So maybe I was busy. Or maybe I was writing. A lot. But here’s what I managed to get through this month. And I liked it very much, thank you. * OBSESSION by Traci Abramson. A shivery, shuddery stalker novel written by the coolest lady/former CIA ninja you’ll ever know. A little outside the box...

Monthly Archives: October 2011I’ve been subbing and finishing a book (written by Mr. Louis L’Amour, not by me) and helping a little with the high school play (Beauty and the Beast, and you so want to come see it) and doing house-ish stuff (the usual bread-y and clothing-ish and sweep-like stuff) and thinking about losing 15 pounds and... Okay, so I’ve done another pass on Fifth Gift. And it’s improving. I think. Another one down. Several more to go. (Remember that I have theories? There’s one that says it’s my job to get the manuscript as clean as I possibly can before I subject anyone else to it. And that’s where I am....  My Uncle R. sent me this photo.

I did many pages this morning, and plan to do some more after I take care of a couple...  When she was little, we curled her hair in those fat-pencil rollers almost every week. It prevented the brushing, which thing (the brushing, not the prevention) she really hated. And Daddy was convinced that she behaved better less hideously when she was curly. In any case, she has always had some pretty great hair. She... |
