Made it to 23,991 of 95,321 in PBOTL‘s editing today. Lest we get too excited, this was the easy stuff. I didn’t find any fixes requiring significant work on my part to this point. We’re nearly two years into Inuit’s odyssey. Note to Self: Do not, no matter how tempted … Continue reading →
For those of you who have been wondering since September just why I’ve claimed a photo of an obviously ceramic polar bear as my own, I’ll attempt to answer. I enjoy that likeness. This particular ceramic bear is known around this house as the “Sitting Lomonosov.” There is also a … Continue reading →
Have I mentioned I like this bear? OK. So what if nobody else likes her; I do. I’m on page 165 of 373 (I double-spaced the printout for easier commenting), and I like the story. I’m making notes to fix things. Next time through, I’ll do it on the machine, … Continue reading →
My visit in Georgia is over. I’ve had a great time, but She has recalled me. I’m ambling home via Seattle (check the map–that’s a true amble). I figure the Spurs need me tonight to cheer them on as they begin their Rodeo Road Trip against the tough Seattle Supersonics. … Continue reading →

I felt uncharacteristically chipper this morning, rolled out of bed when my watch beeped my 5 am wake-up, fired up my laptop, opened my Word file, typed in 540 words, and trundled off to the gym, where I had a good workout, but a nagging knee most of the day … Continue reading →
I thought I was going back to work, but She’s not ready for me. So I’m on a personal errand for Her down here in Georgia. Clearly, the Spurs are doing just fine with me cheering them on from here. I should be back in Virginia in a couple weeks. … Continue reading →
After crunching out 581 words yesterday, I achieved 2,272 today to get me into the swing of things. That brings me to a total count of 75,329. 75% complete on the first draft. As long as I’m writing, I’m not thinking about how terrible it is. I’ll just keep that … Continue reading →
She is ready for me to come back to work, so I’m taking a break from being a Spurs groupie and hitching a ride back to Virginia with Her. We’ll begin editing PBOTL.
