Days Off

Today I’m beginning 21 days off work. A staycation. I will be going to my sister’s house for our annual iris pilgrimage. We exchange iris, label iris and do all things iris. So there goes a couple of days. I desperately need to do some work in the yard. Unfortunately, that has to be myContinue reading “Days Off”

Courtroom Dramas

As you know I’ve been having a slow go of finishing the rough draft of my novel. I got to the first of two courtroom scenes at the end and found they just didn’t hold the reader’s interest. They interested me because it is the conclusion of the events I’ve been writing about, but IContinue reading “Courtroom Dramas”

Beautiful Day

It’s absolutely gorgeous outside in northern Indiana. What a day to try, try again. I’ve been sick. I had to pick up a lot of days at work and believe it weakened my system because I don’t get enough sleep when I work. But that is over now. I need to write, garden and cleanContinue reading “Beautiful Day”

Getting Serious

I need to get really serious about the writing in terms of production, so I can get these books out this year. I’m really excited about it and the next projects to come. I hope they will be well-received and will need to find ways to let you and other readers know when they areContinue reading “Getting Serious”

Let’s Write

Ok. The Oscars is over and done. It was a wonderful party. Now, I’m back where I was last time. I have to write before the Scribe meeting. I’m determined it won’t take me as long to get started as last week off. I don’t think this week will be as busy as last time,Continue reading “Let’s Write”

Writing Again

Or, I will be. Later today. I have to read at Scribes tomorrow. We will see how far I get. I’m on my way to the dentist for a routine visit in a moment, then home to devote myself to writing. I wonder if it is this way for many writers. Obviously, not all writers.Continue reading “Writing Again”

Still Not Writing

I spent the week doing medical stuff, not only for me, but for Dad. Then I cleaned on my house. It still needs more cleaning but is a lot better than it was. Life can be overwhelming. I get a lot done, but there is still so much to do. All of it seems important.Continue reading “Still Not Writing”

The Family Museum

I’m back from having my medical testing and no problems were found. The whole issue turned out to be the result of a typo where the word ‘No’ was omitted. Oh, well. Now, tomorrow, I’m driving my father to a medical procedure bright and early in the morning. Today, I need to clean and organizeContinue reading “The Family Museum”

February

I’m coming back to life, but I have another short delay. I was hoping to write and go back to my writer’s meeting this week, but I have some medical screening tests, better safe than sorry, that I need to do which will take up my first two days off. Still, I will do whatContinue reading “February”

Moving On

Christmas is finally done. I’m skipping over Valentine’s Day. Not enough time. I am a person who likes my holidays. No new writing yet, but I’ve started thinking about it and getting anxious to complete some projects. This is my week to work and the little time I have in the evening before bed getsContinue reading “Moving On”
