The heat came back today. Our high was 91F, with a heat index of 101F. But thunderstorms came a little while ago and cooleed things off.

Maybe the optimism is paying off. I did 1,006 words this morning on a new vignette, and...did a bunch of other stuff, like approving the ebook cover image (slightly different from the print version) for Bright ( Read more... )

A sunny day, and everything is turning green, that softest, palest yellow-green of early spring. Flowers, large and small. But there's a chill in the air, a breeze I'd much prefer were not there. I took a brief walk with Spooky, and the air was a little too chilly for my liking. Currently, it's 65˚F; our high was 67˚F ( Read more... )

Sunny today. We made it to 65˚F. It is currently 64˚F.

Cloudy most of the day. Maybe a little rain. The heat has broken. The high was only 82˚F. It's currently 77˚F, with the heat index at 79˚F.

A sunny, warm day. Currently it's 86˚F, with the heat index at 88˚F.

Today was not nearly as productive as yesterday, but I sort of expected that. We did the last little bit with the Vile Affections galleys, and then I sent everything away to Subterranean Press (via email, because the future is weird and impersonal). It is now out of my hands. ( Read more... )

The rain seems like it's going to be with us until Sunday. Much of today, we remained under a flash-flood watch. The high was a paltry 82˚F ( Read more... )

Another cloudy, stormy day. Another day of miserable weather, and we only made it to 76˚F ( Read more... )

It did not merely rain today in Birmingham. It rained goddammit and back again. It was a monsoon, a veritable deluge, Ray Bradbury's perpetually drowning Venus, a frog-strangler. That kind of rain. The sky turned black and the bottom dropped out. Flash flooding all over Jefferson County. We for over two inches in two hours, and the total for the ( Read more... )

Cloudy and not quite as warm today. We made it to 79˚F. There's a chance of severe thunderstorms tonight ( Read more... )
