I actually think the puppy is doing a remarkable job restraining his excitement and yearning. Considering he’s a puppy :o)

Today’s Beacon of Hope and Rightness: Our First Lady
This is political and election-related, so I debated whether I was breaking my “Safe Zone” promise by posting it here. It’s a speech First Lady Michelle Obama gave yesterday in Manchester, New Hampshire, so of course it refers to that horrible man. But: it also brings rightness back; it’s uplifting and hopeful; it made me… Read more »
Today’s Election-Free Zone: Earthset and Earthrise
From October 2007 to June 2009, a Japanese spacecraft called Kaguya orbited the moon. Kaguya had cameras, and the cameras recorded, among other things, views of the Earth rising and setting over the moon. Here’s Earth setting over (or under?) the south pole of the moon! (BTW, if you get my posts as emails and… Read more »

In particular, I’ve been going through a period of grievously fractured focus with my writing, and have been wanting to blog something about… Read more »

(There’s also a scattering of a half-dozen books that I read at the pace of a snail across years, but I’m not counting those here – I’m talking about books I’m actively… Read more »
Writing Moments
Revising, as I’ve mentioned, is really intense right now, so I’m making sure I take breaks whenever I need them. Today at midday, I decided I needed a walk to clear my head. However, it’s 41°F (5°C) outside today, a heat wave the likes of which I’ve apparently forgotten how to cope with; I put… Read more »

Current Work Breakdown, for Them That’s Interested
As I’ve mentioned recently, I’m revising a manuscript. Here’s a breakdown of what this revision tends to look like on a daily basis: For one hour or so, I reread and ponder the responses of my early readers and my own notes (as I blogged about recently). For maybe two or three hours, I look… Read more »
