March update: Seasonal Patterns is up to 234 pages. Less writing, more editing and a couple weeks off to visit family and work on a few other projects means I'm a little behind where I'd like to be, but so it goes.

Pictured: one of those aforementioned little projects.

She’s been hard at work keeping me company in the office this week, so I can’t begrudge sweet Miko a lazy Friday lying in a sunbeam.

I’ve recently discovered dictating notes into my phone is a great way to draft out storyline. I’ve also learned this falls apart when I’m doing cardio in the basement.

I don’t usually write on weekends, but a peaceful, snowy morning is just too inspiring not to tap out a few pages.

There's a scene in a classic Star Trek: TNG episode when stuff's about to go catastrophically sh*tways and an old admiral drolly notes 'the fight does not go well, Enterprise.'

Anyway, I bring this up because I may have muttered this to myself a few times while working on a chapter today.
