Writing Life

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

A Productive Saturday?

Would you believe I did laundry before late Sunday?ย  Washed dishes and dusted the living room and straightened the porch?ย  (Which, of course, was promptly disheveled again, by the resident munchkin…) Probably because I posted the new fanfic chapter on Friday night, and the chapter after that needs some time before I go back and […]

Great and Not-So-Good

Start with the bad news. My dog is not feeling well. I’ve cleaned up several–incidents–already. And he wants to sit on me–not a good time for that–and be with me and be close to me and get stepped on by me… I’ve cleaned up two Hope incidents too, and I had to pick her up
