I only got 1,000 words written on Wolfish, but I had great medical news.
For the first time in over two years, my white blood cell count is normal! Platelets are normal! And Neutrophils are normal.
Red blood cells are slower to recover so they’re still low and can cause fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath. Which I have. It makes me feel better knowing what the problem is that I feel these things when walking. Also hemoglobin is low. It will take time for the red blood cells to build back up.
Oh, and the bone marrow biopsy came back normal! So no new cancer cells! Still waiting on the DNA results.
We’re off to a CT scan this morning to see how my lungs are after having pneumonia and other doctor appointments.
Took the photo of the cardinal in Brenham, Texas. He caught a glimpse of my camera lens peeking out of the blind.
I have little one here so we’re doing kid exercises, tried Bluey and that was too boring for him, so we have a monster one we’re doing, lol and then I’ll work with him on some preschool pages. I managed to make word count on Highland Wolf, woohoo, so next I’ll be proofing it.
Hope your day is super fine.

She looks so soft and cuddly. I took the photo of her in Brenham, Texas.
I brainstormed with a friend last night to come up with what I needed to finish Highland Wolf. It’s finished, but I just felt I was missing something. So off I go to write!
Have a wonderfully creative day!

The cabins had a birders’ blind and I had never seen one of those before. The vegetation was really tangled so it was hard to capture some of the birds, but when they came down to drink on the water features, voila! A great shot.
Well, I’m sick again. My grandson has a cold, probably from daycare, and now I have it. Ugh!!! I just got over all that other stuff.
I’m off to work on Highland Wolf. I need 7,000 more words. I’m wrapping it up. I thought of another teaser to add also, though. I might. Or maybe not. With a congested head, I might have thought it was a great idea and if I write it down, it might not have been. Ha-ha!
Hope your day is mighty fine!

We had 2.5 inches of rain the day before yesterday and this little female was so wet.
Well, little one is coming this morning and we’re going on all kinds of adventures–the grocery store (he loves it!), the post office, I have him carry in a package and he loves being Grandmother’s little helper, Walmart (we rarely go so he thinks it’s the greatest)–and then home again and time for lunch, and his nap. And then it’s time to get big sister from school on our daily walk.
I managed to get to 14,000 words yesterday on Huntress Unleashed, so I’m about 4,000 words ahead of schedule. Yay!
It helps when life gets in the way or I get stuck on the story and begin to fall behind on daily word count goals. Two days a week–when I have little one, I have no word count goals–just in case I can’t make it. We stay busy. But I try to get in a 1,000 during the day while he’s napping and after he goes home at night. That gives me a little bit of a cushion for my weekly word count goal of 10K if for whatever reason, I fall behind.
Okay, I’m off to finish packing books up for shipment and feed the dogs, etc, etc, etc.
Have a wonderfully adventurous day!

The birdseed tray is pretty old, so I used the mixer paint tool brush in Photoshop to smooth it out a bit. Jai, who created the background texture, said she paints her platform feeders in bright colors. Now what a novel idea! So my granddaughter is staying overnight and then all day Friday and overnight again and we’re going to sell GS cookies. But we’re also going to pick up some bright paint hopefully, and paint the bird feeder tray.
I have a busy day ahead of me before I pick her up from school, so I’m off to try and get some more words written on Bite of the Vampire.
I was trying to get the dogs to all sit together for a photo. Here are my attempts, lol.
Okay, so my dogs will sit still on their cot since I used it for training since they were puppies and I finally resorted to that but I couldn’t get the corgis to sit on either side of them for anything. I had the treats and the corgis wanted to get closer to me. My dogs knew to sit on the cot until I released them.
At least I got them all to look at me, though Luna’s ear is in front of Max’s face. *sigh*. I will try again later!
I’m having Dog Days of Christmas and having a blast. Finished While the Wolf’s Away proofing, turned it in and I’m working on The Emerald Isle of Mist next!
I took this picture in a bird blind at the writer’s retreat I went to a few years back.
I’m off to get my day started. I ended up writing lots yesterday and turned in my edited Jingle Bell Wolf. I wrote 8848 words yesterday.
I had to fight a witch on the main quest and that meant writing 4,000 words. I thought I would really be somewhere on the game story, but then I had to fight another critter for 1200 words. I was getting really tired of writing by then. But then it opened up another area, and I wrote another 2,000 words to get into another area. You get maps and it opens up new quests and battles. So yay! By the time I was done with writing and began working on editing, I had written 8848 words. So I’m up to 67K on White Wolf, and 27K on Saving the White Cougar.
Have to shop for setting up little one’s birthday party–family only, and drive-thru baby shower with my daughter, so trying to get a little writing in before we go. And then afterwards, really getting into the writing again. I have to do 2400 words to get into another map area, so shooting for that–or at least part of it before we take off.
So I was working on this yesterday in between writing, and taking care of my granddaughter. I had to take a different cardinal photo I had captured of a male cardinal and add the tail to this one since some of it was hidden by the shepherd’s pole. He has a seed in his mouth, if you wonder what that is.
Okay, so I couldn’t get myself up this morning, but had to. Usually I’m up by 5 am, so a super slow start to my day and it means blogging late, and getting a start on my writing late. Dogs and little one are fed, and it’s time to get something else done. I did embroider the Armstrong bear last night, need to make its sash and bonnet next.
