845 words for Day Two bringing us to a total of 2838 for the month. Took down a dead tree to the fence height. Trimmed the pitisporum bushes. Cleared brush from the corner of the yard. Voted. Pulled a few weeks. We’ve been watching election returns and playing with kittens … Continue reading →
November is rapidly approaching. Yes, I’ll be participating in National Novel Writing Month (NaNo) again this year. I’ll be doing Fooling Mother Nature as a satire. I don’t think I’ve attempted satire before, and I think this story lends itself to it. As usual, I’ll be doing it by the … Continue reading →
A little over 100 days ago, someone posted about 750words.com on FM. My writing has been sporadic at best lately. I checked out the site. The site author compared it to morning pages, but he does oh so much more. He keeps stats and he offers badges for achieving various … Continue reading →

Yes, I’ve been too quiet here lately. Here’s a variety of observations for your reading pleasure. I’m still on Lesson 5 in HTRYN. I did complete about six more index cards. I still have many more to go. I’m heading back up to Central TX next week. I didn’t get … Continue reading →
There’s a lot of discussion about e-Books and pricing. I think I understand the author and publisher view. I understand e-Books aren’t necessarily cheaper to produce than paper books, although the costs are different. The New Yorker has an interesting article this morning asking if the iPad will topple the … Continue reading →
I finally updated my Polar Bear on the Loose editing status bar. I’m using Holly’s HTRYN course to do the revision, and I wasn’t sure how to capture it on the status bar. Word Count isn’t going to work for this, so I finally decided to do it by lesson … Continue reading →
My Bloglines reads are piling up again. I read certain ones but am letting others sit. My Lexulous and Scrabble games are staying current. I need to finish Week 4 of HTRYN. There’s a lot of stuff going on. The roof installation is complete at the shop. Hubby and I … Continue reading →
