We didn’t get the snow that was forecast last night, unless you count a weird, light dusting I noticed around the car windows this morning, but the weather has definitely put the lie to the idea that we’ve finally entered spring. I suspect I’ll finally be able to stop wearing my winter coat by late April, but late March seems to be pretty much off the table.<\/p>\n

It’s been an interesting week, albeit not always interesting in ways that I’d like. One of the editors I work with told me the other day that he’d had an anxiety dream about this one book, and I’m close to having a few myself. There’s some small comfort in knowing the big issues that are keeping a couple of projects from moving forward aren’t of my<\/i> making, but…well, not a whole lot. Still, I think we’re further along today than we were yesterday, so there’s that at least.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I had one of them birthday-type things again. It seems like I had the last one only a year ago. It’s been mostly uneventful, although I received some very nice gifts — almost exclusively books — and well-wishes, and it was a good day. <\/p>\n

I even did some writing, which I’ve managed to do most every day for the past week and a half. And while it’s still very scatter-shot and meandering — very<\/i> first-draft-y — some good ideas and forward momentum may have snuck in while I wasn’t paying attention. (They’re not wrong when they say a big part of writing is just showing up.) Today’s few pages didn’t bring any great eureka moments, and showing up isn’t always fun<\/i>, but I never regret writing, only when I don’t.<\/p>\n

Anyway, it’s been an odd sort of week, but not a bad one, even kind of good in its way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
