Bashing On

The scene-bashing goes on. I realized yet again that I was going about it the wrong way. Had a deja vu moment when I wondered if I hadn’t had that exact revelation once already, and realized that yes, I had. Anyway. Something is wrong with my brain. That or it’s just missing. Damned lucky it’s

I Write at Night

It’s really not helpful. I have to be at work at 0800 Monday through Friday. But my writing mind really doesn’t want to get moving before, say, 2100. I can try all day (believe me, I did) to get somewhere, but the good stuff doesn’t want to come till at least sunset. Meh. 425 words

One Cloud is Lonely

That’s one way to say it.  There’s also, ‘when it rains, it pours.” My personal fave, I think though, is a simple “WTF???! Today was insane.  I-N-S-A-N-E.  Lost children, obnoxious parents, (yes, of course your kid didn’t ditch five days.  Every one of his SEVEN TEACHERS just missed him sitting in class…), class counts and
