Yesterday, I was not on the computer much. Hubby and I went with friends to my parents’ lake and spent the day eating good food, enjoying good company, and soaking in perfect lake water. It was AWESOME. Exactly what I needed. And what hubby needed too. Before that, my friends Carolyn and Beard …
(food/health) Day 2 Sugar Detox
No real sugar cravings yet, although I’m sure they will come. I was offered strawberry shortcake at work, and declined. I also stayed up way too late, and am up way too early, so this will be a short entry. Breakfast was a gluten-free english muffin with two sausages and two eggs. And tea. Lunch …
(writing) Leveled up! Day 25 is in the books
Yesterday, I hit Level 3 in the Magic Spreadsheet. This means that my new word count goal for the day is 350 words, and that I am chugging along. The first Pendragon novella is at a little over 14k, and is coming along nicely. I’m thinking it will probably top out at 25k, which is …
(personal/health) Day 1 of the 21-day Sugar Detox
So, today’s blog post (and the posts for the next 3 weeks) are going to be heavy on food and health things. Be warned. I’ve decided that I’m going to do a 21-day challenge to myself of eating mostly Paleo (I say mostly, because I’m not giving up rice or potatoes yet. I need …
(to-do) For a long weekend
This is going to be a boring post – sorry, guys. I just need to get out what I want to do with my long weekend. To Do: – Update checkbook and budgets – Plot out the writing for next four months – Work out the new website – Revisit business plan – Menus …
(writing/to-do/health) Thoughts on the eve of a long weekend
So, I’ve been back to work on the Day Job for three half-days. Today, I’m exhausted (although I don’t know if it’s because of the two hours at the dentist today to repair a broken tooth or just low stamina), but I have the next FIVE days off, so I’ll be able to sleep in, …
(personal/writing/cooking) We made it back to work!
Started back at work yesterday (part-time, for the next two weeks) and am not falling over exhausted today. Counting that as a win! I go in today and tomorrow for 4 hours each, then am off until Tuesday, when we start again. I think the fact that I’m eating cleaner (we’ve adopted a Paleo …
(writing) A taste of what I’m working on…
I realized it’s been a while since you guys had a snippet of the new stuff. So here’s a bit of the Pendragon Casefiles #1, which is the ghost story novella I’m writing. Mac and Javy are two police detectives, and the others – well, they’ll introduce themselves. Enjoy! “What is going on?” …
(writing) We’ve crossed the 40k mark
That’s right. In 2013 so far, I have written over 40,000 words. That’s amazing. That’s almost a NaNo novel. It might be more than I wrote in total last year. And it’s only halfway through May. I’m seriously impressed. And the big thing is that I’m doing it steadily, a little at a …
(personal/writing) Getting back into the swing of things
I’ve been writing again. In fact, my new streak is at 8 days and counting. It feels good to write again, like I’ve found the right thing that I need to be doing. I used to wish I was one of those authors who could have two or more projects going at once, because …
