I will be thinking about IQ2 today, but I doubt I’ll be working on it much as we are driving out of Mexico to catch a flight in Arizona tomorrow. And you can’t “think” a novel into being. Up at 5, all packed, drinking coffee, waiting for Marie, her sister […]
Up at 2AM working. What??? Don’t ask me, I’m just the writer. Perhaps my brain knows it’s going to be a busy day with company and the workers, and the wee hours of the morning is the only time to get my work in. When this happens I don’t fight […]
Up at 5:45 after a relatively late night of writing. I managed to move the story forward yesterday in between the sound of tile being laid and bags being packed. Marie’s sister, Marcia, arrives today with nephew John. We’ll ride up to Phoenix with Marcia on Thursday and fly up […]
I was up until midnight working and I’m back to work at 7 this morning. I wish I could say that I was “working” on I,Q 2 until midnight, but I wasn’t…at least not all that time. I had to spend several hours getting my calendar set for the next […]
I knew my stint in this desert paradise was coming to an end as I was sitting in the living room yesterday evening and Marie started to go over my speaking and flight schedule for the next three months. Phoenix to Portland. Portland to Reno. Reno to Portland. Portland to […]
Up at 6… Took a little bit of break this morning to go to my last Swap Meet. I’m not a donut guy, but I love the donuts at the meet. One a week. Got my last one for this trip and took it back to the house to eat […]
Here’s the blurb for Marie’s new picture book (and mine) , illustrated by Gijsbert van Frankenhuyzen. It’s a beautiful book that took a tremendous amount research and a long time to write. The book will be out on April 1st, but you can pre-order it here at a good price. […]
Up at 6 after a relatively late night (for me) reading. And I think all of those chile rellenos I’ve consumed the past few months finally caught up with me, causing some fascinating reactions. It’s a bit overcast here today, but still nice. We’ve been reading about the wintery weather […]
Up after 6:00AM and I went to sleep early… If this keeps up, in a few weeks I won’t wake up at all. Things are well at La Casa. The remodel is pretty much a wrap. We actually spent a few relaxing hours in the living room last night reading. […]
Up at 5:30 working. I think it must have rained last night, the car’s wet, but I missed it. I haven’t actually seen it rain down here. When Marie got up she said there was thunder, lightening, and wind along with the rain. You’d think I would have woken up […]
