Stumbling, but getting back up

There’s a good possibility that I won’t meet my weekly word goal this week. Bummer. I’d been doing so well. But, alas, it was the last week of January, so I guess I shouldn’t be surprised on that. And, perhaps if I hadn’t upset myself and lowered my energy, maybe my word count could have … Continue reading Stumbling, but getting back up

Here we are

I made several changes to the cover for Beat of the Drum today. Now I’m up to working on the full cover. I’m inching closer to having a real book. (grin) I did get in a little bit of painting today too. It wasn’t much, but it was something. And I’m trying to change my … Continue reading Here we are

Wait, January’s not over?

Today has not been a good day. Nothing like a day when everyone tells you that you’re doing everything wrong. It just reminded me that January wasn’t quite done yet. I couldn’t celebrate yet, even though I tried. Bloody hell. So, after several hours of feeling depressed, I decided to go and shower the scent … Continue reading Wait, January’s not over?

Looking forward

I played with Temmy before writing my blog tonight. I hope she’s one tired kitty and won’t bug me. Somehow, I doubt it, but let’s see how far I get. (grin) I haven’t done much this week other than sit at my work desk. I’m looking forward to getting back to meal prep — I … Continue reading Looking forward

Nearly there

Another day where I’m giving myself a little grace. It’s going to be a tight couple of days ahead. I’ve been talking most of the day. My throat is worn out. My head feels a little loopy. What can I say, it’s the end of January. Right now, I’m going to finish eating my few … Continue reading Nearly there

Zen play

Last night I wrote about Temmy bugging me to play. Well, I went and played with her and got Coville involved too. Now, Coville is old going on old. But to watch him jump, bite, and grab onto the dangle toy is so fun to watch. He thinks he’s still a kitten until that moment … Continue reading Zen play

Play time whether I like it or not

If Temmy would quit bugging me, I’d get my blog done faster. Every time I set my fingers on my keyboard, she’s pawing at my leg, trying to drag things off the table, and giving me her little “brrs,” that lets me know that kitty wants to play. It’s an annoying and adorable ritual. Cats … Continue reading Play time whether I like it or not

Word count and wishes

I knew I’d have to write about 2,000 words today if I wanted to keep my weekly word goal streak up. That meant I really needed to do my words first today and not let distractions get me. My word count was down for the week because I’d had a couple lackluster days thanks to … Continue reading Word count and wishes

Publishing and decisions

I’ve been working on publishing yesterday and today. I’ve made a lot of decisions and began charting a course of action. That means I’m going to tinker with a few new (for me) things for a bit to try them out. I’ll make some mistakes, but I’ll learn something. I also started the full cover … Continue reading Publishing and decisions

Hunter

The last few nights, I’ve been watching some owls (thought they might be hawks) hunting. I worried about Prancer one night, and started worrying if I’d have to fend them off of Merlin. Tonight, I watched one of the birds slam into my neighbor’s tree as it went after something. I’m not sure if it … Continue reading Hunter
