Films in the Bush
Today was a lazy day, at least in terms of physical action. I spent it writing through the afternoon, and managed to get another seven thousand words on my latest novella. It is going well and I like the characters. … Continue reading
Writing in the Cabin
I came back today after ordering my textbooks last night and finishing the Monkey Fear work. On the way, I went to Millville and Miriam and I changed my tires for next week’s inspection. It was nice to see her … Continue reading
Not Quite Dark
I made a few motions as if I was going to get some physical work done today, but with a bright sun it was hot. Instead, I worked on my new story, “Not Quite Dark,” and edited Naked in the … Continue reading

Recharging
I went to sleep fairly early, after doing some editing, and soon I was asleep only to wake a few times in the early morning. I finally got out of bed by ten and did some whipper snipping and then … Continue reading

The Fire that Could Have
My time in the city was reasonably well spent. I saw a couple of friends I wanted to see, and ran into two others less deliberately but no less delightfully. I am also caught up on my blog and uploaded … Continue reading

Working in the Rain
