Another Late Night Post
Two days in a row time got away from me… So not much to say tonight, other than I find it stunning that December is coming so quickly, the anthology workshop is already underway, and I am almost healed from the big fall. Not completely, but moving better every day. So coming up I will do some new year-end blogs about gearing up for writing and health as I also gear up for this third try at the big challenge and working on losing weight and getting in better shape. And I promise that as normal with me, I won’t pull any punches. (Grin) Stay tuned and have fun with…

Writing Challenge
My Personal Writing Challenge is Still Going On… Just not very well. The restart was the first of November and that so far hasn’t worked well for basically the same reasons it didn’t work back in September. When I do get it back up and running, I will do the second chapter of the book here, including all the problems and the answers, when I find them. And when that happens, the real challenge will start. So in the meantime, here are some reminders of a few things going on right now with workshops and such. Fun stuff. — Pop-Up #1 is now live and available. Basically a talk about…

Finally Done With A Warm-Up Book
Yup, Finished the Short Novel… It’s a Thunder Mountain novella or short novel. Finished it this morning. Those who are following my 100 day challenge with letters will get a uncorrected copy of it in a week or so. I think I will send along another Thunder Mountain book or two as well to them because this one might take a little knowledge of the Thunder Mountain books. Kris will let me know about that after she reads it. I am finally getting the entire schedule thing worked out and am writing again solidly, now in the mornings. So tomorrow I will start a brand new book (no idea which…

No Time
Watching World Series… 17 Innings and still going, so used all my blog time for that and still didn’t get to see the end, since I have to be up early for a run tomorrow. And I don’t even much like baseball on television or either team for that matter. But 17 innings. Wow, that was fun to watch for a time. Maybe a better blog finally tomorrow.

No Real Brain Yet
Hold On… If I owe you an email from the last week I should be able to get to you tomorrow (Friday). Sorry for the delay. I had far too much fun in this workshop and learned far too much stuff and my brain just wants to veg. And I would not have done this much without this silly blog streak.

Slow On Responses
Not Much Time for Email… So I will be slow on responses for a day or so. Please be understanding with this old guy. I have a lot of old and new friends in town for the next day or so to talk to. So I am not getting home until late. But I at least wrote this much to keep my streak of nightly blogging alive. No idea why I keep this streak going, but here it is. Sorry for the delay if I have not gotten back to you yet on an email. I will, I promise.

Quick Post To Hit Challenge
Vegas Internet is Down… Using my phone hot spot to do this, so going to be quick to hit my challenge of a blog a day. First off, walked and ran 7.5 miles today. Slowly gaining distance, so that feels good. And got a bunch of things done for the coming Master Class. And once again I can tell you that the November regular workshops are now up on Teachable. Sign up at Teachable.com And there are lifetime subscriptions available on Teachable as well if you decide to get serious and really try to take as many as possible. Class #49… Nov 6th … Depth #3: Research Class #50… Nov 6th…

Remember My Last Challenge?
Writing At Pulp Speed Five… Doing 10 novels in 100 days. Plus a book blogging about it. That challenge? Remember? Well, it started on September 9th and got off to a very rocky start, to say the least. (That is such a huge understatement it makes me giggle.) So what happened? Simple, actually. I ended up trying to do far, far too many things at once. — I switched my sleeping schedule five hours, from writing late and going to bed late to getting up early and writing during the day. That switch has worked, but weeks and weeks of time to get used to. — I increased my exercise,…

Exercise Continuing
Down 20 Pounds in Ten Weeks… Exactly as planned, which almost never happens with weight loss of any kind. Ran/walked another 5k this morning in another fun-run event, this time for a Children’s Hospital. Started at 8 am on the other side of the valley from here. (Meant getting up about the time I used to go to bed when living on the coast. Course was hilly, so my time ended up about the same as the last two. I need to drop more weight before the time will really improve. But I did walk 43 miles in steps last week. Average about 12,300 steps a day. Best week so…

Getting To Some Writing
Yes, Still In the Challenge… But way behind because life has just jammed up over the last few weeks with far, far too many things that must be done. And exercise is one of those things. But I have not given up on my challenge just yet. Yesterday I got back into the book and tonight I’m going to give it writing time. So a short post because for tonight writing comes ahead of this blog. Go figure. So instead of something worthwhile, you get a picture of me standing in front of a sign before a 5k charity run a few days ago. And no, that is not my…
