Well, Happy New Year! Typing that makes me smile because this time next week we'll be into February. The holidays were busy since Thanksgiving came on the heels of the move. Then came Christmas.
I still have things to rearrange and get rid of since moving two months ago. There have been a lot of distractions plus my scattered attention span that interfere with my writing. And I've picked up the habit of watching TV again.
I caught last Tuesday's Office marathon on TBS and now I'm hooked. Blame it on Jim and Pam. I love, love, love the way their romance is written. There's so much in the little moments and missed opportunities between them that rings true. You feel like you're in a big secret but it plays out in a subtle way. I haven't yet seen the episodes where they become a couple and head towards marriage so I'll be tuning in every Tuesday and now I'm planning to watch on Thursday nights too.
Three weeks ago I got roped into watching Castle thanks to the crackling, tug-of-war banter between Beckett and Castle.

Rain break
It just started raining. The trees are swaying and the pattering against the windows, walls and railings sounds like a wind chime. So pretty. My dog's not going to like it though. She needs to walk once the rain stops.
I'm back to writing. It's slow going. I'm on the third or forth version of the same scene I've been working on for over a week. Last night I started a new story to distract myself and prove that I could get a hundred words in. I made it to five hundred. This one's a suspense though. I wanted to go in a completely different direction and practice external conflict more.
But I'm going to refocus on CBG today. I think if I let myself get swept up in another story, I risk having two incomplete works on hand. Discipline in this arena is good.
Wow, it's pouring down now. Poor doggie. I should have taken her out sooner. Ah, it's slowing down again. No, typed that too soon.
I caught the last half of the Jersey Housewives reunion. Is that show bananas or what? Must catch the repeat this evening! Sarah's House is coming up in a few minutes on Fine Living. She's got fabulous taste.
Rain stopped again.
