I’m on another three-week break, but I have to go to a conference for my day job in the middle of it. So I will be taking it week at a time. I’m hoping to get some writing done this week. My main focus for a while has been getting caught up on the yard.Continue reading “Halleluiah”

Hanging in there
I’m starting my work week tomorrow. I am getting more caught up in the yard. Maybe a third done. It will make my life easier in the long run. Things are more difficult at my day job. Lots of new things happening to keep up on. I’ve made some decisions to cut back on theContinue reading “Hanging in there”
Climax: Chapter 22
I know it’s Friday instead of Thursday, but better late than never. I wrote and finished Ch 21 in time to read at Scribes. The chapter seems to be a success. I have barely started Ch 22, which will require more research. It’s a bit intimidating because it is another courtroom scene and the climaxContinue reading “Climax: Chapter 22”
Last Week Off
My staycation is 2/3 done. Haven’t accomplished as much as I needed to, but I worked hard the whole time. I really enjoyed my visit with family in Indianapolis and seeing iris friend Bonnie. I have cut grass and weeded and worked mostly in the yard. Also did some really needed house cleaning. I workedContinue reading “Last Week Off”
Priorities
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”
