Left Behind: Doomed?

No, this isn’t about a particular belief of a particular group of Christians.  It’s about stories.  Stories that start with someone left behind–oversleeping and missing the boat, the train, the shopping trip, perhaps.   Shipwrecked on an island.   Falling  out of an airplane into a dense forest.   Or missed by the rescue vessel when others Read More…

Snippet at Paksworld Blog

Hit with a plot bomb this morning and there’s now something really new and raw on the http://www.paksworld.com/blog/?p=2932   …a longish snippet from “something” whose ultimate length, type and so on I know nothing about yet.   It’s farther in the future than Horngard I and probably the entire Horngard group.  So I thought I’d better stick Read More…

Thunder, Cold, Damp (was Hot, Dry, Windy)

At least, no tornado.  Yet.  Yesterday included one t-storm and two loud clunks of hail on the barn roof, while I was out there, with evidence of previous hail in the leaves and twigs on the ground…not a big hailstorm, but enough to make clear the frozen clods were up there.  Last night we had Read More…

Town Stuff

Success!

Webmistress found the right login.  Hurray! This is extremely short because I’m still in a whirlwind down here and haven’t a clue when I’ll have the main working area back in shape to work in.  I have to get the old system out, space around it cleared out so I can work there with this Read More…

Again, And Again, And Again

….creeps in this petty pace from day to day…(or something like that.)    No, Horngard I has not yet fledged completely and was handed back to the nest by the helpful Agent who pointed out that just flapping wings wasn’t flying, and the primaries were only half as long as they should be.   Metaphorically speaking. Horngard Read More…

Waiting: Not My Favorite Game

It’s been a difficult couple of weeks for several reasons, but especially because…I haven’t heard anything back from  Agent.  I’m working, of course: the wildlife management report (in the process of which I discovered that my old printer no longer prints text…just pictures.  And not very well…with thin orange striped across them.)   Then there’s the Read More…

On The Way

NewBook I is on the way again…I emailed it to my agent yesterday and he got it (confirmation email, yay!)  so there’s that.  I took the rest of the afternoon off for a walk outside and horse chores. Today I opened NewBook II’s file.  You may recall that it is/was a little over 20K word, Read More…
