It has been years now...years...since I missed making an LJ entry. At least a little something and a photo. But the last two days, I simply could not manage it. Between physical illness, worry over work and money, and the post-election horror that isn't going away anytime soon, I just couldn't do it ( Read more... )

A high of 89F, with a heat index of 91F.

I want to be strong again. It's been a very long time.

There was nothing to today, except a straining to motivate, to overcome inertia.

The afternoon's film was Christopher Nolan's The Dark Knight Rises (2012).

There are so many things I want to say.

Please, visit the Dreaming Squid Sundries shop. This ( Read more... )

Just after I made my blog entry yesterday, a thunderstorm arrived, and I swear it has been raining almost continuously ever since. Our high today was only 8.1F, with a heat index of 85F. After the unusually hot, dry June and early July, we're jumped back to April.

Yeah, so...early this morning I finished Carrie. Then I sat down to write my little ( Read more... )

A sunny day, and it was warmer. Our high was 75F ( Read more... )

Dreary weather that looks as if it will turn abysmal tomorrow, after thunderstorms last night. Overcast all day, and our high was only 65F.

And yes, I had a bad day.

Still, I began a new vignette for Sirenia Digest, "Terra Mater (Dissolve)." And I made more notes for The Sun Always Shines on TVI tried to avoid social media ( Read more... )

Still rainy, though there was briefly a little sun. The high today was 66F, sometime this morning, and it fell all day.

I spent the morning messing around with the wording in a couple of the stories in Bright Dead Star, stuff that has never felt right, and I'm still not sure it feels right. Kathryn and I are going over the book one last time on ( Read more... )

Sunny today. The high was 68F.

I did at least get those two story notes written today. I think I'll be sending the Bright Dead Star ms. to SubPress Saturday. I still need an afternoon to pick over it just one more time. And there was some weird email related to a couple of conventions (I'm not appearing at either ( Read more... )

Mostly sunny today. Our high was 68F.

Though I didn't sleep much, I was slightly more productive that yesterday. I figured out my schedule for the next few months, based on mt conversation with Bill Schafer yesterday: finish up Bright Dead Star (intro + story notes), get the digest caught up through January 2024, write the sequel to Living a Boy's ( Read more... )

Cold today. Our low last night was 29F, and today's high was only 51F, though bright and sunny. Regardless, the early spring weather will return late in the week, with highs near 70F ( Read more... )

Overcast this morning, then sunny. Chilly, but not so bad. Our high was 55F.

The morning was spent at the doctor, and it went well, but left me exhausted. I spent the day reading and resting and contacting people and making plans for getting back to work tomorrow. I will (hopefully) have the dentist sometime this week, so that could interrupt ( Read more... )
