Delay or just lurking?

I didn’t mean to, but I think I took today as a lazy day. I just can’t seen to get too excited about doing anything. Unfortunately, that might be delaying the finishing of my Arlyn story. On the other side, I have been journaling about restarting my art today. That’s such a struggle. And yet, … Continue reading Delay or just lurking?

Merlin’s barking – can everyone hear him?

I worked in the heat of the sun to till the land for my garden. That was some work. Since then, I feel like I haven’t been able to cool down. Plus I have a headache. Dumb. Now, I’m sitting outside now that the sun has set and getting some writing done. It’s very nice, … Continue reading Merlin’s barking – can everyone hear him?

Pulling the threads to tie

Words are coming slowly tonight. In about half an hour, I’ve written almost 200. Yep, that’s slow. But, I’m heading into the climax of Arlyn’s book. Everything is rounding to this moment. It’s like a rollercoaster where it feels like it just keeps making this long, slow climb, and any moment you know you will … Continue reading Pulling the threads to tie

Humline

I speak often in my books about the Humline. So, what is this Humline? Right now, my house is very quiet. The pets are (once again) asleep or very close. Merlin snores near my feet and Temmy is snoring in her perch. I hear these things. There’s birds outside my house that I hear chirping … Continue reading Humline

Prancer in the house

Getting up and writing in the morning always sounds like a good idea until it’s actually morning. Yeah, so that’s me admitting that I didn’t get around to writing. I did get up and I did work on audio editing for a bit, but I just wasn’t in the mindset to write, especially with what … Continue reading Prancer in the house

Next up?

I feel the next idea brewing. I’m not quite done with Arlyn’s book, but I feel the new one rushing toward me with the same enthusiasm with Arlyn’s did. I feel like they are related stories too, but I might have to start this one in order to finish Arlyn’s. I can’t quite help but … Continue reading Next up?

Two hours of peace

Temmy is hidden away in a box sleeping right now. I hear her snoring very softly with a sound like a hiccup at the end. She had another rough day after now getting the box yesterday. I’d gone out to breakfast with my son and his girlfriend — our bike-to-breakfast routine — and when we … Continue reading Two hours of peace

No package for Temmy

I woke this morning with an idea for my newsletter, so I pretty much set to work on it first thing today. I got it all set up and sent out. I probably should have written some fiction. I also learned that the full-sized door gate I ordered to help keep Prancer separated from the … Continue reading No package for Temmy

Projects and more projects

I spent the afternoon working on testing the new app I found to *hopefully* help me stay organized. Well, it’s got some interesting features. And it seemed easier to use than ClickUp, which didn’t like some of the things I tried to do with it. This app makes it a lot easier, especially if I … Continue reading Projects and more projects

Fetching

Ready, set, write! That’s been my night. I’ve been writing for my allotted time and done things like jogging in place and clearing out the dishwasher in-between sessions. Exciting, I know, right? I did get lots of words done. And about as many steps too. Got the writing in. Took care of my health. Oh, … Continue reading Fetching
