When Less is More

THE DAY Yup, that kind of day when I spent a lot of time taking out and less putting in, though I guess I put in about 1500, 2000 words?  Something like that; it was tough to tell. Day started…

A Most Interesting Day

THE DAY First things first: again woke at 4; couldn’t sleep; started thinking about the book.  Finally dozed off again and was comatose until about 7 or so when the husband got up.  Thankfully, no migraine today.  So that was…

Really, It’s Not Your Breath

THE DAY Oh, my, where to start? Well, first off, I must be getting better because I woke up at 2 a.m. and my mind was already going on about the book.  The problem, of course, is that I am…

Dare to be Bad

THE DAY So the day began as it normally does: up; coffee; start to work; eventually deal with the cats and the husband, though not necessarily in that order.  Wrote some more. I think I did a fair amount, got…

Still Knitting and Trimming

THE DAY Title says it all.  Until I finish with all this weaving and knitting and tucking and slicing/dicing, it’ll be hard to pinpoint an exact word count.  So I’ll be guesstimating for awhile.  Suffice to say that it was…

Keeping Score

THE DAY This is very tough to do when you’re killing as many words as you’re creating.  So I’m just slogging along, weaving together the two parts.  In a way, it feels as if I’m writing from scratch, and I…
