After 3 weeks off, my day job work week starts tomorrow. Another 7 days. I am still working on getting the house and yard ready for winter. It’s quite a chore. Still making a few repairs and have 2 repair people coming out this week. I have been in the last of the plants. IContinue reading “Back to Work”

I’m celebrating the end of Chapter 22 at last! That is the second trial scene of the book. The question now becomes whether I move on and write the last two chapters of the novel or go back and redo Chapter 20, the first trial. I think I will move forward and do the finalContinue reading “Celebrati”

I’m back from my trip to Baltimore, and it was a wonderful trip. Inspiring in every way. I’m inspired to get my yard and house better organized and to finish my book. I actually spent about half a day working on Chapter 22. Yes, I’m still working on that chapter but it’s going well. It’sContinue reading “Trip to Baltimore”

I’m planning a trip to Baltimore to see my foster daughter. We haven’t seen each other in a number of years, so it should be fabulous. I won’t be gone long, less than a week, but we will make great memories together. I sent her photos of the cats. I need to make a listContinue reading “Baltimore”

I have started another work week. Always a struggle to get anything done at home on these days. No more writing yet, but a hopeful heart. Someday I will be able to give up my day job. First you dream of going to college and getting a good job, then you dream of being ableContinue reading “Work Day”

I’m enthusiastic about getting back into the writing, though I still have a lot of yardwork to finish up. The writer’s group is alwaysContinue reading “Charging Ahead”

Work is done for another week. I read tomorrow at the writer’s meeting, so it’s time to write again. I doubt I can finish this chapter today, 22, but I will get more done, and maybe… I’m still gardening. My kitchen is still filled with iris. I’m a big lover of iris, which I thinkContinue reading “Chapter 22”

Too hot for me. I’m ready to be done with summer. It wasn’t a good summer. Toward the end of May we had some effects at work that were the result of new management at the top that can make life an adjustment. My father also started having a lot of health problems and wasContinue reading “The End of Summer”

I have gone back to work on my Lincoln novel. I have begun by researching the court room scene. It is my nemesis. This novel has two courtroom scenes. I’m not at all happy with the first one and am trying to do better on the second. If I’m successful, I’ll rewrite the first inContinue reading “Working”
