A stormy morning, some sun this afternoon, then the heavier clouds began rolling in. The next couple days are going to be more exciting than I'd prefer, as Helene marches across the Gulf and comes ashore not nearly far enough from us. Our high today was 79F, with a heat index of 81F ( Read more... )

Sunny and warm today. A high of 91.9F, with a heat index of 94F.

And a good morning for writing. I did 1,080 words on the chapbook/novella. There are only two scenes left to go, and I hope I will be done on Sunday. Then it will need a fairly solid polish, but still. It will be good to have it done.

I finished reading S.E. Hinton's Taming the ( Read more... )

No, the headache isn't gone. Better, maybe. Yes, I've had headaches last this long before; longer, actually. I think my the record was a sixteen-day migraine back in Providence. This has only last about a week ( Read more... )

Mostly sunny today. Our high was 76F ( Read more... )

And then there was today. God, I can be stupid. The alarm on my iPhone woke me at - it said, and I believed it - 4:30 a.m. In point of fact, the world went back to Daylight Saving Time last night, which I live on all year. But the effect was I got an hour earlier than intended, meaning I slept a good bit less than four hours. By the time I was ( Read more... )

Feel much better today, though there was a lot of pian this morning aroud the site of the wisdom tooth extraction. But I got it under control. And I'm eating solid food. In a couple of weeks I'll be able to eat things I have not eaten in three year ( Read more... )

Sunny today after a frigid night the twenties. Our high was 61F.

This day was so bad, I really do not think there's anything I want to say about it. Oh, except...

I posted this to Twitter today:

Time to leave Twitter again. I'll miss the science. But the platform has become little more than a machine for generating & promulgating misinformation ( Read more... )

Another very hot day. Our high was 100˚F, with the heat index at 110˚F.

I spent the morning tweaking the ms. for Bradbury Weather. I'd meant to print it today, bu stuff happened and I decided to hold off on that until tomorrow. At this point, the ms. is 824 pp. long, 224,661 words. And I have laid in enough paper and ink to get the job done (yes, ( Read more... )

A cold but sunny day. Currently, it's 42˚F, and we have a frost advisory.

I didn't leave the house today.

I spent about four hours today just compiling the ms. for Comes a Pale Rider, layout and all that, writing the publication notes and what have you. I printed out all 177 pages, 56,614 words of prose. I think it's going to be a nice book. I ( Read more... )

I think we almost went to 80˚F today. So, in true Alabama spring form, tomorrow's forecast high is only 57˚F. After thunderstorms tonight.

At best, I slept only three hours last night. I still managed to write about 500 words today, but...it may all have been crap. So, yes, Sirenia Digest will be a few days late this month. It couldn't be helped, ( Read more... )
