Updating

Monday running errands, then met Kris at the mall because it was so cold and windy here, we decided to run (her) and mostly walk (me) in the parking garage.

Yes, I know most of you are in massive heat, and if you go about ten miles inland, it’s hot in Oregon as well. But we live on the Oregon coast for a reason. Today I went out with a sweatshirt and a jacket over that and a stocking cap and I was still chilled.

But it is about the same temperature as the winter, so when all of you are in a deep freeze in six months, I’ll still be going out in the same stuff. Damn I love living here.

And I got over 10,000 steps on target. And my weight is down on target as well at 14 pounds down.

After exercise, I worked on workshop stuff at WMG, then home to take a nap, cook dinner, and get in here to do workshop assignments.

These were wonderful tonight. Between Mystery and Expectations workshops, the assignments had me really thinking and studying. I love that.

And the new Speed workshop starting in September is coming together wonderfully. Not many people signing up, but I’m going to do it anyway.

Sort of like the Expectations workshop. The workshop will turn out to be one of our best ones that very few people sign up for. But I’m learning and I have a hunch my speed per hour will pick up as I teach that Speed workshop in September.

In fact, I just looked at the list of workshops in September and I’m damn proud of that list. Dialog, Pacing, Cliffhangers, Speed, Author Voice, and the rest. I wish like hell something like that list had been available when I came into this business.
