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 →
Good, solid start. Introduced three characters. Two more to go — maybe. Can’t complain about 2093 words. We got a solid start on the reasons we’re spending this month in San Antonio. I removed one dead tree that was threatening the phone and cable lines coming into the house. We … Continue reading →
Me, too. Well, I know where I am. I’m in the Central Texas location. I guess the question should have been, “Whatcha doin?” That’s was we always say Ajax is asking Natasha when he approaches her. I know what I haven’t been doing. I haven’t been writing. I haven’t been … 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 →

It’s been a quick week in San Antonio. We head back to Central Texas tomorrow. Hubby has a dentist appointment on Thursday. We’ll be there for a week, then come back to SA to party for Fiesta and catch the New Braunfels Swap Meet. I’ll get a chance to meet … Continue reading →
This has been a roller coaster year. On the up-side, I’m thrilled to have been able to retire this year after 28 years on active duty. I never would have imagined I would be able to do so back in April 1980 when I signed my enlistment contract with the … Continue reading →
On my end? Probably not a lot. I’m still reading. I’m beginning Holly Lisle’s How to Think Sideways: Career Survival School for Writers at a beta student. I’ll be working that (requires a new project — oh darn) along with planning the Twilight rewrite. I do plan to incorporate what … Continue reading →
I’m in San Antonio, and we’re trimming bushes and doing general yard work. There’s a lot more to do, but we’re knocking it out a little at a time. Thankfully, we’re finally getting some rain, and it’s coming just the way we need it. Brief showers that stop long enough … Continue reading →
