How are you all doing? I’m trying, AGAIN, to get back on the wagon in my attempt to get my life in order. In about six weeks, I’ll have a milestone birthday. I’m not completely ready to announce the number. This is the first time in my life that’s the been the case. I’ve always …
I’ll be turning 50 in February and recently I was having a bit of a crisis about my weight and my writing. You can see the weight stuff at Lowering the Feed Limit. Anyway, Beloved and I talked about this and he asked me if I thought Sword & Illusion could be done by my …
Christmas Day has past and we’re in that kind of “limbo” time between Christmas and New Year’s. It’s not really a vacation time for most people because businesses go back to their normal schedules come Monday (if they didn’t today) and most people have to go back to work.

18,858 / 55,000 (34.3%) Totally not where I’d like to be, but I’m having so trouble with this book. This was the book that was going so well in the beginning, but I’ve come to the “sagging middle” or as I call it, the quicksand part of the book. My characters aren’t doing anything interesting …
  15,711 / 55,000 (28.6%) On Monday I wrote 2,097 words. Yesterday, 178. Yes, I think I need to figure a way to be more consistent!
Actually, there were several all connected. It’s almost like God thinks I need to be shaken over and over again until I get the message! Yesterday the priest at Mass was from Food for the Poor. He told stories that broke my heart. Little kids who only have dirt to eat, families where they have …
I don’t mean something like Hans and Franz on SNL wanting to Pump (::clap::) you up! This is a little more cerebral. Rhonda, my friend and critique partner, mentioned that she had signed up for Sweating with Sven, and since this was in a writing context, I assumed it wasn’t some program at a nearby …
Good morning, cyber world. I know I haven’t spent as much time with this blog as I should, and I will start again and try to not neglect you again. Can’t promise anything. After I’m only human. A lot has been going on in my part of the world. In fact, however, my part of …
