A friend from a writers group I belonged to in Reno, is doing this. I think others might find it fun to ride along.

So the laptop is still getting scans. So I’ll have to blog a quickie.

Trash, check.

Knitting charity socks. Check

Finished watching Another Life. Check. I can’t wait for season two. Here is a link to the trailer (I hope)

Spent most of the day listening to the library audio of The Stand. It is due back in eight days.

Everyone here is fine. We’re trying to find the bright side of life.

How are you all doing?

Hopefully, I will have my computer back tomorrow.


So the trash is out for tomorrow. The weather is finally warming up. Laptop is going through utilities, etc. So a quick check in to let you know we’re okay. Hugs to all of you. Blogging from cell is not easy on my eyes. Know that I care. Back to knitting and other crafty fun.



As a creator of the Havenverse (about 16 books now–none published), I needed this and will refer back often as I write and edit. Take the time to read the continuation on annerallen.com. Super helpful!

One of my personal writing issues is I tend to pack my books and stories with way too many characters. If a fascinating person walks into one of my stories, I feel it would be rude not to let them join the party. I suppose my inner Manners Doctor takes over. πŸ™‚

This drives my editors batty. They think confusing the reader is worse than being rude to fictional people. And of course they’re right. They usually tell me I need to consolidate minor characters or eliminate them altogether. Someone even told me there’s a β€œrule” that a novel should have seven characters or less.

Friday, fun day! I played with the new toys/ I now have two socks going on the X-loom. And I got to Zoom with friends! At last, Christmas happened again. UPS pulled up. Like everyone else, I just let them put it on the porch. The rooster called out over and over that there was something new on the porch. Roosters are the new watch-dog. Yeah, Kali just laid on the couch and sighed, eh, no need to get crazy.

New calligraphy pens, Tombow. Now more toys to play with! Remember Christmas as a kid? It was so hard to decide what to play with first. Yeah. Today’s theme. Knitting wins now. In fact, I think my hands are itching to knit. Happy Friday, everyone!

Ahhh

I don’t know if the croakers around here look like this guy. But as I take Kali out for the last couple times of the night I hear a chorus. It is so peaceful. I wish I could see them but they are in the neighbor’s yard this year so …

All-day bingeing Grey.Β  And playing games on my phone. Didn’t knit or draw or coloring. And Yipes it’s nearly the end of the month! There is a dragon with my name on it–or will be when I get it done.

Starting the morning I was able to Zoom a service. I nice way to start the day with a lot of positive goodness during a negative time.

And after that, we all watched Sunday Morning on CBS. I love that show. My favorite part is the moment of zen. Today no egrets, I mean, there were egrets.

So that’s #What Day It Is Anyway.
