We had a productive day of shopping. I got a couple of sweaters on sale, and bought a green dress shirt for Brian, also on sale. I also bought some makeup (a compact with some shadows and lip glosses) Being that it is the first day of the year, I thought of a good “start […]

I finished reading On Writing last night, and found it to be very worthwhile, especially for someone like me, who is working on a book in a kind of vacuum. Sure I have a couple people who give me feedback, but mostly I am plugging away in obscurity, and sort of wondered if I was […]

Tonight I watched about ten minutes of “Deal or No Deal.” Wow. Alec Baldwin was right; it really is just bimbos opening suitcases for an hour. Then we watched eight minutes of a holiday TV movie directly after the suitcase show. It “starred” John Goodman, whose exhaustion and annoyance did not seem like acting; Chris […]

OMG! Part One of my novel is done* ! Part Two is still only really half done. Part Three doesn’t really exist outside my imagination yet. * and by “done” I mean I have completed four chapters that are now finished enough to be called a proper first draft and can be read from start […]

Writing class yesterday was good. As I predicted, a few of the students did not re-appear for the second week, which is the case in just about every post-college class I have ever taken. We discussed detail again, and were given an excerpt from On Writing, which I bought on Friday. I meant to get […]
