Writing Life

The life most real to me. As evidenced by the preponderance of posts.

Game Over

Well, vacation anyway. I think this is the first time ever I’m satisfied with what I accomplished.  No, I didn’t get all of the revisions in the computer.  I ran into too many places where I hadn’t thought out my revisions (being in too much of a hurry to finish them) and I wasn’t willing […]

Sunday Morning

Okay, my last morning report for a while.  At least a few days, I go back to work tomorrow. That’s okay, the whole point of morning blogging was to get my writing going.  Hmm, could that have anything to do with the way I haven’t been going nuts as I edited and edited, not a

Here I Am Again

I may have slept too long.  I can’t stop yawning.  Of course, it might also be the fact that I’ve got a cat on my wrists, and I hate to disturb him to go get coffee.  Decaf, but still, my morning ritual and it’s hard to realize it’s morning without it. Ah, that’s better.  I
