I got work done. Not quite as much as I would have liked, but better thna nothing. Better than nothing is always, you know, better than nothing. I read everything written thus far on "A Nameless Person of Mysterious Origin," and I did about 500 more ( Read more... )

Overcast most of the day, but I don't think there was any rain. We could really use some rain. It's been a long time, and I'm beginning to worry about forest fires, which tend to happen here in the spring and the autumn. Today's high was 77F ( Read more... )

Let's make this short. Overcast and damp all day. The high was 75F, and we have a wind advisory in effect.

So, today I sent off the first 11k words on what I hope will be my next novel, an actual novel-length novel, The Night Watchers. That's what I have been working on. I will post more details when I can. I will say, it's not much at all like ( Read more... )

A cloudy, damp day. There was a brilliant red sunrise and little sunlight here and there, but not much. The high was 65˚F ( Read more... )

I woke at 5:30 a.m. to a dusting of snow, the air temperature about 29˚F. The sun came out just after damn and melted it all away, though it brought little heat. Our high was only 39˚F. We currently have a freeze warning and a wind advisory, and it's expected to drop as low as 22˚F tonight, but be back up to at least 55˚F tomorrow. Ugh. But at ( Read more... )

Most of this entry was written yesterday even, but those dread Technical Difficulties stopped me from posting it. So ( 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... )

Sunny and almost hot so far today. Currently, it's 84˚F, with the heat index at 89˚F.

Yesterday, I wrote 1,360 words on "Wisteria" and found THE END of the story. It will be featured in Sirenia Digest No. 164 (September).

We saw a Mediterranean house gecko (Hemidactylus turcicus) clinging to the outside of one of the windows last night, the ( Read more... )

Twilight here, and the cicadas are singing loud as chainsaws. It's one of my favorite sounds on earth, cicadas. Currently, it's 86˚F, with the heat index at 89˚F.

Today, I did another 1,005 words on "Wisteria."

Tonight, we're giving the new Amazon superhero thingy, The Boys, a try. It wants really badly to be The Watchmen, if The Watchmen had ( Read more... )

Currently, the cicadas outside my office window say it's 73˚F.

On this day in 2009, The Red Tree was released, so that's ten very long years. If you haven't read it, I hope you will, and there's even an audiobook from Audible, if you don't mind that Sarah Crowe sounds bizarrely like Pamela Swynford De Beaufort ( Read more... )
