I know, I know. It’s late in the day but at least I’m keeping in touch. It’s the day before the writer’s meeting and here I am preparing to write again. More and more is getting figured out about the pond. The first time it was put in someone else put it in and IContinue reading “Fall Break”

Work Gets in the Way
Still doing a lot of yardwork. Trying to catch up and hoping it will be better next year. I’m doing a lot of mulching in the front yard. The pond work also continues. The liner is no good. It must’ve been a cheap liner. My brother, who does ponds, but not my pond, gave meContinue reading “Work Gets in the Way”
Fall Chores Go On
I rewrote the first two chapters of the book and ran them by my writers’ group. The rewrite was easy. I find myself looking forward to doing more of it. This is always good. The group really enjoyed hearing it. I think it will go much faster than the rough draft. When I was youngContinue reading “Fall Chores Go On”
Rewrite
Hopefully I’m beginning the rewrite today. I have Scribes tomorrow and am reading again. I worked last week, and it was a heavy week. We are all doing a new rotation in a new area of work and last week I began my month of it. But that went better than I expected it toContinue reading “Rewrite”
Rough Draft Complete!
Surprise, surprise, I’m back again. I’m very happy to say that I completed the rough draft of my Lincoln mystery novel. More to come as I start the rewrite. I read the final chapter at Scribes, and they felt it worked as a conclusion. The final chapter is very important as it must have emotionalContinue reading “Rough Draft Complete!”

I’m scheduled to read tomorrow, so I need to write today. It’s my first day off work today. I’ll be writing theContinue reading “End of Summer”
Still Working
It’s the time of the year when I can’t attend my writer’s group because of schedule shifts at work. I miss it a lot. I’m spending a lot of time in the yard. The iris are blooming and they are my favorite flowers. Peonies are a close second. There is always a lot of weedingContinue reading “Still Working”
Rainy Day
It is a rainy day here in Fort Wayne. I spent the weekend visiting my sister in Indianapolis. It was the first time I have seen since the death of her husband. She is getting along as well as can be expected. We went to the art museum and gardens at Newfield’s. It was onlyContinue reading “Rainy Day”
Final Chapter
Life has kept me quite busy. Mostly I have been recovering from the death of my close friend, Judy Post aka Judi Lynn. I know she would be most upset with me for not keeping up my blog here. Well, I’m getting started again and have started writing again. Yesterday I finished the first sceneContinue reading “Final Chapter”
Recovery
I know it’s been a while. It’s taken me time to recover from the loss of my dear friend. I’m ready to go at it in earnest. I made up my mind a few nights ago. I’ll be going back to Scribes this month and that will help. We are also planning for our firstContinue reading “Recovery”
