Before embarking on my staycation, a weeks ago, I ordered my priorities and believe they are best for my life. I know I’ve talked about priorities before, but I think it is prudent to revisit them frequently, in part, to make sure they haven’t changed. Two things greatly impact my life: I work a full-time,Continue reading “Priorities”

Back to Work
By that I mean I’m home from Indianapolis. I think I’m to the point where I can relax a bit. I really enjoyed my Mother’s Day/iris harvest weekend. I drove down on Thursday evening after packing. Friday we went to the Indianapolis Zoo and met up with my niece and her two daughters. It wasContinue reading “Back to Work”
Rainy Day
The Scribes meeting went well. I think I finally have the outline, so the progression of the storyline is fixed. The group thought it worked. So that means I need to make the novel fit the outline. I used my short outline for this, which focuses just on the storyline and plot progression. I stillContinue reading “Rainy Day”
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”
