Sunny today and a high of 43F, after a nightly low of 35F, though to me it felt much colder.

I think I hardly slept last night. But I got up at 7 a.m., and I worked. I am having to teach myself again that writing is not something I do when I feel like doing it, when I am inspired. It is what I do that pays the bills, which has always been my ( Read more... )

A little cooler today, though no storms so far, despite a 70% chance this afternoon. Our high was 90F, with a heat index of 97F.

I was up at 7 a.m. this morning, and over the next two hours I did 1,161 words and finished "Untitled 47," for Sirenia Digest 218. It feels really fucking good to finish something, even if it's only a vignette. Later, I ( Read more... )

The heat came back today. Our high was 91F, with a heat index of 101F. But thunderstorms came a little while ago and cooleed things off.

Maybe the optimism is paying off. I did 1,006 words this morning on a new vignette, and...did a bunch of other stuff, like approving the ebook cover image (slightly different from the print version) for Bright ( Read more... )

Sunny today and warming again. The high 81.1F.

Nothing much has changed since yesterday, except that I'm trying a little harder. There's some weird nonsense with Amazon thinking SubPress doesn't have the rights to sell the ebook of The Ammonite Violin & Others (they do), and my agents are trying to work that out ( Read more... )

Sunny today. The sky had that autumn look to it. People are excited about the arrival of spring. It fills me with dread. Our high was 79˚F, with a heat index of 80˚F.

I have missed a whole summer. Again.

Last night, I woke at 3:30 and realized I'd not taken any of the handful of meds I take at bedtime. So, I had to do it then and still get up at ( Read more... )

A sunny day. Our high was 89˚F, with a heat index of 95˚F ( Read more... )

Sunny this morning, but there are lurking clouds. It will be a cooler day. Currently, it's only 79˚F, with the heat index at 82˚F ( Read more... )

I slept better last night. But the day is rainy, and there's a wind advisory. At least they've downgraded the wind speed from last night's forecast of gusts to 45mph to only 38 mph gusts. The wind scrubs my nerves raw, and I have raw nerves to begin with. At the moment, it's a balmy 59˚F, but tomorrow's high will be a mere 41˚F ( Read more... )

It's currently 68˚F here in Providence and getting cloudy fast. We're supposed to have something like a week of rainfall. Whee. The tourists love that shit. And so much for Pride Weekend in Providence. By my estimate, here in the 16th of June, we've had maybe six days of actual summer weather. But at least I have Spooky to regale with her morning ( Read more... )

Sunny and warmer today. Currently, it's 73˚F, and we will get at least to 78˚F. It's our warmest day in a while, and likely to be our warmest for at least the next week or so. Actually, the sun broke through for a while yesterday afternoon, and then we had thunderstorms last night. But this sun is a tonic ( Read more... )
