waiting for the weekend

Worknights just seem too short to get anything done. A few rounds of laundry, trying to balance the checkbook, and dirty dishes and there's not a lot of time left afterward to much of anything else. It always seems worse in the Spring, though. The long winter has dragged on, and we're all waiting to burst into life again, like flowers finally pushing upwards. I can feel that there's energy on the horizon. But it isn't quite there yet....

Love Wins, don't wait

My understanding is that the charity anthology Love Wins, won't be available for very much longer. If you were thinking of grabbing this excellent set of stories (with my humorous and romantic "Prevailing Zzz's" as part of it), then you should do so very soon, before it is no longer available!

loosing steam, watching tv

It's a busy week, so I've lost some steam with writing. But I have caught some of Patriot Act on Netflix. Funny, sharp, and smart. Anyone else watch it?
(I should clarify -- by 'some', I mean I have now watched all of the episodes.)

review: Hello, Universe

Hello, Universe by Erin Entrada Kelly

This book was captivating. Usually I listen to audiobooks while I'm doing something else. So, I finished the something else I was doing and didn't want to move on to the next thing where I'd have to stop listening, so I stayed put and found something to do with my fingers--untangling knots in the fringe of a blanket, for goodness sake--and kept right on listening. The characters in this book are interesting and varied, and even though you know the author is really the 'universe', the way everything resolves is satisfying. It is a story about friendship, and of children feeling isolated because of their own personal attributes, and still finding that friendship.

current project

I got 2k words down today, which was fabulous. I'm now up to about 7k words. I am not worrying about anything making sense yet, that's what editing is for!

doing it for myself

Just very glad it is Friday night. I'm making a casserole. This way, when I come home from work tomorrow, I'll have leftovers that I know will be ready to go. (I need some kind of doing it for myself hashtag that isn't crazy long. Is there one out there already?)
