So...the sun came back today, but not the warmth. Still, everything's getting green. Currently, it's 39˚F, with the windchill at 35˚F. There were snow flurries last night after all ( Read more... )

I didn't make this entry last night because I was too tired, and here I am tonight, too tired again. But I'm getting something down ( Read more... )

Another rainy day, though very warm, and there was some sunlight this morning. Our high was 68˚F, and it's still 66˚F.

I was up this morning at 7 a.m. First, after breakfast there was email with Jonathan Strahan regarding flap/ad copy for The Tindalos Asset and then email with my editor and new publicist at Tor.com. And then I wrote the abstract ( Read more... )

A cloudy day that has become a rainy night. Currently, it's 65˚F.

This morning and afternoon I worked on the glyptosaur paper and finally got a rough draft of the whole manuscript together (minus abstract and acknowledgements). Yes, I do not write fiction in drafts, but I do write scientific papers in drafts. Anyway, I also learned that Tor.com ( Read more... )

Another better day, despite the damn rain. I just stayed inside and didn't look out the windows. Currently, it's 46˚F, with a windchill of 44˚F.

Today, I addressed my Christmas cards, then went back to work on "Seven Dreams" (and I have got to find a new title) and did 1,108 words. Also, I went back to work on the glyptosaur paper and read "The ( Read more... )

It's going to be hot today. They're calling for a high of 95˚F, and we have a heat advisory. Currently, the NWS says it's 81˚F, with the heat index at 84˚F, but it already feels quite a bit warmer to me.

Yesterday, I proofread "Wisteria" and attended to line edits. And talked with my agent about my next short-story collection (not counting ( Read more... )

Toady was a good day. A bit tedious and tiring, but a good day, all the same. Oh, and hot. The heat advisory continued. I'm a little unclear what our high was today, and the three-day feature at the National Weather Service is on the fritz. Spooky says she saw 94˚F, with a 103˚F heat index at some point. Currently, it's 93˚F. with a heat index of ( Read more... )

Today, I worked on the "Stratigraphic Background" section of the glyptosaur paper. There will be more of that tomorrow.

In the time since I finished The Tindalos Asset back in April, I've written four short stories and two novellas ( Read more... )

The day started out bright and hot, then a thunderstorm blew in about 1:30 this afternoon, and my office was suddenly dark as twilight. And then the wind hit, blowing leaves from the trees. And then the rain. We dropped about ten degrees ˚F in just a few minutes, I think. Currently, it's only 74˚F ( Read more... )
