I just got about 1,600 words written on the bus ride back to D.C. I wrote section 9 of “The Graveyard Shift”, which is the beginning of Part III of the story. This part of the story begins to tie the various characters together as the mystery deepens. I was surprised I was able to…
Today was an event-filled day in The Big Apple. It started out with breakfast at Lite-Bites, where I demonstrated to Jen and Jason that I am, in fact, eating more than I used to by cleaning my plate of omelettes, potatoes, toast and fruit. Afterward, we headed into the city to visit the Museum of…
It was cold today. Just getting home from all kinds of activities today, the temperature outside (just before 10 PM) was 0 degrees (a little warmer if you don’t count the wind chill). But we braved the weather anyway in order to have a fun day. First was brunch at Petite Abeille, a tiny place…
All is well.
There may be rumors floating around that I passed out on the couch earlier this evening, after having consumed two rather strong Margaritas, but I assure you that these rumors have been greatly exaggerated by someone who drank even more than I did. In fact, after the initial spread of those allegations, Jason and I…
I’ve arrived in NYC and am sitting comfortably on the couch in Astoria, waiting for Jason to finish preparing the Maragaritas. The Acela left on time and got into New York on time. I sat in the quiet car and read for a little while, slept for a little while, and then wrote section 8…
I was up a little earlier than usual this morning because I had to take a taxi to the metro station. You’re not supposed to park there overnight. I called for a taxi at 5:55 AM and was told the taxi would be there in 20 minutes. At 6:30 AM, the taxi finally showed up.…
I’m all packed and ready for the trip to NYC tomorrow. I’m getting up 15 minutes earlier than usual so that I can make sure that everything around the house is set. Also I have to take a taxi to the metro station tomorrow and I need to leave time for that. I’m well over…
I really don’t know what’s wrong with me. I was asked by two people today if I’ve started looking for a house yet. I haven’t. I wasn’t planning to start the search until around my birthday. The thing is (and there has got to be something wrong with me), the closer I get to the…
I wrote part 8 of “The Graveyard Shift” tonight, about 1,100 words in 50 minutes or so. This was good because part 7 is about the halfway point of the story and I was not sure going into that section exactly what was going to happen. (I always know how the story is going to…
