I’m here! I’m here! I’m also writing like I haven’t in years. The story I started last week is 4k words and still going. I’m hoping to finish it tonight. And I mean it literally. I haven’t felt a story like this in a long, long time. I know this story. It’s tucked in my […]

So Wednesday night, I stayed up way too late reading my old Pittsburgh stories. And Thursday morning, in my head, over and over, all I could hear was Matty saying, “Hey, Sis!” And I wanted to see what he had to say to Mina. I lamented to my writing buddy and she said, “Write it! […]

I got a lot of writing done yesterday. Didn’t finish the story, and in fact, think what I did was choppy and uneven. But I got something on paper. And then I did something kind of weird. I sat down and reread about 2/3 of my old Pittsburgh stories. I don’t really know why either. […]

Yes, I did. I start writing yesterday. I’m dragging ass, but I’m doing it. Hopefully, I can get a little more done today. I would really, really, like to get a two stories done this month. I will feel better when I have a buffer again.

Even though it’s cold enough that I’m limping again. Anyway, yes, it’s working. I’m starting to think about her and what’s she […]

I’m sleeping again, which is good. However, my stomach is being annoying. I just feel faintly nauseated. Like if I could throw up and get it over with, I’d probably be okay. But instead I just feel, slightly, sick to my stomach. And this is the second day in a row. And before anybody gets […]

I woke up to four inches of snow and more on the way. Meaning I am once again home. My little mountain town has frequent but explosive storms, and my hilltop neighborhood won’t see a plow until 1 pm. And it’s supposed to just keep on snowing all day. We have a fire going and […]

Yesterday started bad, with a sharp pain in my hip that just wouldn’t stop. So I did a few exercises until it popped back into place. And then, DAMN, did I feel better. I didn’t even lay down right away once I got home from work. Still no concentration though. I limped through the end […]
