At the desk, 8:48 a.m. In June, 2008, I had this crazy idea – why not revive serial fiction? If you’ve heard me tell this story before, you know that the first serial I wrote was the Driver for a friend’s site while she had a series of house guests. You’ll also remember that my… Continue Reading

Countless hours create minutes of sheer awesome
At the desk, 8:14 a.m. I want to share with you this video. It’s 2 minutes long, great music, and has two young men Irish dancing (or céilí). If you have a chance, take a look. I’ve watched the video a few times. I love their attitude and capacity. And, in each movement, I see… Continue Reading
Grumpy
At the desk, 8:25 a.m. I’ve been kind of grumpy the last day or so. Grump, grump, grump. You should know that grumpy is not my natural state of being. I’m not usually grumpy so this is an odd phenomena. I’m not really sure why I’m grumpy, I just am. What I mean by that… Continue Reading
Rushing
At the desk, 10:33 a.m. I spent much of the morning rushing around. We had an Alex the Fey story due for the newsletter this morning. I’d planned on incorporating the last edits last night, but I ended up going to pick up the husband at his work. He works about an hour from here… Continue Reading
The Most Astounding Fact…
At the desk, 7:50 a.m. The most astounding fact in my life is that I’m here. I don’t know if I ‘should’ be here. I don’t know that I ‘deserve’ to be here. I’m not even all that certain how I managed to get here. I only know that, when things were at there very… Continue Reading
Why are authors so boring?
At the desk, 8:10 a.m. Maybe it’s just me, but I’m often surprised at what boring people authors are. Last week, I had a chance to watch a day in the life of Tim Ferriss and… snore… Here’s the video, but be forewarned it’s about 25 minutes of…snore… The set up is good. He has… Continue Reading
After the darkness, the dawn – tomorrow, we start a new!
At the desk, 8:05 a.m. For me? Last year had some super duper sucky moments. One moment looked like this: A nasty feral hive attacking my big healthy gorgeous hive in a fit of intense robbing that lasted for three days and had our basement dwelling crackhead neighbors calling the city, who in turn, came… Continue Reading
Alley sunflower planting
At the desk, 8:51 a.m. I’ve been going out with the husband and Rose in the evenings. They wander the alleys in our neighborhood. It’s a great chance to walk, talk, and more recently plant sunflowers. When we first talked about guerrilla sunflower planting, I wasn’t sure we’d ever find a place to plant them…. Continue Reading
How do I choose?
At the desk, 8:46 a.m. I woke up this morning and realized I needed to do more research on the Niobrara Oil field boom in Northeastern Colorado. …and I needed to do my PT exercises… …and I need to get out in the garden and get a stand for the new beehive made… …and I… Continue Reading
Know what? I admire Angelina Jolie.
At the desk, 9:18 a.m. I have a voice inside me that says, “You always have more to give.” I have a deep knowing inside that reminds me, “Simply by being born in this country, I’ve been given more than I can ever repay.” I have a vague global understanding that what seems like politics… Continue Reading
