The all-knowing and all-powerful “they” say it takes 3 weeks to establish a habit. Now that September is thankfully behind me, I’m hoping to prove “them” right. Continue reading
All Too Busy!
I’ll be scarce in Blogland the next few weeks. We have a huge report due at the end of the month (several hundred pages by the time it’s done), and I’m trying to set up a new computer (and learn Windows 10) at the same time. Writing is taking a serious hit. 😦
So please accept my apologies for not stopping by your posts for a bit!
More Summer Musings — Because It Is Still Summer Here
Well, summer’s entering its final month. And despite the Halloween blitzes in the stores, my brain refuses to believe autumn is already upon us.
I can’t believe I reached my camera in time to snap some photos. This is a view from a back window of our house.
Random Summer Musings

Damn The Writing Rules—What Do Readers Like?

A Newly Drafted Manuscript Is Like Schrödinger’s Cat
Have I confused anyone yet? If you’re a fan of “The Big Bang Theory,” you might remember Sheldon using Erwin Schrödinger’s thought experiment when both Penny and Leonard, wondering if they should follow through on a date, asked him for advice. (We’ll just skip over the fact that Sheldon would be one of the last people I’d ask for relationship advice….) Continue reading
An Anniversary
This is a brief post. Today marks the sixth anniversary of the day I first sat down at the computer and began writing a novel.
This seems a great photo for a writing prompt. Any takers?
A Pause, A Scramble, And A New Routine
Not my normal posting day, I know, but I wanted to get in an early April update. March is thankfully behind me. If everything had gone to January’s plan, it would’ve been hectic enough with the move. But Life apparently decided that would be too simple. Continue reading
Sideways And Forward With No Backward
February was a mixed month for me. On one hand, I made continued progress on the manuscript. On the other, life is still in the waiting game. And to borrow a third hand, the move to the new house draws even closer.
