I’ve hardly even thought about anything internet-related for two days, and I have to say it’s pretty darn nice in a lot of ways.
We had a lovely turkey dinner with all the fixins this afternoon, complete with entertainment by my nephew and my grandfather’s new dog Molly, who is almost as cute as […]

We’re aiming to move next Sunday, despite the fact that we’re flying east tomorrow and won’t be back until Saturday evening. Needless to say, we’re busy here in the Whitt house.
My new suitcase arrived just a few minutes ago, and it’s lovely. Now I get to pack it for its first […]

The quilt is done, except for the tag. I still don’t know what to call it, but it looks great. Tag info will include the quilt’s name (whenever I decide what that will be), who made it (that’s me), who it’s for and why (that’s a secret), and when it was made. […]

Seriously. Check it out.

I was going to wait until I had time to upload some photos from this weekend before I posted, but that will be silly, since I won’t have time until at least tomorrow. The backpacking trip was lovely, in almost all the possible connotations of the term. The only down side, so far, […]

It’s been a busy few days. At least one rather large piece of news that will affect our financial state is in the tubes for reals, but I won’t announce it all public-like on the blog until all the appropriate people in real life know first.
Props to the October 3 birthday boys: William […]

It’s done.
At least, done enough to send to my mentors. Which is pretty darn done.
Whee!

There are no longer essential chunks of manuscript missing from my novel. All the big gaps have been filled, and it feels lovely to be able to say that. There are, of course, several threads that I need to be sure are securely woven throughout the course of the story, but most of […]

I would really rather read instead of work on the novel today - it just seems like that sort of day. But Will assures me that at this point in his own Seton Hill experience, he felt the same way, and he highly advocates working on the novel every day *before* reading fun stuff. […]
