I guess my morning count is going to stand for today. I’m really busy at work right now, and if I weren’t writing in the morning, I probably wouldn’t be getting anywhere at all. Having a glass of wine after another long and busy day. Might read…
This morning’s experiment in getting up earlier to write might have been made better by -Going to bed a bit earlier. I was up until 11 reading Claire DeWitt and the City of the Dead, and basically had to force myself to PUT IT DOWN. -Maybe not…
I put this on Twitter (and therefore Facebook), but not in the one place I should have: On Sunday I rolled over 70,000 words on The Black Hour. Woot! Done? Nope. But getting closer. My original deadline was June 5. My new goal is July 8. That’s…
Lunch break. Not really that cozy. I’m at CosÃ, but it’s cold outside and, on the way over, I realized that I didn’t actually feel that well. Tired, head sorta heavy, basically blah-ish. Probably just tired. It had better not be another Major U-provided case of The…

Now that work has returned to (still rather busy but) normal, my hope is to begin writing again. And by that, I mean take back writing by the throat. What I’d really like is to have a full first draft of this book done, then let it…
I think I’ve finally got down what I’m going to say at the event at my high school. Good thing, since it’s a week from today. After that’s over, I’ll come back here and post some of it. In the mean time, I’ll try to keep from…
This was supposed to be a writing blog, but guess what? I’m not writing. This is a problem on a couple of fronts, but I have high hopes that after a few more hurdles I will be able to pick up my lunch-hour habit again. One of…
Survived SNOWPOCALYPSE by, basically, staying inside as much as possible. Ursa did not get a walk one morning. We paid our neighbor $20 to do the walk up to our front door (he has a snowblower, and we don’t.) My flight was canceled and rebooked automatically for…
