I promise I’m writing today. No really, I am. I’m writing about Lydia and Damien trying to move (but not kill) an 80-pound purple porcupine that shoots poisoned quills at anything it thinks is a threat. It’s great. Also, I have this really adorable footage of Shiloh chasing her tail, which she tends to do [...]
Back to Work
As anticipated, I got very little work done over the weekend between visits with friends and family. On the other hand, it was really great to catch up with everybody. We hit up Minella’s Diner and Angelo’s Pizza, which was just heavenly, and even found a water ice stand still open this late in the [...]
Reasons I Frequent Certain Coffee Shops
I just got a free steamer because I come in so often the girl knows me. Also, I’ve written more in the last hour than in the last three days. What’s up with this wackiness? No time to elaborate. Must keep working.

The Glory of Defeat
I’ve come to the conclusion that the scene I’ve tried to get through or, perhaps more aptly, get past all month just isn’t going to cooperate.

Come See The Pretty Picture
Today’s a Writing Day. I can feel it in my bones. I woke up at 3:30 and almost got out of bed to start writing because I felt wide awake and wanted to write. Most days it wouldn’t have mattered much, but I actually have to be somewhere at 9am, and I can’t miss that, [...]
