Car fixings

I’m into the last two chapters of my drummer book. I worked more on chapter two of Arlyn’s book. Yes, I worked on both books today. Not equal word lengths, but it was fun. Also tried to get my car a “spa day” and just realized that she needs a lot more work. Sigh. At … Continue reading Car fixings

An odd chill in the air

For some reason, today has been an odd day. I’m a bit chilled right now and hope I didn’t make myself sick. I’m hoping I just feel off because of a change in my routine. I just feel quiet and off-set. It’s a very strange feeling. I also dealt with more cell phone issues, truly … Continue reading An odd chill in the air

Merlin impatient

Merlin is starting at me, huffing at me occasionally. So, I must write a quick blog before he starts barking. It’s almost like the day when I wrote a blog faster than heating up my pretzel. I like a good challenge like this. Oh, there was a small “ruf.” I don’t know if I’m going … Continue reading Merlin impatient

In practice

I finished watching Castle today. For a series that I so enjoyed, I am highly disappointed by the ending. Yes, I realized it was probably cancelled suddenly. I haven’t researched it to know; not sure I really care to know either. Still, bad. That just tops off a moody day for me. I really don’t … Continue reading In practice

Sun drenched weeds

I returned to my first story today. I figure I have about 6,000 words left to finish up this story. I really want to keep it on track to finish it this week. That means I can’t let myself get distracted by Arlyn’s story, no matter how much I want to go work on it. … Continue reading Sun drenched weeds

Delightful time

Okay, I confess: I’m having such a delightful time writing Arlyn’s story. I did start off dictating it this morning because I wanted to get through some words, but it ended up not working. I lost a bunch of time. While that did feel like a setback at first, it ended up being okay. I … Continue reading Delightful time

On the move

Before you ask, yes, Coville walked across me this morning. I slept in and he was not pleased with me. But I still got audio editing done and I mastered the next three chapters of Help Wanted, Call Loki. The snow wasn’t bad this morning and had melted off by the time I was ready … Continue reading On the move

Of cats and plans

I did about half an hour of audio work this morning. Woo hoo. That’s how a day is supposed to start. I got some drawing done. I got some writing done. I even tried to get in a nap, but every time I started to fall asleep, Temmy woke me up. She’d been sleeping so … Continue reading Of cats and plans

Going backwards to go forward

Best laid plans of mice and men. I woke up this morning ready to dive back into the audio and my laptop had a low battery. It said 24% so I thought I had a little bit of time. I reached for my headphones. In that moment, the screen went black. So much for time. … Continue reading Going backwards to go forward

Reset life, reset creativity

Feeling better today and not dragging so much. I’ve been trying to get caught up on things tonight, chores mostly which have been lingering this last few days, so that tomorrow I can do a true reset and go flowing into the weekend. I’m looking forward to getting back to audio tomorrow. I took a … Continue reading Reset life, reset creativity
