BEWILDERED

I continue to be amazed by the fact that so much time passes between postings. I've thought of Blogit every so often over the past month, but couldn't find time to post because I had a paid project to complete. Now, I realize that more than a month has gone by. I won't ask where the time goes, but... Sign in to see full entry.

WAITING TO BE HIT...

I had it in mind to do some editing this weekend, as well as some additions to my web site, however, those plans are going to be put on hold - at least as it pertains to computer use - for we have a hurricane looming on the horizon. We got up early today and thought we'd go to the supermarket. When... Sign in to see full entry.

HATING 'DO OVERS'

One of the things I hate most is having to do tasks over. In between all my other writing chores, I must write a Synopsis for Hardware. It’s the longest and best manuscript I’ve written to date, but I wasn’t looking forward to writing the sharp synopsis that I know it deserves. Still, I started... Sign in to see full entry.

THE MIA POPPING IN AGAIN

I've been wanting to drop in for at least the past two weeks, but somehow, it never happened. Last week though, I took a tiny walk around the neighbourhood and as always, there are new neighbours. I've been a lot busier than I like. Been writing a lot and that's good. Completed another novel between... Sign in to see full entry.

BACK HOME AGAIN...

Hey there, As always, it's good to be back here. I've been quietly nosing around this afternoon, getting my feet wet again. I'll be checking in with all of you sometime in the next few days. Have a good weekend! Sign in to see full entry.

IN CASE YOU'RE WONDERING WHERE I AM...

I finally got around to sending off another query for my book early in 2007. I was asked to submit the manuscript and the response was good. I now wait to hear whether the publisher thinks it's good enough to print. This has galvanised me into action. I predicted in my On Writing Blog that I'd be... Sign in to see full entry.

HAVE YOU EVER...

started to read a book and had a vague recollection that you've read it before, but wasn't quite sure. Well, I started reading Patricia Cornwell's Black Notice and had the feeling I'd read it before. I wasn't feeling that way when I started it a couple of days ago, but when the ME started collecting... Sign in to see full entry.

MY SON THINKS HE’S THE BOSS OF ME…

(whisper) And I suppose he’s right. He goes back to school tomorrow, but he’s had a whale of a time these last few days calling me at work every few hours. I gave him my old cell phone to prevent him calling me on my cell phone from the house phone. His call credit ran out after about the third call... Sign in to see full entry.

DRUNK & DISORDERLY

I ’m at a loss sometimes to understand human behaviour. On Sunday night, New Year’s Eve, I had to work a function. The later the hour, the worse the patrons behaved. It was an all-inclusive party and so some people drank themselves into a stupor. It was almost as though, they were determined to... Sign in to see full entry.

...BUT IT WAS FUN ROLLING THOSE BARRELS!

I t’s natural to harbour resentment when we are told that our performance is not up to snuff. This is particularly true when less than kind words are used to express displeasure. Today, I had to level with the maintenance staff on their performance. Unfortunately, there were not many positives I... Sign in to see full entry.
