Well, since I’m using this theme and a quick search of “Big Red Pen” didn’t turn up anything obvious, I decided to rename the blog. Not like it’s previous names have been anything spectacular. Instead it all looks intentional now, as if I had style and cleverness.
Ha ha. We all know that’s [...]

Sweet Sunshine
Alright, the Monday List:
Taxes – DONE – In good ink and everything. I technically have three things to add, namely Todd’s income, but it doesn’t affect the calculations.
Dog Walking – DONE – This has been all but daily for a week now (Sunday I didn’t go) and each walk has been more than the [...]

My Impossible, Hopeful To Do List::
What’s the saying? “Reach for the moon. Even if you don’t make, you’ll land among the stars.”

It read like a stream-of-conscious glut onto the page, that the author [...]

Today’s Work
Well, my 250 work minimum free-writing exercise turned into a 934 word … thing. The prompt was to write about bathrooms that you know. I don’t usually follow the exercises exactly – I will always take the kernel of the idea and then write a scene of something – whatever floats up first. Often I write for about two pages [...]

Starting Slow
I’ve got to get back into gear, so I am not going to start out promising myself to do the impossible.
So, today’s timid To-Do:
1. Freewriting – 250 words or more.
2. One critiquie on Forward Motion’s Roving Crits board.
3. Work on the short story “By My Decree”.
I have to walk the dog first, though. She’s being [...]
