Tiff hasn’t gone back for chemo, and I’m not sure what that means. She was so ill during her last hospitalization I think it scared her off the chemo. One of the doctors she saw during the stay ordered a scan that is supposed to show any cancer…anywhere in her body. Her doctor is hesitating and so right now nothing is happening, except she’s feeling better than she’s felt in a long time.
I called for an estimate for siding on the Victorian in Ohio a month ago and still haven’t heard anything. It would be nice to go back in the spring and start working on it, but we don’t know what to do about Payton’s school. As Paige gets older it’s becoming more obvious his mental age is lower than we’d hoped. More than likely we’ll have to wait for summer.
Parker’s crib is in my bedroom and even at almost a year, he’s not sleeping through the night. I’m constantly sleep deprived. I guess it’s payback from all those years I went to sleep when my head hit the pillow and didn’t remember anything until I bolted wide awake in the morning.
I started a new story a couple of days ago, and I’m writing this post to avoid my computer.

There are rare moments when I’ve finished an assignment or shifted my focus when I don’t have a WIP (work in progress) and it’s a strange sensation. Sometimes it lasts for a long time, weeks even. I finished the Millicent galleys, am waiting on the contract for Wild Cowboy, am waiting on edits for The Bone Conjurer from the rest of my critique group, and Stardust is hovering at 50,000 words and on hold. I have a story obligation for AQ I’d hoped to get to them by the end of December, but that ended up being The Bone Conjurer and too big for a short. I did come up with a brief sketch of an idea on Sunday on the way to buy a TV for our bedroom. I’ve been obsessed with getting a flat screen and now that I have it…I love it.
I mapped my idea out on the Alphasmart. If you’re a writer and have never used one, it’s a trip. The process of uploading it onto your computer is exciting. I often find I’ve written way more than I expected. Bev borrowed it the other day and wrote 539 words in about an hour while contending with the chatting of six butterscotch martini girls at the same time. In case you’re reading this and scoffing, you’ve never used my Alphie. Ever since I spilled beer on it, it’s extremely hard to depress the keys! I hear of writers who make their word count in a couple of hours. I type waaaay to slow for that. I have a mental goal of 2,500 words a day, but rarely make it anymore. However, with my back to wall, I have done about 45,000 in two weeks…the birth of Millicent.
Now what was the point of all of this? I remember, I’m in a state of static…now back to work!
