Another Hitchcock film down! Such a fun hang, each time. Learning so much. This one was interesting because I could finally see the makings of an actual Hitchcock character. They always have a secret, you know? That tension between wanting to tell the truth and not...

Kitties are fixed! They’re resting in the bathroom, very tired, very cramped, and very ready to go back to their lives. Poor things. They get released tomorrow morning. I cannot WAIT to let them go. I hate keeping them in there like that, so scared and unhappy....

Okay. So, I have three community kitties in my bathroom right now, all hunkered down in their little cages. They did NOT like getting trapped, but it’s over. They’re all covered up in the dark, which helps them to relax. Bingo even at some food in there. Snacks and...

A quick public service address for my fellow authors out there: Vanity Presses are a scam. Avoid them at all costs. What’s a “vanity press?” It’s a company that sells services to get your book published. Okay…so why is that evil? Good question. Here’s why: A publisher...

Home and back to work! Ahhhh. It feels good. A wonderful visit over the weekend, truly. TRULY. It was so nice to see Ryan and hang out. Miss him. And hang with Lisa and Penny, too. Love them so much. It’s also really, really nice to be home. And I’m home for a nice...

Introduced a good friend tonight to the show Alone. He loved it. I’m so happy. I hope he watches it. Another lovely day up here in Ashland. Penny, you guys—my friend’s almost-five-year-old daughter—is so freaking sweet. I have had such a good time hanging out with...

Played mini-golf in the afternoon sun today…mistake. We were all WIPED from that, lol. It was fun, though. We’ve been having an amazing time visiting up here with Ryan, Lisa and Penny. SUCH a good time. There’s such an age difference between 3 and (almost) 5, man....

We’re up visiting Ryan, Lisa and Penny. It’s so lovely. Beautiful weather. They have chickens, and they’re adorable. Penny is adorable. Ashland is adorable! It late tho. I’m EXHAUSTED. Flying, man. It’s so tiring. Night night.

Nothing better than a shower before bed. It’s funny, I used to be a shower-in-the-morning person. Helped me wake up, etc. But Liz convinced me of the shower-before-bed methodology as being superior. Then you sleep CLEAN in your bed. And that’s magic. Writing today was...

Less crushing today, but still crushing! I’ve…gotten…SO MUCH work done in the past two days. It’s a glimpse into what I can do. I just need to make is sustainable. That’s the trick. That’s the rub. I can work so much faster; the block is mental. I’m trying y’all. I...
