I was discussing pieces of novel around midnight. The protagonist in my novel is anguished. A lot of feedback about my creative fiction pieces comments on dark undertones. I suppose there's special irony in me also penning books about benefits of positive affirmations and self-healing... Everyone has their own outlet, I guess. I someone earlier that I appreciate good writing that captures despair because I think most humans become lost in such a...
The puppies are settled in. It was a tricky few days. Jet lag, upset stomachs. The two of them have battled on like champions and both are happily settled in their new Queens home. I can't believe they're here! I sat down for the first time earlier and pieced together a few chunks of documents that came out to about 60,000 words.

I realize there is a special sort of insanity in flying two furry creatures over 10,000 miles back to my loving arms... but they're my babies. I don't reckon they'd abandon me for the opposite side of the planet, hence I never intended to bring such upon them. ... Get on the plane! Timothy and I were...
