Something’s Fishy
Yes, it’s a really bad working title, but there it is. For now, the NaNo Category Romance will be called Something’s Fishy — at least until I can think of something better. Here’s a rough working synopsis: Mallory Luoma wants to belong in her adopted small town. She volunteers to … Continue reading →
More NaNo Preparation
Sunday is rapidly approaching, and that means NaNoWriMo kicks off. I want to be ready to write. I have 31 scenes on Scrivener notecards. The plan is for those scenes to average about 1900 words each. Last night, I read through the printout while watching the Spurs lose in Chicago … Continue reading →
DeJuan Blair, 37th Pick, SA Spurs
I never heard of this guy before the NBA Draft last June, but from everything I’ve read about this young man, I think the Spurs done good. Look at this face. It’s kind of fun to see young men as they begin their NBA careers. Not the ones who believe … Continue reading →

More Contact Dermatitis
Oh, joy of joys. I was pulling vines off the back wall of the new building yesterday. Guess what I have today? Yep. I wore long sleeves, a jacket, gloves, and a hood, but my face was exposed. I brushed hair from my face several times. Today, I have the … Continue reading →
Flea Market Findings
I found some curious books during our flea market wanderings today. I found three geography books published between 1901 and 1920. While browsing the geography books, I spotted another book, copyrighted 1920,1911 with no discernible publisher. It’s title? Fighting the Traffic in Young Girls or War on the White Slave … Continue reading →
Done With Hershey
And no, we’ve done nothing to Hershey the dog as EJ was initially concerned about when I posted that news on Facebook. As far as we know, he’s safely enjoying his time at the resort in Texas (where they seem to be getting a lot of rain, but the enclosures … Continue reading →
