Another sunset
There is a banner at the top up there. It's too Holly's new six month course in writing, and everyone who writes should check it out. She does an extraordinary job of helping other writers. The class will only be open to registration for one week, so don't waste time!
Yes, this is very early on September 1. I'm trying to get the journal done early rather than the last thing since I'm usually so tired that I can't think of anything to say.
Not that I have much to say this time, either, but still... it's better to do this in the morning.
I hope to start this month off write with a good amount of writing today. I need to get to that next. It was supposed to be the first thing I was going to do, but I needed to get the stuff up for Holly's Class and that got me sidetracked a bit. I will be jumping into the story very soon now, though. I am at a very exciting part of the story (It's a shorter Devlin story -- I have a couple of those to go along with the eight novels), and I'm having a lot of fun with it.
Yes, time to get to writing!
After I post a couple more links!

Settling in for winter?
I have another story finished! Yay!
It was hard work today, trying to get and a few other things done. And now I just want to go get some sleep! Which is good. I am so happy to have gotten so much done today, too. I actually, for the first time in quite a while, marked more off my list than I added to it. I'm sure it's just because I haven't thought very hard about it, though.
Another good reason to go to bed!
Tomorrow I'm going to go to work on the rewrite of Touched by the Wild. I need to do some more art work for that one, too. I think I'm going to do more of a line drawing style for it, with just a little wash of color here and there. I have a couple ideas for it. I think it will be fun to do.
But now... sleep before I think of more stuff to get done!

Playing with Graphics Again
I got a bit of work done today, despite having a miserable headache. I think it is the weather change. It's actually cold enough tonight that the guys are starting to snuggle -- with me and with each other.
I just want to go crawl into bed and sleep.
I am working on the rewrite to Touched by the Wild that I started a while back. I like this story. I want to get it right one of these times!
All in all, going all right. Russ might be home a week from Friday. I'm looking forward to it!

Yeah?
I had one of those days where little things kept going wrong... but I won out over all of them. I have the newsletter posted. I have updated other things. I got writing done. I even had an idea for something... I'm going to talk to Holly about it later. I need to work out a few more details before I pitch the idea to her.
I'm going nuts on other things, though. I've had a miserable cold and headache for days now. If I can get it to clear up, I'm going to be a much happier person. Lately, I've felt as though there has just been too much work and not enough free time to think about anything else.
Then I have to ask myself what else is there? At least I stay busy!

Zaphod, of course
I am trying to convince Zaphod that he doesn't have to stretch out on the desk right in front of me while I'm trying to work, especially because he's too big for it, and he hits the keyboard every time he moves -- or he has his paws on my hands while I'm trying to write. Either way, it just doesn't work all that well.
Now he's nestled in behind me on the chair.... and Pip is on top of the stack of books.
There are days when things just don't work quite the way you hope.
I'm tired tonight. I got quite a bit of work done, though, so that's good. Now I'm off to bed and some rest. And then back to work tomorrow.
