Today might have been the hottest day of the summer. Our high was 98.1F, with a heat index of 106F.

This morning I wrote 842 words on the new vignette and found THE END. So, tomorrow I will do my best to get Sirenia Digest 219 out to subscribers. Oh, and finish the Bright Dead Star signature pages ( Read more... )

This out to be a longer entry but I'm in a hurry. Sunny today. Our high was 86F.

I was up at 5:30 a.m. after only a little sleep, but huzzah, I finally found to correct beginning to The Sun Always Shines in TV. It how now been truly begun. I figure three weeks and it will be written. It will be the first thing I finish writing after I turn sixty. ( Read more... )

Mostly cloudy today, but a little sun. Windy. Our high was 69F.

I'm not going to write about Peter tonight. Maybe tomorrow ( Read more... )

The weather is staying cooler, which after July and June is sort of a relief. Today our high was 90˚F, with a heat index of 92˚F ( Read more... )

Today was an profoundly and frustratingly unproductive day. The sky was overcast and oppressive, like bruises from yesterday's storm, and the humidity was a bazillion.

I read some of Sam Weller's Ray Bradbury ( Read more... )
