Find the edge of the world…

Sara

This was Sunday… Joel the Obstinate and Cursed Jetta has been an ornery cuss since spring when he started having problems getting started. If he sat more than two weeks without being driven, he needed to be jumped. Then it started dwindling to less than two weeks, and finally a week after his last jump, he wouldn’t start at all. The battery is only two years old. The original lasted me eight years. Bob’s dad… Keep reading…Find the edge of the world…

When the time comes…

I’m starting from scratch on the Ben & Marina timeline. Because I am a glutton for punishment apparently. It needs to be done. Gator and Sheep are trying to help but they can’t figure out what the hell all my scribbling means. They’ll just be over here listening to the Ben & Marina playlist. — Kiss Me Slowly Parachute

Almost easy…

It appears the Twitter widget in the sidebar has stopped working. WTF, Twitter? W. T. F? Also, the text on my website seems to be displaying differently on this computer. Either that or I’m just crazy. Or both. I usually skim the spam comments before I mass-delete them.

Still here we are…

Sara

Anytime I hear Bob Seger’s We’ve Got Tonight I think of the episode of Cheers when Rebecca gets really drunk the night before she’s supposed to marry Robin and sings the song to Sam, trying to seduce him.

I wonder if I’d still… Keep reading…Still here we are…

Wrapped up in silence…

Sara

Writer’s block has been kicking my ass lately. I have four projects I’ve been stabbing at and I haven’t been making much of any progress on any of them. At least nothing that doesn’t sound like crap when I read it back again. I’m not really surprised by this development. But it doesn’t make it any less aggravating. I’ve been listening to the Ben & Marina soundtrack in hopes of sparking some inspiration on that… Keep reading…Wrapped up in silence…

This is just a journey…

Sara

I keep flip-flopping between the Ben & Marina story and the Kate & Michael story. I’m probably making more progress in the former than the latter…60,000 words and counting…but I go back and forth when inspiration strikes and it keeps me writing. The more I read through what I have written on the Kate & Michael project, the more I realize, I still have a problem with one of the names. I wasn’t entirely sold… Keep reading…This is just a journey…
