Taking it slow

I’m not going to write too much tonight. My stomach has not been feeling well today. As such, I’m trying not to move around too much, but I also want to get some writing done tonight as well as finishing this blog. I also want to turn in early so that hopefully I can get … Continue reading Taking it slow

I did it

I finished the drummer book today. It feels really good to accomplish that goal this week. Then I turned my attention back to Arlyn’s story. As for my intention to get some conscious rest this weekend, I put on Earthsea to watch and nearly fell asleep. Not because the movie was bad, but because I … Continue reading I did it

Every time I think I’m done

Tomorrow, I hide from the world. I hope. It’s been another day of dealing with cell phones, but at least 2/3’s of us +1 are switched over. Now, I’m trying to get everything going on my phone and that’s frustrating. I forgot about an important app and my old phone is now wiped, so there’s … Continue reading Every time I think I’m done

Conscious rest coming up

I catch up on my daily tests today so that I could reset myself back to baseline for the weekend. I’d spent my time writing last week, so I really needed to take a moment so I could have the weekend to write and shop. I’m also allowing myself to have an easy night so … Continue reading Conscious rest coming up

No time tonight

I spent every moment tonight writing. Still not quite done, and I’m kind of wondering if there’s actually more story. Maybe that’s why I’ve been dragging my feet on the ending. I’m waiting to see if the story tells me there’s more that I need to go back for. There’s been a couple paragraphs which … Continue reading No time tonight

Last chapter

I’m now into the last chapter of my drummer book. The last few nights have been 400 words at a time, but I’m almost there. It just proves that repeated baby steps can really move one along. It’s not fast, but it’s getting down the road. Strangely enough, my character is currently on the road. … Continue reading Last chapter

Not so fast

I’m finding myself getting in a rush to finish my drummer book. It’s hard, but I’m trying to pull the reins slowly. I know that I really need to practice endings. Well, that’s actually what I’ve been practicing on in several stories, but this one I’m trying to practice appropriate length of endings. I always … Continue reading Not so fast

Bow tie day

I am definitely reaching the end of my drummer story. I feel the beat slowing and things are starting to wrap up. When I picked Merlin up today, he had a cute little bow tie for Valentine’s Day. He absolutely loves his doggie daycare. He is a completely different dog when he’s there. Here he … Continue reading Bow tie day

More cell phone fun

Yeah, this whole thing with the cell phones has been a complete debacle. If anyone along the way had been able to say, “Yeah. Here’s a label to send the incorrect one back and then we’ll send you out the correct phone,” none of this would have happened. But, you know what, no one did … Continue reading More cell phone fun
