Exercising Should be Fun

Jan9

Don’t you agree?

I felt so bad yesterday–I think from the RSV shot, I didn’t get any writing or anything else done. I feel better today and got some groceries. Plus, I’ve already written 2,000 words on The Chosen Fae. Next, I need to work on Bear in Pursuit.

Hope your day is going fine.

Pretty Bird

Jan8

I took the photo of the bird in San Diego. Not sure what kind it is. But it’s pretty.

My blood counts looked good despite being on chemo for 9 days. I took the RSV shot because of my low immune system. I’ve been feeling nauseous, but not sure if it’s from the chemo or the shot. They took me off a couple of pills, yay! And reduced the amount I have on another. That’s 17 fewer pills a week. Woohoo!

I’m still taking a lot, but I’m glad I’m not having to take as many. If I get sick again, I’ll have to take them again.

Hope your day is pill-less!

Have You Ever Seen a Green Rose?

Jan7

The green rose was on a white miniature rosebush. Imagine my surprise!

All the roses are blooming with our warm weather, so I went out to take a photo, and voila! A green rose. Sometimes, on white crepe myrtles, a pink flower will emerge, but I’ve never seen that happen on a rosebush.

I didn’t get as much done on Bear in Pursuit yesterday. Only 500 words. But I managed 3500 on The Chosen Fae, so still 4,000 words total for the day.

Today is a doctor’s day. *sigh* I’ve been on chemo for 9 days, so we’ll see how the bloodwork goes. I was feeling really nauseated last night, but so far not so bad for the rest of the week. But if my blood counts drop too much, that’s the problem.

Okay, I’m off to get a little work done before I have to leave.

Hope you find a miracle in a garden too!

Do You Own an Iron?

Jan6

Do you use it, if you do? I remember the days when I had to iron my uniforms for work. Now, everything is just about wrinkle free, yay! But I do have an iron and a small ironing board, just in case I need it.

Well, yesterday I was so inspired on writing on The Chosen Fae. I ended up with 4,000 words, now at 13K, and 2,000 words on Bear in Pursuit, making it 9K. Woohoo!!

I’m off to write. I doubt I’ll write that much today, but while I’m waiting for my 2nd drs appt tomorrow, I’m sure I’ll get some writing done also.

It’s really warm again. I’ll enjoy it for the next few days and then this weekend, I think the temperatures are dropping.

So, do you still iron? Or do you have a wrinkle-free life? Or alternately, do you not worry about the wrinkles?

On Cold Winter Days…

Jan5

Being a penguin is the way to go!

I’m on my 8th day of chemo. So far, I feel alright, but need my blood counts to know for sure.

I managed 2,000 words for Bear in Pursuit and 2,000 words on The Chosen Fae yesterday, and am nearly at 2,000 words on The Chosen Fae today. Then I’ll switch over to Bear in Pursuit. I like working on a couple of stories at a time while I’m coming up with scenes. But once I really get into one book, I’ll write it through to the end and then switch over to the other. I have 7,000 words on Bear in Pursuit and 11,000 on The Chose Fae.

Okay, I need to get back to work. Hope you are staying warm today!

Grandma Fae Napping

Jan3

If Little Bear wants a hug, it’s okay to wake Grandma Fae, isn’t it?

So I have been working on Bear in Pursuit, and I’ve also been looking at other books I’ve started — some YA —and I love all of them! I also found the wolf short story. I’m thinking that while I’m working on Bear, if I get stuck, I can slip over to one of the other stories and work on them for a while. In fact, I did that yesterday when a thought came to mind about one of the elf stories.

I had started the Blue Elf story, but came across another fantasy–this one called the Elf Lord. I might combine them. Or not. I have a cover for the Blue Elf in any event. Somewhere, I also have the Chosen Fae started and the cover, and I was working on it in the hospital. Not sure how far along it is. I need to find it and reread it. So many books, so much fun.

Well, I had 3,000 words on Bear in Pursuit, maybe 4,000 by the time I type up my handwritten notes.

Hope you’re meeting your goals today.

Happy New Year!

Jan1

How many will forget to write 2026 instead of 2025 in the new year?

I started writing Bear in Pursuit, redid a cover for The Dark Fae, worked on the cover for Bear in Pursuit, made a new FB header for Cougar Christmas Catastrophe, and finished a video trailer for it also. I’m working on a new cover for Vexing the Highlander too.

Somewhere, I started a short story for a Halloween blog that I want to find. Readers have asked me to write the story, so I will. I just need to find it. lol I might drag out another manuscript that I’ve been revising for over a decade and see if I can make any headway on it! I have a couple that are Highland medieval romances, and I started a fae story in the hospital too.

Hope your New Year’s Day is restful and fun!

Winter Here Today

Dec30

It was 36 when I got up this morning. It’s very cold out in the shade and with the wind blowing so hard. It’s supposed to warm up to 55.

Got my blood work done. It looked good, but I just started chemo again yesterday, so next week when I do my blood work, it will tell more of the tale. It makes my counts all drop.

I’m nearly done with proofing Cougar Christmas Catastrophe!

Have an exciting day!!!

Follow the Leader

Dec29

Female jaguar following the male. I wasn’t sure if he was checking to see if she was still with him, or annoyed that she was following him. lol I took the photo of them at the Waco zoo. I love it because they often are just lying around and not very active.

I’m off to proof more of Cougar Christmas Catastrophe. I’m on chapter 5. Hope to get more of it done today. Yesterday I had my grandson here, so I really didn’t get started on it until later. I was also coming up with grizzly bear titles for the new book and story ideas.

Hope you are having a great day. It’s cold out this morning. It’s 36. I thought it was going to wait until tomorrow to get cold!! I need to dress warmer!
