Not a bad writing day at some 1500 words, though I could’ve done more. Still, heck fire, that puts me at about 3% of the novel done! Only another 389 pages to go! By January 31st! o.o Pleasant news in my email box: “Blending”, the short story I wrote for Ekaterina Sedia‘s werewolf anthology, RUNNING WITH THE PACK, has been accepted for the anthology. That’s out next May. I actually got out of the house and went for a walk this afternoon. Because I’ve done so very little exercise for…
tired of being tired
Subject line sort of says it all. I know that exercise has the effect of making me less tired, but I keep feeling too tired to exercise. This was probably compounded by 2.5 weeks of vacation, during which we got none of the usual daily walks that we’re accustomed to in, what with using a car all the time.

up too early.
I woke up at 4:30 this morning, which isn’t in and of itself unusual. My complete inability to go back to sleep was, though, so after an hour of lying there wide awake I just got up. Consequently, before 8am I’ve edited a short story and reduced my inbox from over 1350 messages down to 16, partially based on the decision that any email over a year old could be summarily deleted because I was obviously never going to answer it. An hour and a half ago I thought, “Hey,…
