This cold is kicking my ass. I am not motivated today, and require encouragement. I need to get the 3 chapters I have written revised so they work with the new chapter today. I essentially know how to do it. I just am very damned flat and am having a hell of a time pulling my focus together in order *to* do it. It’d be good if I actually wrote another new chapter, but the critical bit is revising these three. So if anybody out there feels like being a…
go me!
I have a fair bit of a headache, a sore throat, a large pot of pea soup and a new chapter. Well.

Of course, I think I took a 90 minute nap around this time yesterday, too,…
fresh outta give a shit

I met my cousin Maggie at the swimming pool! I hadn’t seen Maggie in four years (which her mother apparently gave her a hard time about, and she was like, “Every time I come into Anchorage I go out to the Valley to see YOU!”), but fortunately she still looked just like…
not dead
Not dead. In the depths of revisions and more revisions. Pretty much not planning on resurfacing until they’re done. Writing is hard. I’m going swimming.
