It’s cold outside today. No, not just “I might wear capris instead of shorts” cold, 53 degrees cold. That’s like. . . 30 degrees colder than yesterday. And I have to say, I love Colorado. You just never know what you’re going to get. Also, the jeans I was so happy about last week? They’re [...]
I’ll Be Quiet For A While
Manuscript progress is at 48%. Woohoo! I intend to work on bits and pieces this week, just to keep my toes wet, but most of my time will be taken up by WorldCon/Denvention. Loads of fun! I’ll try to remember to take pictures. Have I mentioned that one of Shiloh’s new favorite activities is going [...]
Deadline Met
Pages for my July deadline have been sent off, but that doesn’t mean the pressure’s off. Lots to do, not much work time this month, especially if I want to catch up and get ahead in my schedule for edits. Since I’m not much fun today, here’s a photo of Shiloh:
Still Alive, I Promise
It’s been a pretty boring week, as long as you take out the mild panic building about all the things I’ve put off until the last minute before I leave for residency, and the moderate panic Matt’s been tossing around as he gets ready for his upcoming week of leading camp for the 5th and [...]
Randomania
I’ve been quiet this week – that’s in part because my brain got just a bit fried on Saturday when I finished the novel’s rough draft, and I’ve been doing as little as possible since then in an effort to let it recuperate. Yesterday was our three year wedding anniversary. (Woohoo! Go us!) I spent most [...]
Outside?
Betsy says it’s supposed to be a nice day today, which means she might open the door to the porch this afternoon. Then I’ll get to go out and eat all the bugs and watch the birds flying around and it will be lovely. Here’s hoping! She’s still working on her novel, but she seems [...]
Just Checking In
Sometimes Matt picks me up and carries me around. It was easier for him when I was smaller, but they still do it because they say I need to know how to get carried around. Apparently one time their other dog got hurt on a hike, and she hated being carried, so she fought them [...]
I’m an Upside-Down Dog
Some dogs like to sleep in the sun. Some can always be found within a few feet of their humans. Some are chewers, some are chasers, some are barkers. I’m an upside-down dog. I always have been. When I was a puppy I would sleep upside down in my crate, but now I’m too big [...]
Shiloh Sneaks Back
Hi guys. Shiloh here again. I know I didn’t put anything up over the weekend, but Matt and I were helping our friends move into their new house and I was a little bit busy playing in their big back yard and exploring under their deck. You know how it is. A few months ago, [...]
The Shiloh Takeover
Hey, humans, this is Shiloh. Don’t tell Betsy, but I’m taking over her blog this week. She should be working on her novel, so I’m pitching in to help her concentrate on her work. I hope I get extra treats for this! If we’re going to spend the week together, you should know a little [...]
