I love this time of year. Summer is stretching into fall. I don’t want summer to end, but I’m excited for colorful fall leaves, fall festivals and decorations. I have one more summer event planned as I am hoping to make it down to the Indianapolis Zoo. I’m excited to see my family that livesContinue reading “Excited for new Projects”

It’s good to be back! Back online here, back to writing, back to publishing. Today I’m going to the home of a friend with all the material I’ve put together for a chapbook of short short stories by author Edward Bryant. Ed was a science fiction and horror writer who won many awards including twoContinue reading “Progress”

I know I’ve been away a long time. I’m recovering from back surgery. It went without complication, so I’m extremely happy about that and glad to return to my writing and my blog. I’m continuing to try to reach my goal of a scene a day. But I also have some other projects in theContinue reading “Recovery”

I have gotten through the place where I was stuck in the middle of the book. The first part of the novel deals with the crime. The second part deals with the detecting, uncovering and consequences of the crime. It is an historical mystery novel. The section where the story shifted directions was difficult forContinue reading “Back on Track”

Right now is peak iris season. As usual, I went to Indianapolis to visit my sister and peruse her iris. We wonder the fields surrounding her house and admire the iris and try to make sure they all have identification tags. We look for ones we haven’t bloom in a long time. They are likeContinue reading “Iris Season”

I meant this for earlier in the month but got sidetracked. This has been an extremely busy month. April showers are here. The ground in my swampy yard is…swampy. I have to put on my boots to go out there. Grden work has started. I put down the borer control and bought ant traps forContinue reading “April Showers”

The storage area should be finished today, and I can move on with my life and get back to a more normal schedule on my days off. Some friends helped me by renting a truck to move the final boxes of books. On Wednesday, I plan to go to my local writers meeting and read.Continue reading “Today Is the Day”

This title does not seem right. I don’t mean that I am almost done with my novel. I mean that I am almost out of the storage area, after which I can get back to my writing. I have been on a detour from what I really wanted to do to what I felt IContinue reading “Almost Done”

It’s been a rough start to my week off. The last of the three elderly cats I had was put to sleep on Tuesday, my first day off. It was very sad but for the best. I still have the two young cats that I got when the first of the elderly cats died. HopeContinue reading “My Birthday”

Spring is upon us and I can’t say that I’m entirely happy. I like warm weather, but it increases my workload. I’m going to have to start on the garden. There is a very small window where you can poison the iris borers and if you don’t, you end up with them everywhere. If you’reContinue reading “Spring”
