(To “Looks Like Rain,” from The Dead’s 12/29/77 show at Winterland) On my desk rests a helicopter, broken in two places where my wife stepped on it yesterday afternoon. It rests, on its side, with one half of its landing gear nearby; next to the black piece of plastic is the wooden shank once holding…

I won’t spoil the fun for you….go to http://www.jkrowling.com, click on the eraser, and poke around to open the door (no more do not disturb sign!!!)…. It all starts with the door at the back of the mirror….. I cannot believe it!!!!

5:03 p.m. Wow. I haven’t done a 15/Five in a long time…I miss these short missives, but I’ve not written them simply b/c I haven’t been on the computer at these times on a routine basis…Perhaps I should change the name to 15 On the Hour… What’s new? ~~Started The Phoenix Society at school today.…

Michelle answered these questions a few days ago, and so I thought I’d give ’em a go as well. I need to warm up, anyway, for Carl’s G.I.F.T. Challenge! 1. Egg Nog or Hot Chocolate? Funny, but my default response was to answer in Latte mode (how sad is that?). So…I think I’ll modify my…

Greetings, all: Notice anything different? I’m testing out a few wintry themes…I think I like this one more than the retro snowflake theme I had up for about 24 hours or so… I’m really struggling with WordPress and Bluehost, though. I feel so limited as to what I can do. I want to put new…

Ugh. Ok. It was an experience. I’ll give it that much. But to sit in a room for 8 hours without a single jury pool being called for selection? A major disappointment today as there was complete inaction on behalf of the need for jurors for upcoming trials. Here’s to a better Friday, all!

4:15 a.m. Uploaded my still incomplete novel a few moments ago….Total word count submitted: 51,777. I’m feelin’ really good about this. Second year in a row I’ve written 50K in the month of November, although this work is still unfinished–unlike last year’s book, which I was able to type “The End” on 11/30 and feel…

In about three hours, I will be placing a call to our local Jury Duty Hotline, where I will learn my fate to see if my number–that’s number 625, to be precise–falls within the group of numbers selected for duty tomorrow morning. Mixed emotions on this one. The teacher in me doesn’t want to leave…

Good day, all: The four-day break was beyond wonderful with my family, and yesterday HG (my 10-yr-old daughter) and I dreaded the return to the grind. But we reminded each other that it’s all in the attitude in which we approach the Monday-morning return… I’ve always had a challenge in keeping a healthy balance between…

Those of us who are writing novels or blogging daily in the month of November are facing the home stretch; many of us are being asked many of the same questions, so I thought that I’d address some of them here… Q: Will you finish? A: Of course we will. It’s what we do, we…
