The writing has not gone well. Short stories are being rejected (though I only sent out a couple to a few places) and novels are not being written. I am very confident that I'll write more--and more consistently--once I'm in my own office in the new house. I always wrote more there--...

Good morning my dear friends. Monday morning and I'm moving slow. I feel like the head is fighting heat and allergies today. I have to really keep a check on that or a sinus infection will be soon to follow. I didn't even get up this morning to do cardio as the head felt like lead. B and I are...
