How is it Friday already? The week was crazy busy,
To be as relaxed as this dude
Furry Friday: Chillin’ and Relaxin’

Work Wednesday: TJ Speaks
Continuing the discussion on the rewrites for Full Sail and what is working and what is most definitely not.
By the time I was editing chapters twelve and thirteen, I knew I had to stop and regroup. The entire feel of the book was off. And most importantly, I had lost TJ’s voice around chapter five.
TJ’s voice is complex and filled with self-deprecation, humor, self-doubt and defiance. Sharp edges and deep emotions. And somehow, I had flattened out all her fun curves.
The only way I knew to find her again was to go back to the beginning. And the beginning was Run Aground. I queued up the audiobook and began to rediscover my muse.
When I can manage to write again, I think she is back strong, in all her depth and complexity. I suspect, as I return to the process, she’ll bring me comfort as we complete our journey together.
Tuesday Tunes: Beautiful Things
Just one of those songs that stays with you….
Monday Menu: Fresh or Frozen Produce?
Going to try to get back to some regular writing here. Still not feeling it, but I’m going to jump in.
It may seem counterintuitive, during peak harvest season, to write about frozen fruits and vegetables, but when talking about making quick meals, it’s always a good time.
Furry Friday: All You Need Is Love
All you need is love and a troupe of Great Danes
Still not feeling much like writing….
