It’s been a couple more-hectic weeks than I anticipated, BUT…I’m already into act 2 of my book. It’s moved along, actually. It’s bed time. I’m freaking wiped. Tried to catch one of the last two kitties to get her fixed, but she didn’t go for the KFC and stayed away...

Quick one tonight. It’s bed time. It was a rough day production-wise. I was just knocked off-kilter all day. Sigh. Still finding that balance between ambition and over-kill. And being reminded that mornings are absolutely crucial. They make or break a day. So… It’s to...

So, my dog decided he didn’t need one of his toe nails today. I DON’T KNOW HOW IT HAPPENED. I just came into the room and there was blood everywhere. He was looking at me like…wtf just happened? Ouch. Took him to Dog Urgent Care. He got drugged and bandaged up. He...

It is bed time BUT…man, I hit twenty pages today writing-wise. Whew! Wasn’t all that hard. I think I’m finding a groove. I hope so. I definitely have some things to fix this weekend, and it’s going to take some TIME to do so. But…I don’t think they’re too major. They...

So, the win is that I just did a last writing sprint here to finish out the week with 60 written pages. Done. Did it. This little hour before bed of 9:30 to 10:30 was very, very effective. I think I wrote four pages in about 40 minutes. And GOOD pages, too. I...

I caved in and let Joy run around with Snacks this evening for a little bit. And by ‘run around’ I truly mean she just ran around the yard having the zoomies. They hardly actually played together at all; she just wanted to run. And you know what? She is ZONKED OUT...

Joy is so crazy before bed now. I have to believe that part of it is that she’s not getting nighttime walks right now because she’s recovering from getting fixed. No play time with Snacks, either. But man, she is WILD before bed. Right now, she’s digging around under...

Had much of my writing rhythm disrupted today BUT…I knew that was going to happen, so I made sure I got in some hours early. I can reliably write three good pages an hour. GOOD pages. No rushing. Stopping to fix stuff as I go. Clean enough prose to give it an easy...

Coops has a heart murmur. He saw a cardiologist today and the news is about as good as it could possibly be. Downside, he does have a heart murmur. The upside: it’s a type that has an 80% chance of developing so slowly it will never be an issue, and currently, his...

I was much closer to my page goal today. Sixteen pages. Just four shy. Granted, it means I’m well shy of what I wanted to cover in the first two days, but I’m not focused on that right now. There will be time to make that up in the days to come. For these sprint days,...
