Since it’s July, and I had the day off (!!!!) I decided that it was time for the Big Clean. Twice a year I move furniture out of each room, then dust, straighten, clean, vacuum, and wash the floors. (Once every month I merely dust, clean, vacuum and swiffer the floors.) It took me about […]
Didn’t sleep well last night. Up at 5:30 as well. So I bring you pens! First, my really cheap Chinese pen, then a couple of the more expensive pens that I’ve found.
My neighbor passed Friday morning. It was a long time coming. And while it was a good thing — she really wasn’t there any more — it still makes me sad. I’m spending this weekend at a cabin in Long Beach, WA, with some friends. I managed to type up 2000 words yesterday.
I keep meaning to post more often. I’m not sure if I will now or not. I’ve finished chapters 1 & 2 of the new novel, and just wrote about 1500 words of chapter 3. However, even though I wrote almost every day last month, I was doing small amounts all the time, 500-1000 words.

I also haven’t had a tremendous amount of time when I’ve been writing. Tomorrow, even though my writing partner isn’t going
Woke myself up from a nightmare this morning. This very large, very imposing man stole my backpack and wouldn’t give it back. We were at some kind of conference, the room layout was very confusing. A lot of people were around, and no one would help me. He kept trying to bargain with me, saying
Tuesday and Wednesday I didn’t write for various reasons, including a lovely dinner with my friend M, and spending 1 1/2 hours working on neighbor C’s stuff. Tonight it was back onto that horse. I was concerned. I’ve been writing an application for the day job, and have only been programming for the last three

Yesterday, after I finished the outline for the novel, and this morning, I experienced a weird anxiety. While I was some what excited to start writing, I also felt nervous about it. I finally told myself that it was okay to feel anxious about jumping off a cliff, because that’s what writing first draft is
