Today was a good day.

A little cool, but the sun was bright and the sky was clear. Currently, it's 52˚F.

Today, I did (wait for it) 1,870 words on The Tinadlos Asset. That's 3,557 words in two days, in about eight hours of writing. Plus, this morning I edited everything I wrote yesterday ( Read more... )

The headache aside, and the not getting any work done side, today was pretty decent. A warm day in November, after the unseasonable chill of last week, after all those sunless days, after fucking snow. I did a little paleo' this morning, after it was clear I wouldn't get any writing done, and then Spooky and I went to the botanical gardens for a ( Read more... )

Overcast and rainy. Currently, it's 47˚F, and our high should reach 52˚F. But the cold will be back tomorrow. Monday's high is predicted to be only 39˚F, with a chance of snow. There was a terrible wind all day yesterday and last night, 25 mph, gusting to 36˚F, and so there went the walk I'd planned. I cannot stand the winds that blow through this ( Read more... )

Overcast, rainy, and cold, currently 48˚F, the windchill at 42˚F.

Yesterday was the absolute definition of frustration, as I labored with the second half of the galleys for the Tor.com edition of Black Helicopters and with the copy editor's vandalism and with "track changes" (or whatever it's called). Over the past two days, I spent about six ( Read more... )

Currently, it's 49˚F, windchill and 45˚F, and mostly sunny.

Yesterday was the almost the worst sort of bad day. Had I not managed to get Sirenia Digest No. (not #) 142 out to subscribers before the complete meltdown, it would have been the worst of bad day. Black rage. Wall-to-wall fear. Whether or not today will be any better remains to be seen. ( Read more... )

Cold here in Providence, currently 42˚F, with the windchill at 38˚F. There was sun when I woke, but it's gone now, and there's rain coming. I feel like I hardly slept last night, because I think that I hardly did.

Yesterday, I left the House for the first time in more than a week, and we went to the RISD Museum to see "Lines of Thought: Drawing ( Read more... )

Cold and sunny. Currently, it's 28˚F, and there's snow on the way ( Read more... )

Overcast and drear today. Currently, the temperature is 50˚F. I wish it would snow. Snow would take away the sharp edges.

Yesterday I tried to write. That's what I do most days now. Most days, I try to write. And yesterday, like most days, I finally give up in frustration.

I finished reading Cassandra Khaw's Hammers on Bone, a decent enough ( Read more... )

It's sunny today. The sun came back early yesterday afternoon. It's currently 45˚F ( Read more... )

An oddly cosmopolitan day yesterday, worldly if only by way of communication. Spain, Romania, Cuba, Australia, Poland, England. I spoke with them all, little bits of business, little communiques with far-flung places. And I read "Fossil crocodilians from the High Guajira Peninsula of Colombia: Neogene faunal change in northernmost South America" ( Read more... )
