Finished! (Almost)
I spent the weekend revising "Big Sky Country"--not a lot of changes, as I rewrite continually as I go along, but a word here, a phrase there, a story fact my editor and I had agreed to change--the usual. That brought me to this morning--and the last chapter,...
The Book Club and Other Things
A fine time was had by all at Shirley Allings' book club meeting last night. Few things are more fun than enjoying food (it was my free night) and congenial conversation about one of my favorite subjects: books! Thank you, Shirley and Matt and all the...
Writing
Today, writing is just about all I can think about. I am SO CLOSE to finishing this book. I will probably complete the draft tomorrow and spend the weekend doing the revisions and polish. Yesterday, they laid the new hardwood floor in the guest...

That Sound You Don’t Hear—(You Lucky Thing)
Is the thump of hammers and other tools as workmen replace the ugly carpet in the guest room with hardwood to match the rest of the house. Mary Ann and Jen have been busy removing wallpaper these past few days. Now that the new floor is going in, the cats...
Spaced Out the Blog
I was so busy writing on "Big Sky Country" yesterday that I didn't even remember the blog until I was too tired to write it. 🙂 Something was off with the number of pages I'd written, too, so I went back and sure enough, I'd skipped Chapter 14...

It’s All Good
I got Chapter 16 drafted yesterday, and today I plan to polish it and draft 17. Since there are 19 or 20 chapters in my books, I'm nearly finished! It doesn't seem possible, what with all that's been going on.Jen is under the weather this morning, so...
Tuesday
Have I ever mentioned that I love Tuesdays? Why? Because they are so deliciously ordinary, for one thing.And because new books and movies come out on Tuesdays, for another. Even as I write these words, I'm downloading new audiobooks to listen to on...
Monday Blog
Since I usually don't blog on Sundays, there was no entry yesterday. Still, September 11 is too important not to mention. Truly, none of us will ever forget that otherwise beautiful early-autumn morning, and we shouldn't. Many innocents and...
Greetings from a (slightly) skinnier woman!
10 pounds gone! Yeehaw! And I expect the pace to pick up a little when I get my Treadclimber--it's on the way.I was thinking you'd all be bored silly by my latest diet--it isn't as if we haven't been through this before, after all--but looking at the...
