I saved a word document at work on a jump drive and tried to open it on my computer at home. Gibberish. Not so impressed with Microsoft 2007.

Who am I?
When I look at my Facebook profile, my list of interests includes things like dogs, yoga, Buddhism, martial arts, travel and reading. I think about the people who knew me when I was in high school, and how these likely come as a surprise to them. They must think, “Boy has she changed. That’s notContinue reading “Who am I?”
The characters are fictional
Oh, how I loved The Darjeeling Limited. And not just because we’re planning to go to India in the spring.
Strangely compelling
A What Not to Wear Marathon. I turned it on as background noise while I applied the 2nd and 3rd coats of merlot paint, which I am so happy dried darker than the first coat yesterday, because that was positively raspberry. It’s still more plum than I envisioned, but I can live with it. Anyway,Continue reading “Strangely compelling”
Waaargh
Is it me, or is November just not a creative month? I’m finding it next to excruciating to sit down and make up a fictional scene. If that’s redundant, it’s because I’m trying to cough up 50,000 words by the end of the month, and that goes against my journalistic training to use as fewContinue reading “Waaargh”
Drat
Got a speeding ticket tonight. This sort of thing happens to Rob every other month, but I haven’t gotten one since Sept. 2003. I was on my way to a Weird Al concert then, so you can see why I might have been in a hurry. Today, I was driving leisurely home from a dogContinue reading “Drat”
Update
About that post below… Just had to get that off my chest. I’m up to 26,775 words now, where I should have been yesterday. So I’m only a day behind. Moving forward… As in, quitting for tonight, but I’ll write again tomorrow.
Thinking about quitting
Isn’t that awful? I was keeping up very well with the novel-writing this month, and hit 25,000 words on the 14th, a day ahead of schedule. But then I didn’t write anything again until tonight. I have a general idea of where to take the story, but not a lot of motivation to drive itContinue reading “Thinking about quitting”
Not neighborly
I’ve really had it with the jerk dog owners who share our trail who don’t keep their dogs leashed! Today, one woman politely grabbed hers by the collar, when she saw me try to put Isis in a sit. As she walked by, she said there was another little dog up the way. When IContinue reading “Not neighborly”
Unproductive
You’d think with all this time away from work that I’d be making great progress on my novel. Not so much. I haven’t been in the office since Wednesday. I had a field trip Thursday and was supposed to go on an excursion Friday, but decided to be sick instead. I’m still sick, too sickContinue reading “Unproductive”
