Still Breathing
I’m swamped at work. I’m grumpy. I don’t have much to say. I am enjoying some reading. My knee is feeling a little better, and I’m noticing some slow improvement in my lung capacity. Thanks for stopping by.

For now, anyway. I finished my revision pass and sent it winging to my brave and courageous first reader. It’s sitting at 84,352 words of a targeted 90k. As far as I can tell, that’s acceptable. Knee Update: The Aleve/Tylenol combination seems to be helping. I’m experiencing less excruciating pain … Continue reading →
Knee Woes
My PA and I looked at my knee X-rays today. The machine that took this series of X-rays was phenomenal. And the digital clarity is astonishing.

A Few Words and A Head Start
I wrote two thousand words on USMFW this morning. I sat down this afternoon to revise on Twilight, and I found my pre-NaNo work on the project. That was complete to page 151, so I picked up where I left off. I’m up to page 181 tonight, so that’s 8k … Continue reading →
