Up at 4AM and on the 5AM airport shuttle to catch an early flight which (we find out at the airport) is delayed until 8:30. Lost some sleep with that glitch. I had to wait to creep through TSA before I got my first cup of coffee. Tip for you […]
#20? I thought I’d be finished by now. But I’m crawling closer. Up at 5:30, shower, Starbucks in the lobby, back in the room writing, suspecting I won’t get very far because I’m heading over to The Nevada Reading Week Conference for the day. As we pull up we get […]
2:30AM Rise and shine! Little plane to Seattle, headed the wrong direction, to hop on another little plane to Reno. I managed to get in a few pages of IQ on both flights, and during the short layover at SEA-TAC. We were met in Reno by our lovely host, and […]
Still a bit under the weather, but functioning and writing in slooooow motion, which is better than not functioning and writing at all I suppose. I’ve now left the laptop and switched back to the Moleskine as I will be on the road for the next few days. I know […]
Up early again this morning to get some I,Q2 writing in before two virtual web visits with the student at Buda Elementary School in Buda, Texas and their very cool librarian, Jeanne Ditta. The students were great readers and had wonderful questions about Sasquatch, I,Q, Elephant Run and my other […]
It feels almost like a school visit day… Up at 4 writing waiting for a Skype visit with my friends at Eubanks Intermediate School in Southlake, Texas with librarian Lucy Drenka. I was at Eubanks a few years ago and had a wonderful time. I think this Skype makes my […]
As alluded in yesterday’s post the day started out briskly by dealing with, let’s say…a creative difference of opinion. By the end of the day the difference was on it’s way to being resolved one way or another… A beautiful day on the farm, although I missed most of it […]
Not many chores before settling down to work on I,Q2… Moved a few more pieces of furniture back where they belong, hooked up the TiVo and picked several old films for it to record, which is about the only thing I watch on TV anymore. And now I’m at the […]
The now famous 1996 Ford Taurus, our only so-you-want- to-be-an-author car was dead in the driveway when we got home from Mexico yesterday. Not too surprising as it has been sitting in the driveway for months. I charged the battery yesterday. Started fine, but the poor old thing was dead […]
Leaving Scottsdale, headed up to the farm…getting home in stages. Marcia and Jerry’s house is great. Arrived yesterday afternoon and had fresh squeezed grapefruit, although I could have had fresh squeezed orange juice. Both can be found on trees in their backyard. This was followed by perfectly grilled steaks cooked […]
