Rainy days and hackers
I finished revising my latest short story and turned it in to the prospective market. I have a book review to finish and another short story to contemplate. Then it’s on to the novel. We had some rain on Saturday. … Continue reading
One for you, nineteen for me
I think it’s safe to say that we are finally into spring. It’s supposed to be almost 90° today and in the eighties most of the week. Oh, wait, what’s that? Down into the forties again on Thursday and Friday … Continue reading
Vacation’s over
My long vacation is nearly at an end. I’ve been off work since the Friday before Christmas, but I have to go back for a three-day week tomorrow. Many of the daytime hours for the first week or so were … Continue reading
Down the rabbit hole
I sort of relaxed and got caught up on things over the long weekend. Does signing ~1000 signature sheets count as relaxing? I did them while watching recorded TV shows, so it wasn’t too taxing. They’re for the revised and … Continue reading
56 and counting

Two trips to Berlin in one weekend
Got a lot of work done on the work in progress. Crossed the 15,000 word threshold this morning. Better than I anticipated. The heat has returned and we’re scheduled to reach or surpass 100° over the next few days. No … Continue reading
