Today was a scorcher. I did an early run, while it was only 83°F (28.3C). Now it is 87° with not a breath of wind. It could still go up before the day is over. Yesterday’s run was at about the same temperature, but there was a little cloud cover. Today, I thought I was… Read More scorched
Today, I did remember my dreams, and I’m up writing first thing. There may have been more before it, but I remember going to some kind of reunion, probably High School. I kept looking at people, thinking, “That’s so-and-so”, but nobody seemed to recognize me or seemed to want to talk to me. After a… Read More Messagesquisse
Today was the third day in a row that I had a significant dream, and promptly forgot it. For some of these, I need to write them down immediately. Others, I can remember all day, even weeks, or years. Sometimes, I’ll remember them after a couple of months (but not right away). Yes, that is… Read More Melting
I awoke early this morning after a significant dream. I can blog this, I said to myself. It’s a good one. Then, I looked at my email. A friend from the UK had sent me a message that needed a reply. I got up, wrote the reply, and now the dream is gone. I can’t… Read More No Way Back
The last two nights, I have had pretty extensive dreams. Yesterday’s was something about a string quintet. Throughout the dream, it was referred to as a string quartet, but it had five lines of music. The cello was on top. It was a very high part, but I can’t remember what clef it was in,… Read More Floating, Light full of Heaviness, Forgetting
TRIGGER ALERT: Discussion of suicide One year ago today, we were worried. Our relatives had stopped answering phone calls and texts, missing their daily check-ins since the 10th. On the afternoon of the 14th, we received a call from their stepmother, saying that they hadn’t answered an urgent call about their father, who had fallen… Read More The Beginning of the End
I’ve posted the first chapter of Out of the Frying Pan on TCoA. This novel has longer chapters than some of my stories, although they shorten after the first few. I’ve reread what I have, and despite a few continuity problems that I’ll have to sort out, it works. Part I: Lena is complete, and… Read More The Deed Begun
I’ve pretty much decided that I’m going to tackle Out of the Frying Pan next, and am rereading it before I start. It currently stands at about 35,000 words. There is a Lena section, as well as an Erewin section. It don’t know if the Lena section is finished, but there is still a ways… Read More Into the Fire
I’ve mentioned that my dreams are repetitious. Back when I was in my teens and twenties, I started having a recurring repetitious dream, and a photo I found on Pexels has brought it all back, not the dream itself, but memories of the dream. As I’ve stated many times, the dreams transform themselves as they… Read More Show
No, that wasn’t one of my typographical faux pas. I’ve spent the last half hour trying to find that word. I’m back at home now, and it is supposed to be raining, according to this morning’s forecast. It’s not. It’s just incredibly humid, and I just went for my walk, or at least half of… Read More Nekdify
