Good night’s sleep. Up at 5 working on I,Q2. The wonderful Marie sneaked out of the room while I was getting ready and brought me a cup of Starbucks. Gotta love that, and her. Busy day today. I’m at Byrd Middle School, picked up at the hotel by the very […]
Up late last night waiting for Maire to make her way to Richmond by train for DC. As a result I didn’t wake very early this morning and was only able to work on I,Q2 for about an hour today. Disappointing, but you only have the time you have. On […]
Writing and posting on the fly today. Headed to Richmond, VA to visit schools, via Atlanta, GA. I guess I should mention this, because it’s kind of related to writing… I bought a new laptop yesterday. This will not be huge news to anyone who knows me, especially Marie, as […]
A few hours in the farm bed… There is no place like home, even for a few hours. And as you can see it’s getting very green here. Up at 7:30 after a few hours sleep. Laundry. A couple of errands. Then…yep you guessed it…back to work on I,Q2. […]
Up early writing… Flying home after speaking at Seabrook Intermediate, which was great fun. Thanks to all the librarian and students in the Houston area! Texas to Oregon is not that long of a flight, but for some reason it’s taking a long time to get there. By the time […]
Yep… I’m up again early working on IQ2. For those who aren’t writers this must be getting a bit repetitive. But this is what it takes to write a novel. You have to show up everyday, and if your busy, or on the road like I am, you have to […]
I must be working hard, or wearing out… Fell asleep at 6:30 last night and woke up at 4:00 this morning with the alarm. If the alarm hadn’t gone off who knows when I would have woken up, although I do feel relatively rested this morning. Gotta love this image […]
I guess I’m working the graveyard shift now… I was asleep by 6PM last night and up at 3AM this morning working on I,Q2 after a decent amount of sleep. I spoke at Westbrook Intermediate in Friendswood, TX this morning, and Clear Lake Intermediate in Houston, TX this afternoon. Westwood […]
Up late, up early working on I,Q2. Sent off 200 page of the manuscript to my editor Judy Gitenstein so she can start her editing magic while I work on the ending. As soon as I hit the send button I was off to Bauershlag and Wedgewood Elementary Schools in […]
Up at 3 and on my way to Texas for the week after a day at the farm… Yesterday after packing, or I should say re-packing, I spent the rest of the day transcribing what I had scratched into the Moleskine the previous week into my laptop. To my horror […]
