Here’s the first draft of what I wrote last week. I have a tendency to be too spare in description. I tried to keep away from talking heads. Oh, yeah, and I have to find something for my characters to do other than eat. I know that’s a major “do … Continue reading →
If you have a Books-A-Million discount card, did you know they are increasing from $10 per year to $20 per year on Friday? No matter when your card expires, your local store will be happy to renew you before then — I tacked two additional years on my card, which … Continue reading →
Late last night, I figured out where the next scene needed to go, so it rolled off my fingers tonight (that’s called artistic license to say that, by the way) and brought the word count on Threads & Ties to 60,027. Nikki’s gotten herself into a pickle with two guys, … Continue reading →
The Playoffs weren’t my favorite time. Dallas and San Antonio fought to the wire and San Antonio lost. Then Dallas couldn’t bring home the bacon in the Finals. Oh, well. Next year is another year. Trading Rasho to Toronto was a good move. What will be next in the Spurs … Continue reading →

Texas Snakes: A Field Guide arrived in the mail yesterday. I’m not going to add this one to the “In Progress” reading list. Nor do I think I’m going to read the entire book. I did thumb through it last night, looking at the pretty pictures and reading about “snakes … Continue reading →
I heard about the results of my MRI. The good news? No arthritis in my right knee. The expected news? A torn medial meniscus. The link has drawings and will probably tell you more than you thought you ever wanted to know about a meniscus, but I’ve had tears in … Continue reading →
I got 115 words yesterday — the first new words in nearly three months. Today! Today was another story. Words flowed. 2,281 of them. Nikki and Jeff are starting to be friends again. And things got steamy but not where you would have expected them to get steamy. Ah. Complications. … Continue reading →
