“Back”
A short-lived return,
an episodic foray
into thoughts distant.

Friday Write-Day: Gearing Up to Slow Down
Man, my two-week stay-at-home-dad-cation cannot come fast enough.
Between work, the usual holiday stresses, and… mostly work, I’m really looking forward to just sitting at home with Nugget. Continue reading “Friday Write-Day: Gearing Up to Slow Down”
Haiku Sunday – Preparation
“Preparation”
Countless hours, days,
all for the ability
to declare: Ready.

Haiku… Tuesday? – Lazy
“Lazy”
Sometimes, being more
productive means doing the
bare minimum.
Friday Write-Day: What a Week
Apologies for the delayed posting. As I mentioned last week, I was out of town for a work conference for three days this week.
I had a great time and enjoyed meeting a lot of my colleagues, but it was a bit of a whirlwind week. Continue reading “Friday Write-Day: What a Week”
Friday Write-Day: The Joy of Writing
Sometimes, inspiration comes, not when you least expect, but in the manner you least expect.
Making Time to Write
I intended to have an album review prepared for today. Instead, I fell asleep on the couch in front of Monday Night Football.
This time, at least, I can blame it on my new job. I’m still getting used to the idea of not working a set shift, so I left the office pretty late on Monday. This new schedule where it’s totally up to me when I show up, when I eat lunch, and when I leave has thrown off my entire day-to-day schedule.
I’m trying to iron out the kinks. For instance, how do I maintain a regular gym schedule (we have a gym at the office) when I may have meetings at varying times between 10am and 2pm every day?
The short answer is, go when I have time. But this is harder than it sounds.
Anyway, I’m not here to gripe. This is just an adjustment period for me. I don’t think I’ll need to adjust my blogging schedule once settle in, but I’m keeping my options open.
I’m sending a new batch of chapters to my editor tonight. She will reach a critical turning point in my story, so I’m asking to meet up and discuss her overall thoughts in person.
Hopefully, we’ll also be able to wrap our heads around a timeline for her revisions to the rest of the book.

This post is not a post…
…but the anticipation of a post. The whisper of a post that may yet come to be.
Do forgive my convoluted tone. There is work to be done, and not a moment to waste!

Haiku Sunday – Forget
“Forget”
Life’s distractions make
wonderful excuses for
neglecting our work.
Yes, this haiku is literal. I neglected to schedule my Sunday haiku before leaving town for the weekend. But I’ll be damned if I miss my first Sunday post in almost two years while there’s still a shade of daylight 🙂

Haiku Sunday – Phone
“Phone”
A work phone blaring
right when I log in — this day
has not started well.
