“Raindrop”
If I followed a
raindrop through its cycle, where
would we fall again?

Actually Nearing the Finish Line
Ugh. The tying down of plots and characters continues.
As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, part of the delay on finishing Manuscript 1 of “Jaed and Aston” has been in trying to parse out the finishing plot points for each of my characters. The biggest difficulty I’ve found in this process has been in fitting the final pieces for each character together concisely, without jamming too much info/action into one section.

Haiku Sunday – Mud 2
“Mud 2”
Caked-on mud bakes,
limbs sun-cast into bricks – my
earthenware armor.

Audiobooks and Critical Listening: Shockwave by John Sandford
Do audiobooks count for my Goodreads reading goal? I feel like they should.
Future Father-in-law gave me a few audiobooks on CD for Christmas this year, and it took me a while to pop one into my car’s stereo. I was hesitant about this for a couple of reasons: Continue reading “Audiobooks and Critical Listening: Shockwave by John Sandford”
Haiku Sunday – Wind / Fu
“Wind / Fu”
Air does not settle.
Always moving, it surrounds

dreaminsanity: Earth Day, Humanism, and Environmentalism
Earth Day is probably the most concerted effort to unite people around the world in positivity. The collective uplifting of the human spirit and natural world is seen in profile pictures on Facebook, in campaigns by companies and organizations all over the world, and in pledges by governments to act on their commitments to the environment. In my mind, Earth Day is the most significant act of humanism we have currently exhibited. As Wendell Berry famously said: “The earth is what we all have in common.” Continue reading “dreaminsanity: Earth Day, Humanism, and Environmentalism”

Stitch your clouds across

Writing when Life Gets in the Way
Real-life responsibilities hit me all at once in the last week and have really interfered with my writing. Now, I’m not going to lie, before the events of the past week, I was mostly getting in my own way of finishing the first draft of “Jaed and Aston”. But it feels different when external obligations are pulling you away from something you otherwise should be doing. Continue reading “Writing when Life Gets in the Way”
Haiku Sunday – Afternoon

Golden light dapples

1,766 Miles in a Moving Truck
Here is part 1 of our road trip to Denver. Part 2 incoming… sometime in the near future. I apologize for the recent radio silence, but I’m really trying to focus on finishing my novel. I’ll let you know how that’s going next week. Happy Friday!
Well, Jessie has moved to Denver, and I was fortunate enough to help her get there. If you don’t know what I’m talking about, read this.
We drove 1,766 miles over four days in a 12-foot moving truck filled with all of her crap. I use ‘crap’ in the nicest possible way, because Jessie talked the whole time about how she needs to downsize her life to a single car. We’ll see how that goes.
