Yesterday was about as busy as I thought it would be. I didn’t have the time to focus on much outside of work. But Wednesday days tens to be slower, so hopefully, I can get some words in today. I’ve been thinking about my novels a lot recently. Songs are triggering ideas and scenes. My […]

While I didn’t get any editing done, I did finish October’s Chelsea story, and made real progress on painting my living room. Our house was built in the 1970s and it shows. It’s a split-level, semi-open floor plan, and my living/dining room is a HUGE L-shaped room. It’s the truly BIG painting project in the […]

Walked into work again, wrote most of another Chelsea story. I could have finished it, but it felt disjointed; which is an accomplishment with only 800 words. I think I can fix it though. It’s a rare one that’s mostly built on previous stories. I just have to accept that and link people to all […]

Walking seemed to help. I banged out a Chelsea story yesterday. I’m hoping to get enough to push it to November. My unbelievable buffer of two years came from writing at NaNoWriMo. The first year, I got a buffer of one year. The next year I pushed it out to 18 months. Then I had […]

I did not write yesterday. It was another busy day at work and when I did finally get some downtime I felt brain dead.However, I am walking into work the next two days and that usually stimulates creativity. I like walking. And I won’t be walking with the dogs, so I have all my concentration […]

My right hip popped out of place Friday night. I’ve been trying to get it right since then and was in quite a bit of pain most of the weekend. I’m feeling better today though, if still stiff and sore. It’s cold up on my mountain. Like yesterday was 50 and rainy. We had a […]

Well, editing. But I was very into and working hard. It felt good to be trying at any rate.No promises for today. I’m still feeling a touch depressed.

Still a little melancholy, but not like yesterday. And there was no writing yesterday. We were busy and I just focused on work. And showing off my puppy to my co-workers. He might even make an appearance next week. He’s getting less and less afraid of the car as he realizes he gets to come […]

I’m having a bad mental health day. You’d think a new puppy would help with that, but I have to go to work today. Therefore, I will lack the good vibes of the new puppy. And believe me, this guy helps. For now though, I just have to get through my day. It’s also my […]

Yes, it’s puppy day. Well technically Saturday was puppy day. Anyway, everyone, meet Parker. He will likely consume my every waking moment for a week or two. Just five months old, and he’s a Chi-weenie, and has been rescued from a hording situation and lived at two different rescue places. He’s touch-starved and has some […]
