We’ve had a ridiculous amount of snow for this area. Seriously. It’s at least six inches over the threshold of the door to the tiny house. It’s up to the bumper of the truck. The other cars are completely covered. And it’s still falling. Supposedly all this snow is going to turn to rain later […]

(NOTE: I tried to write a different blog post. This one has been bubbling up for a while now. I try not to rant on my blog. I believe this is only the second time I’ve ever done it. So you have been warned.)   For the last ten days I’ve been taking an online

One of the things that I’ve come to realize over the last couple of days is that I HATE being snowbound. Seriously. I need to feel as though I could leave some place at anytime, even if I don’t want to. I got out this morning and walked around the property for a while. Boy,

This morning finally feels like I’m having a more normal day. Of course, the snow has already started falling, so we’ll see how long this lasts. But it’s been a week. Hell, it’s been a year. We’ve just had a rough start to 2019. Here’s hoping that the rest of the year is going to

My word count goal for 2019 is 750K. That breaks down to 62.5K per month.   In January, despite being so sick at the start of the month, I wrote 70K.   YAY! YAY! YAY! YAY!   I’m kind of shocked that I managed that many words. Seriously. But I have a good idea how.

I first got sick on Christmas Day last month. At this point, I’d consider myself well, however, I’m still building back my strength. Yesterday, I went to the library for the afternoon to work. (We don’t have great internet out here on the property so I frequently go into town, to the library or to

When I was work ing on the tiny house, back in 2017, I had to drive a lot. Or at least a lot for me. The trip from the property to the house I had in Seattle was between 40-50 miles one way, depending on the route I would take. (Frequently, the longer route would

So, I was sick for most of the past month. That meant that while I couldn’t write 3000 words a day, I still wrote almost every day. In addition, while I couldn’t work for hours at a time, I still would work for a few hours every day. Because I was so concerned with making
