Overcast all day, but no rain. Currently, it's 75˚F ( Read more... )

The freeze warning continues. Currently, it's 36˚F, but with no windchill. Another sunny day today.

And a productive one. I did 1,047 words on The Tindalos Asset. And some editing for continuity. There are three sections left to write. Also, I talked through a lot of plot/story stuff with Spooky this morning, before she headed out to do errands. ( Read more... )

Though we were promised sun today, the drizzle and gloom and cold lingers. Currently, it's 40˚F, windchill at 34˚F, misty, foggy, shitty.

No writing yesterday.

I did manage to finish Philip Pullman's The Amber Spyglass. And that was a herculean effort, sheer fucking force of will, stubborn determination, slogging through that wretched novel. I ( Read more... )

I woke this morning to snow. just a light dusting, but snow, all the same. I swear, it followed me south. It was a very cold day today, and it's going to be a very cold night. The freeze warning that began yesterday continues through tonight. Currently, it's 29˚F, with the windchill at 24˚F. But tomorrow it's supposed to reach 56˚F. We saw a hint ( Read more... )

A bad day, but....I'm not going to get into that.

I did a bunch of catching up on email stuff, so at least there's that. Also, the last thing in the world I would have believed is that I'd love Season Two of Westworld, so great was my hatred for Season One. And yet...I really adored Season Two, which we watched over the last three nights. ( Read more... )

I'd like to say, "Today was a better day." And, in the very strictest sense, I suppose it was. But only just barely. I got through some of the email that's piled up. Not much else.

I won't belabor the details.

So, here on the first day of spring, Providence is under a winter storm warning, and we're about to be hit by the fourth nor'easter since March 1, only twenty days ago. We're looking at between seven and seventeen inches of snow. Fuck this. But I take it as Providence's parting shot. This is the last spring I will lose to New England. This time ( Read more... )

Another night entry. It's 41˚F here in Providence, with the windchill at 34˚F.

No work today except for a bunch of email that backed up while we were away.

I'm actually amazed I got that much done.

Later,

Sunny today, and it is currently 77˚F. We're having a heat wave.

Yesterday, I wrote 1,533 words on "La Bell Fleur Sauvage." Today, I have to take a break to do an interview for an Spanish website and answer email that's been piling up. But I still think I'll be able to finish this beast by Friday evening.

TTFN,
Aunt Beast

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

I have the Publisher's Weekly review of Dear Sweet Filthy World:

The 28 stories (most previously available only in her e-zine, Sirenia Digest) in Kiernan’s newest collection of dark fiction (after Beneath an Oil-Dark Sea) explore the human and inhuman ( Read more... )
