Winter Sucks

The snow has been coming down and I’m in pain. I’ve been living on the couch with a book, unable to really think for long stretches at a time. Like I can’t even play video games, I don’t have the mental capacity. Seriously, the Sims is just too much and I can’t follow through. The […]

Chelsea and the Crying Man

It took some time for the noise to register as a cellphone, let alone Chelsea’s own.  The haze of many shots of tequila and amazing food blended with the dark hotel room. Only her dog, Bentley, warm at her feet, felt familiar. For a woman used to living out of her car, the single room just big enough for the bed seemed vast and empty.

Just a few paragraphs at a time

About all I could focus on yesterday was 4 or 5 paragraphs. I’m also at a fight scene, which I almost always balk at anyway. The snow storm has started too, so I’m sore and grumpy. Hopefully, I can just get a little more done today.

so very, very cold

I had to walk into work today and the cold is kicking my ass. Well, actually it’s kicking my hips, but it amounts to the same thing. I’m in enough pain that I’m having trouble focus. Not terrible as we’re not busy, not great if I want to be at all creative. We’ll see how […]

So Productive

I got quite a bit done yesterday,. finished a story, started a story and worked on my Lost Story. I can’t say that I wrote a ton of words, but it was the most productive I’ve been at writing in a while. With any luck, I can get some more done today.

Early birds and worms

Woke up early this morning and couldn’t find my dog. My oldest had let him outside, but we couldn’t see or hear him. Utter, utter panic until he cheerful glomped out of the darkness, soaking wet, and happy to see mom. So yeah, I was WIDE AWAKE at 5:30 this morning. Anyway, fire is going, […]

New day, New me

Feeling much better today if still only at 85% percent. I’ve already gotten some writing done, but it’s a highly charged. emotional scene and I keep rewriting and second guessing word choice. I also have been running a lot of dialogue for my novels lately. I might even have a new plan for the second […]

Back at it, though my back is not back at it

Back to work today. Still a little sore and tired, but not too much more than I would expect for this time of year. More importantly I already got some writing done. I finished one fight scene and am creeping up to another. Might at least get me to that point. We’ll see. My concentration […]

Jacked by the Weather

It’s cold and rainy here and has been for a few days, which unfortunately, set off my arthritis, which in turn jacked up my back. I currently can’t be on my feet for more than a few minutes and even sitting upright for too long sets off bad spasms. So no writing is being done. […]

Roughing it

I woke up today in pain, which sucks for several reasons. The worst and most obvious, is that I’m in pain. But it’s also my work “day off” where I write and garden and do projects, and I can barely stay on my feet for more than a few minutes. I can’t even walk the […]
