Joy just let out the biggest sigh. She’s pressed right up against my elbow nice and tight. Man, I feel like I’ve written about that a lot this year, the dogs being around me in bed at night. It’s because I love it so much. There’s such a void with Coco gone, I think about it every night before sleep. Having Joy love being so close to me at night helps the pain of the void, certainly, but it doesn’t fill it. I have to hold both of those things, now: the joy and the pain.
A productive day. Got a bunch of odds and ends done, which is good because tomorrow I need to get writing done. Final tweaks on this latest book. Hopefully word from my co-writer about what to do next. What he wants to see next in the series. I’m hoping he’ll be interested in taking the lead on a book, actually, but we’ll see about that. If he wants to, I’m in. But, he may or may not want to. I hope he does.
Conference is around the corner. I’m almost ready for it. And Liz is going to London now for Chriskirkpatrickmas! I don’t think I mentioned that. She just signed the contract for it Sunday. Congrats, Bear 🙂 very proud of you.
Miss you Coco. Every night. And thank you Cooper and Joy for sticking with me. You help so much.
Night night.
