I’ve always been a little jealous of Kate when she spoke of the glorious times she had at Atlanta’s Dragon*Con. Back when the big show there was the Atlanta Fantasy Fair, I went on DC’s behalf numerous times and had a great experience. But Dragon*Con was something else entirely, a cross between Comic-Con International and […]
Withy Deb going to Tangelwood with Lisa and Heather, I get to stay home and do catchup writing. Is it really Saturday? # Powered by Twitter Tools
Back in February, I dropped the few things I had on my desk and gratefully accepted the assignment to complete The Essential Superman Encyclopedia. That seemed to change numerous work habits and I spent the next four-five months totally committed to the desk.Right around the time the book was done and delivered, and I allowed […]
Another 60 pages of the encyclopedia down, another draft done for DC so it must be lunch time. # Powered by Twitter Tools
Another 60 pages of the encyclopedia down, another draft done for DC so it must be lunch time.
Add 3000 words to the Chaykin manuscript, modified 56 pages of the Superman Encyclopedia and took another stab at the DCU project. Done.
Back to work on the research project and hopefully more actual writing for a change.
We now have a 99% complete Howard Chaykin checklist! TIme to get back to the manuscript.
Longer walk than usual to kick off the day but lack of sleep is starting to take its toll so we’ll see what sort of day today will be.
Inglorious Basterds was a sheer delight. Can’t recall laughing out loud this often at a film. Highly recommended.
For variety, I have walked and worked and will skip out for a movie this afternoon, then home for more work.
Overall, not a great day but not a terrible one either. Tuesday should be better…I hope.
Late start to the work day but much accomplished already: walk, papers, laundry.
Weekend wind-up: furniture bought, food stocked, stuff written, took nice long walks, exercised my back. All in all, not a bad two days.
The work front has been a little quiet with bits of turbulence here and there.I’ve been working steadily all this past week on the Howard Chaykin project and reached a point where I am just about done with a first draft but also recognize I have to go back and re-grill Howard on many things […]
More walking, a lunch date, back to Milford to buy furniture and of course, more writing.
A walk, some work and now to the great city of Milford for shopping and a movie. Must be Saturday.
Somehow I’m into overtime and didn’t finish assembling the Chaykin checklist but did have good biz calls and another good PT session.
Long walk to start the morning, freshly showered and still dripping in sweat. This is going to be a long day.
Sailed passed the 2/3 mark on the Chaykin project with more to go. Slow day’s work, lots of distractions, but not bad.
I don’t often review comic books here. But, after reading the much heralded Archie #600, I wanted to give it a look.When word first leaked that Archie Andrews was getting married to Veronica Lodge, my first thought was that the normally conservative company was going to do a cautionary tale about pre-marital sex. Yep, I […]
Our weekend was a very full one, taking full advantage of having Kate home.Friday was a quiet day. Deb and I avoided our computers for the most part and kept one another company. We found ways to stay occupied although we were both handling the somber day pretty well. Kate arrived in the mid-afternoon and […]
Robbie left us a year ago tonight and it’s been a year full of memories and memorials and grief.Looking back, the time between receiving word the leukemia recurred and his death was incredibly fast. A dizzying downward spiral marked by the lung surgery but an increasing number of complications. Deb and I look back over […]
I have to give credit to ABC for giving its small number of fans a chance to see the final episodes of Eli Stone, Pushing Daisies and Dirty, Sexy, Money. Since they were already produced, “burning them off” as it’s called, certainly allowed them to earn some revenue against expenses.Fortunately, in all three cases the […]
Now that everything is filed with the Town Clerk, I just want to go on the record and state that I am running for a third term as a member of the Representative Town Meeting.When I first began serving, finishing out someone’s term in the spring and fall of 2005, I wasn’t entirely certain what […]
Much to my surprise, I managed to whip through the first draft of a project far faster than I expected. I revised the sample chapter on Tuesday, got an enthusiastic thumbs up from my editor and went right to work.Now to be fair, the project is a mere 8000 words long and when I finished […]
What a week this has been. Adjusting back to East Coast time wasn’t too bad, but things were disjointed so the work got done in fits and starts.Tuesday, I managed a full day at the desk and made some serious headway on the latest project and should actually have something done and ready to present […]
