Survived the early-onset flu, Paul Newman and a cool article

Yeah, you read this right.  I got the flu.  Or at least as near as we can figure.  It knocked me out for the entire week, but now I’m feeling well enough to head back to the day job (blech).  Alas, couldn’t use that time for writing, because it felt like my head was gonna [...]

Back to biz tomorrow, promise!

Just thought I’d pop in briefly for a word count update and to wave “hi”.  My FiL has been in town since last Wednesday, and I’m taking him back to the airport right after lunch today.  I love him to death, but he tires me out!!  Maybe I’ve just gotten used to the whole Oklahoma [...]

Not so hot on the word count…

I didn’t do so well this week.  I only logged about 1500 words, which was kinda disappointing, but I got an editing job done, and a bunch of editorial director admin stuff finished, so now my slate is clean, baby!
 
The FiL is coming in tonight for a week, but I fully expect him and [...]

Movie/Music Monday…The Brave One (2007)

The Brave One (2007) –  I watched The Brave One on HBO as part of their free weekend, and to tell you the truth, I found this movie fascinating.  At heart, it’s a basic vigilante flick, but because they made a woman the enforcer, it had a heart I hadn’t expected. Jodie Foster (as Erica [...]

The Kindness of Strangers, Part II

So we’re in San Francisco, and Leigh and I are taking a rare break to sit in the sun of the courtyard outside the hotel for a moment to have a smoke.  Leigh had boogie to a lunch meeting, and for once, I had a precious hour to myself, so I decided to take walk [...]

Labor Day Word Count Update

I got a little bit less done this week than I’d originally intended…just under 3K on Into the Fire and 1K of revision on View to a Kill.  But hubby and I got a ton done around the house, so that’s some consolation, and I’m really pleased with the word count I did pump out.
 
I’m [...]
