Losing Faith

I’d almost view what happened a few hours ago as a sign that maybe I shouldn’t be. THE DAY Out late with friends last night, so a lazy start to the morning and an only okay cup of coffee (not…

Sleeping on it

THE DAY I’d fully intended to return to the book today, especially after working on covers yesterday and giving my brain a rest (and a chance to think about whether I really wanted to include another twist to my character’s…

Easing into the Weekend

THE DAY So I jerked awake around 2 a.m. with an idea for one of the characters–a direction to take him–that I hadn’t thought of before.  Will it change much?  No, not too terrifically much, though it would mean adding a bit…

Outta Time

THE DAY Short and sweet: Saw the monster off.  Had breakfast with the husband who tried to bolster my ego.  Hammered on the book and only frustrated myself because I didn’t have a thing organized or thought through.  Real crisis…

Shot Unit

THE DAY Yet another shot unit, though that’s fine: it was the daughter’s birthday.  So got up early, wrote a touch and then it was off to the gym and then back to take the daughter around town.  Did the…

New Year’s Day

THE DAY As I mentioned yesterday, with the daughter-person visiting, I was pretty much resigned to getting nothing done–and that was true: I got nothing done (well…about 380 words, but that’s it). I might have gotten more done, but the…
