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 […]
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 […]
