Day 1,722: Back to Werk
I wrote 2,000 words today. This was on a short story/novella for my VIP readers. Because of some email service glitches, I won't be able to send it to them tomorrow morning, but that's just as well. There are some kinks in the story I want to work out, anyway. Namely,...
Day 1,721: Happy Kids
Liz and I just spent the evening with the King kids, and oh are they just the best. They're just such happy kids. So smart, so outgoing and energetic, so fun and creative...and well-behaved. They came back recently from a trip to France. Matt and Cat have both been...
Day 1,720: Betas
I sent the rough draft of Escape From Red Tower off to my beta readers today. It took me several hours to put that together, which I wasn't expecting 😛 But, it's off... ...and going through all those chapters and all those pages actually reminded me that this book IS...
Day 1,719: RIP Water Bottle
RIP Water Bottle. We had a great run, you and I. You kept my water cool, and I drank from you. You had a thermos lining that was probably meant for hot tea, but I filled you with fridge water instead, and oh, did you keep it so so refreshing. It was a good...
Day 1718: Redirected & SSL Certified
Woooooof. Shoutout to Bilc Raul, a blast from my past, and a gentleman of renown! Thanks to him, all my old links on ze Facebook and Twitters will now automatically redirect to my new site, and then he ALSO got me set up with the new SSL requirements, which was a...
Day 1,717: Words Complete
Oh, how I've wanted to write this for so, sooo long about this (second) first draft of my second novel: words complete! I finished the story today. It's not "the end," since it's the second book in the trilogy (and third, but more on that in a second)...but THIS...
Day 1,716: Comedy!
Liz and I went out to see a comedy show tonight. Her former cast-mate from Disjointed Chris was in town, and his long-time show partner Moses runs a regular night downtown, PLUS her friend KT was also going to be there...and so we went. It was an *excellent* lineup....
Day 1,715: In the Midst of the End
I'm in the midst of the end of my book. Things are becoming so much clearer now. So much clearer. Finally! Oh, finally... Hopefully I finish the draft tomorrow. I just thought of some wonderful stuff to cover in the last few pages; the lessons we've learned. The...
Day 1,714: It’s Different
It was hot again today...but cooler than it's been! 🙂 Liz and I were able to take the pups out together for a nice, long, full walk for the first time in two days. It was still warm, like 85º with the sun down, but that's a hot hell of a lot better than triple...
Day 1,713: Toe Beans
I'm sitting here in front of my keyboard right now, hand on my chin, trying to figure out how to 'package' my day today...and coming up short. It was a weird day. I was pretty chilled out and happy for part of it, and rather anxious and restless for another part of...
