these days won't last forever

Today will be brought to you by green lemongrass tea (when the water in the tea pot finishes boiling) and Tori Amos.

It's another frosty winter day outside.

Zane Grey, the Russian Blue, is sitting on top of the rocking love seat, observing the frozen Idaho street outside. It's currently 1 degree F outside, but it feels like nine below. The sun is brilliant, however, which is a good sign.

Another lovely day of snuggling with my seventy-five pound dog, playing with my three-year-old, reading, and writing, and prepping for some other work plans is ahead.

I will enjoy and cherish this day, because these days won't last forever.

writing

I woke this morning to an e-mail from CW classmate Douglas A. Lucas. We e-mailed back and forth a few times, talking about writing and submissions, and now we're IMing briefly before we write.

These virtual writing dates have become one of my favorite things. I love looking at the little glowing dot, knowing that someone I love is writing, too, and they love what they're doing.

Fox is beside me, making a fort with blankets and couch cushions. I'm going to write lots and lots of words. I'll check in with Douglas every so often.

But before I start writing I'm going to read the latest incarnation of "Glenn of Green Gables", which was one of Douglas' CW stories. Glenn was one of my favorite characters to come out of the workshop, and I expect to be heartily entertained by this final version.
