Yes, I am. I got so much done today, and I’m finally sitting down to write. We’ll see how it works out. But I spent my day organizing, sanding, gardening and cleaning. I’m still doing small things in my kitchen, a truly endless project. And we’re trying a back porch garden, and we’re repotting refuse […]
While sitting down to write at 11 am on Mondays is starting to feel more natural, I’m having trouble finding the time at work. For one thing, I’m now used to reading in my down time at work. I’m reading like I used to do in middle school. It’s glorious. And very hard to give […]
While the itchy eyes are still a thing, randomly, I’m finally past the super seasonal allergies. And with the warmer weather, of course, I can do more projects. However, after last year, I know I need to shift my writing times. I cannot work outside during peak sun hours. I will burn. So, writing time […]
Chelsea’s fingers drummed against her steering wheel as she glared into the dark streets. Velvet winter night had taken over most of the city, but between worrying about Jack and Amber and having to be in New York, her nerves were raw.
It was crazy. I have never, ever been so sick from seasonal allergies in my entire life. I lived in the Olympic rain forest where it rains pollen from the trees and was never hit this hard. I’m still fighting them, itchy eyes and sore throat for the win. All that being said, I am, […]
As the art show ended, I realized I had never finished editing for May’s Chelsea story. I figured I’d post the week after and apologize. But then my vacation to the coast reared it’s wonderful head from the sea, and I happily tossed all responsibilities to after-vacation-Kate. Unfortunately, after-vacation-Kate came down with the worst case […]
I’m finally feeling good physically, and things settling down with the art show. The lead up to the opening this weekend will be stressful, because that’s just how it is, but, really, both my boss and I are laughing at how ahead of the game we are. And with my kitchen done being refurbished, I […]
Yes, my hell week is over. 85% of the art show has been completed, and yes, I am very tired. Well, I was. Today I’m more hungover on too much pernil and candy, but that’s the feast of the giant chocolate bunny for you. I’m planning on some writing today for sure. It’s quiet and […]
So my job has an annual art show, and this year we switched it from Fall to Spring. And normally we’re fighting to get everything done between the end of summer (a busy time for us) and the beginning of fall (a busy time for everyone else). And with the switch, we used our downtime […]
The old, uneasy feeling of too many people watching her slithered down Chelsea’s back as she rang Andy’s doorbell. She truly hated New York City.
When the camera on the door didn’t move, she rang again. After waiting far too long for Andy to acknowledge her, Chelsea raised a fist and banged a few times. “It’s me. Open up.”
Words That Burn Like Fire
