Adaptable

My front yard has now had its first mowing and watering for this year. But I’m slowly losing another night. I ordered more business cards and did some other important life activities. I haven’t gotten any writing done today. I’m working on that now. I’d really like to finish Arlyn’s book next week. At this … Continue reading Adaptable

On the lookout again

I started the long slog of updating my website tonight. I almost gave up before I started. Why? It seemed like an overwhelming task at just figuring out where I had left off and where I needed to start my updates. Yet, it was important that I jump in somewhere, so I did. I can … Continue reading On the lookout again

Adopting another cat

Shh, don’t tell the others. Although, I doubt it will come as a shock to the other pets, really. Let’s just say that this black and white cat (pictured above) was born in the neighborhood about this time two years ago. (wow, time flies, but I figure that she’s just a couple months older than … Continue reading Adopting another cat

Another paperback

The magical girl short story, Hot Yoga, will be out in paperback soon. I worked at getting that up today. I’ve also been working on Arlyn’s story. It feels like slow going here and I know it’s just because I feel the ending coming up. I keep reminding myself to just have fun with it, … Continue reading Another paperback

Recharging moment

My day started early with me going to help pick up trash along the roadside. Then, I went shopping and found a dehydrator for a reasonable price. I’ve been wanting to make bison jerky for some time — I used to make jerky frequently, but then my dehydrator broke and I never replaced it. So, … Continue reading Recharging moment

Family, then words

My oldest son graduated from our local junior college today. His ceremony was fairly early in the afternoon, so we’ve spent the day playing games and going out to dinner. Now, it’s time for me to get some words in. Family first. Now, words. But I’m tired because I got up to go to water … Continue reading Family, then words

Time? Where?

I just realized that on my calendar, I’ve been continuing my “fake” numbers in April. Just happily going along making a chain and completely oblivious that we’re in a new month. I’m so silly sometimes. (grin) Yep, that’s time in my mind. It just all flows together. I’ve never been good with the awareness of … Continue reading Time? Where?

Project notepad and more

This morning, after having an enlightening moment, I realized I really needed to make notes on where I stopped last night. Otherwise, I was going to have to figure out my place all over again when I started. Which was going to be particularly difficult because I’d already gotten myself confused with another project. One … Continue reading Project notepad and more

Chasing my tail

Today started out with a trip to the dentist. I know! What a way to start the day. Fortunately, my trip was short and sweet. The dentist didn’t even have to numb me up to do the work that needed done. I’d caught a couple problems in time to have easy repairs. But that seemed … Continue reading Chasing my tail

Almost done, I think

I’m down to the final leg of Arlyn’s story. Less than 10,000 words to go from my length estimate. I’m realizing my estimate might be a couple thousand off or so, meaning I think I’ll need extra words to finish the story. Still, that’s not a bad amount to be off by with an estimate. … Continue reading Almost done, I think
