Sunny, with only a few clouds. Currently, it's 76˚F. I have not left the house since October 1st. I'm going to try and remedy that today.

Yesterday, I tried to write an introduction for Silk. I made it a page and a half, and then I locked up. And I don't have time for that sort of thing. I'm just no longer interested - and maybe not able - to ( Read more... )

Cloudy today. Currently 66˚F.

Yesterday, more tedium. More work on the Silk OCR files, getting the first pages of each page entered manually, because OCR technology is far from perfect. Then more Silk tedium. Then more. Today and tomorrow are the last two days I can spend on this book this month. I need to write an intro sort of thing (I might ( Read more... )

Sunny today. Green autumn is clearly upon us. Currently, it's only 76˚F.

Yesterday, I wrote 1,216 words on "The Dinosaur Tourist." And I did a little more work on the ms. for the new edition of Silk, but it's going to be slow going ( Read more... )

Overcast and rainy here in Providence. Currently, it's 35˚F, but the windchill is at 28˚F.

Sunny today, and I slept better last night. Currently, it's 66˚F ( Read more... )

Kind of an especially lousy night, and it's going to actually be summery today. And I have to manage to work through the oncoming stifling weather that this house creates for itself, any time the temperature outside rises about 82˚F. Currently, it's 83˚F with a heat index of 96˚F (according to Accuweather; the Weather Channel says 83˚F with a heat ( Read more... )

Happy Bloomsday.

We had a few days of warm weather. And now Cold Spring is back full force. High sixties yesterday, and today we might reach 78˚F, but I sort of doubt it. Currently, we're at 68˚F. In my sleep, I visit dazzlingly torrid places.

I worked on The Screenplay yesterday. I wrote about five pages to Clint Mansell's score for The Fountain ( Read more... )

I shouldn't have dared to describe Friday's weather as "summerish." Though it's currently 80˚F in Providence, the forecast for June 1-2 calls for highs of 57˚F. My mood will follow the mercury down.

Yesterday, I wrote a little more than a thousand words on "Le Meneur des loups." I began compiling the manuscript for Houses Under the Sea: Mythos ( Read more... )

Warm today. Warm yesterday. Currently, it's 78˚F and sunny, and the sky is far too blue for my eyes to look at for very long. But at least Cold Spring is slowly becoming something summerish.

Though I ought to have spent yesterday working on "Le Meneur des loups," I'd only slept about four hours, and there was no way in fuck that a coherent ( Read more... )
