March 2021 Bullet Journal Additions

I’m going to let you look, but I warn you… my bullet journal is ugly. The theme is somewhere between prison chic and ink splotch. If you are looking for pictures of the sun setting over mountains, this is the wrong place. I’m having trouble figuring out exactly where the five things idea came from.

Writing in a Winter Hammock

23FebruaryKarenwritingweather, winter, winter hammocking

So, a while back, I bought my mother a camping hammock as a gift. The hope was that I’d be able to talk her into a night or two in the great outdoors, if she wasn’t going to have to lie on the ground to sleep. It didn’t take–she hated it–and as a result, I

Cleaning Out The Desk

This weekend, I did a nice long inventory of all the work I have in progress, going back to about 2019. It’s a good chunk. It’s also a very fragmented chunk. I have horrific write-to-type ratios (which we all knew) and even worse write to revise ratios. What I didn’t know is just how much

In their defense, it has been a long year, but you might want to bring some hot dogs and marrow bones to distract them.

Where I am, Today

5FebruaryKaren1 Commentwriting

I got a little time in the hammock this week. Not… uhm… summertime fun, exactly. But not the deadly cold of winter, either. I curled up in a zero degree sleeping bag, and let the wind rock me while I read a book. If you hold very, very still, and plan ahead, you can be

Unexpected milestones. Gotta love ’em. You’re doing something you’ve never done, before, and suddenly, you realize… Hey, that was new. The moment your blog readers start talking to each other in the comments. The moment someone contacts you to ask if they can use one of your stories or posts or photos… The moment you

So, here are a few things that are happening right now. The BIG news is that as a response to the pandemic, Holly’s Writing Classes has discounted everything for the first time, ever, ever, ever. And by EVER, I mean that I’ve been on the site for ten or twelve years, and I have NEVER

Focusing in on the Now

I don’t know what I want. I mean, the big things… they’re still fine. More or less. The long term things. The five-year plan is still there. It’s the short-term things that are getting to me, right now. What do I want tonight? Or next weekend? I’m not worried about the large P Plans, it’s

Dehydrator Despair

13JanuaryKaren2 Commentsfooddehydrator

It’s nine months (more or less) into a global pandemic, and I finally bought the food dehydrator of my dreams. Six trays, and expandable to twelve. It’s a pretty basic model. Temperature control, but no timer. With a little forethought, I really could shop for a month or two at a time. Well, I had
