I’m in Boise, Idaho, a short flight from Oregon. And I won’t even tell what time I got up to work on I,Q because it would just scare you. But I got a slot of work in before school. This morning I spoke at William Taft Elementary to 4th, 5th, […]
My bag is packed and I’m writing this morning before I fly to Idaho, and of course I’ve switched back to my Moleskine journal to keep I,Q2 moving forward as I travel. There is nothing magic about writing in a Moleskine journal. I just like the size and the fact […]
Someone wrote toe yesterday and asked how many chapters I had left to write on I,Q2. The answer is that I really don’t know. That depends on how long the remaining chapters have to be to finish the story. What a writer does…at least what this writer does…is to sit […]
Apparently, Marie and I were a bit on the tired side last night after getting back from Nevada. Asleep by 8:00. Up at 5:30 with more than nine hours of shuteye resulting in a very perky day for both of us. Beautiful sunrise this morning. I love to wake up […]
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 […]
