• The weekend

    The update on Guster goes like this. It looks like he’s had a rib broken before. He shies significantly from fast movements and feet. I frequently pet my dogs with my feet. I tried to do that with him and…

  • Dog rescue, the signing, and a request

    First, the signing was fun. Not a lot of traffic, but then again, there was a lot of stuff going on in town last night and I knew there would be some limitations. But books were sold, fun was had,…

  • Reading

    It occurred to me, in a rather belated way, that I am supposed to read tonight. So I thought, I should pick something out. I suck at this. I never know what to read. I have opted to simply read…

  • Wednesday

    Today we got a new washer. Our old one died and the repair costs were as much as a new one, so . . . It required a 2 hour drive to Bozeman (and 2 back). Costco had none. They…

  • A day in which I did not write

    I meant to write today. I did, really. But it turns out when all you do is write for a couple of weeks and before that write and do jobbery, life stuff piles up. So today I made with the…

  • Blood Winter is done

    Yes that is right. It is done. It’s got rough edges, especially since I wrote more than half of it in the less than the last two weeks. Yes, that’s right. This is not my normal process, but I had…

  • panic and flailing

    I back up my work. I put it in dropbox and put it on another machine and I have the time machine backups on two computers and I print out each chapter as it’s done. So this isn’t that kind…
