out!

Update on the Updates
Written by Ingrid in Sunday, July 13th 2008
Okay, now I’m working on Chapter 40 of TBSOL. Scene 2 is now complete and I’ll be moving on to scene 3. I don’t have a good ETA for when the entire Chapter will be posted but I’m aiming for next weekend sometime. Once again, I apologize for the delay. This time it was just me being stuck.
In other news, Alix & Valerie got a new official cover:
Publication is slated for very soon.
Hope [+]
… etc.

I’ve been working on TBSOL Chapter 39, but I’ve not managed to finish it yet. It has, however, grown by 2,238 words - if that means anything to anybody. And it should, I believe, contain a modified, rewritten version of the “couch scene” from v1. I had been told by several people that they liked this scene. So there you go.
If there are any other scenes from the original that you wish salvaged, do let me [+]
Attention all Photoshoppers/A&V Lovers :)
Written by Ingrid in Sunday, April 13th 2008
Okay, so the current Alix & Valerie cover didn’t fly well. :) The publisher's open to working with a fan-selected artist to design a new cover. This would be a labor of love, but you would of course be given full credit on the published book. If you've got photoshopping skills and want to give this a shot, please send me/post in the comments some image samples (they don't have to be A&V covers, just something [+]
Rambling and Another TBSOL v2 update
Written by Ingrid in Wednesday, January 16th 2008
So, 2008 is upon us and that's kind of ... terrifying. I feel like it was the year 2000 like yesterday.
Anyway, I'm really bad at New Year's resolutions, which is why I don't ever make any. But this year I thought I'd give it a shot. And after a lot of self-reflection I came up with:
1. Do laundry more often - so far this is working out well.
2. Read more books - I've been really [+]More From Writing
