Hopping on the Thursday Thirteen bandwagon today, because a dose of normal in the current sea of chaos is welcome today, and having a bit of structure helps immensely. So.
- Random duck pictures will be a lot easier now that I have a camera cord again, though the ones in this post are from a few weeks back.
- I am happy to be a caregiver, and at the same time, really want a nap. Also some reliable way of remembering what day it is. Internet and calendars, yes, those are helpful.
- If the library could get our family another copy of Game of Thrones, season one, with season two following close behind, that would be great. I am in withdrawal.
- Reading historical romance, my favorite genre, is really hard right now, and I am not at all certain why. I am fairly sure this will pass, but I want to read romance, though it’s hard to get into and that bugs me like heat rash.
- Realistic YA reading (and listening) binge continues. I have not developed a desire to write in this genre, but reading it works quite well. I could gorge on the raw emotion I’m finding there and want to carry it over to romance.
- I wonder if I left my favorite historical romance books and my favorite realistic YA books in a candlelit room with Barry White music playing, if they would kindly breed.
- I suspect their method of reproduction may be through my brain and fingers.
- Technology is not my friend, and I suspect may actually be writing nasty things about me on the walls of whatever it is computers use as bathrooms. I do not want to know what computers use as bathrooms.
- Notebooks are love. It is not possible to have too many notebooks. Starting a separate notebook blog crosses my mind more frequently than I would like to admit.
- When I am not writing romance, I miss it like a homesick orphan. :dims lights, cues spotlight, sings even more mournful version of “Memory” from Cats.:
- Computer issues will be solved, at some point, one way or another, and finding workarounds in the meantime is a good way to stretch creativity, but I am looking forward to finding the solution even more.
- I am impatient for the Paper Towns movie, and to see the two episodes of Poldark waiting on my DVR. I also would like to mush them together and see if they breed, but then remind myself to see #7 above.
- One earbud from the set that came with my tablet has just given up the ghost. See #8 above. This requires more ducks:
duck, duck…
…goose

Pull out some LaVeryle Spencer like Morning Glory…that might get feed the craving for historical romance but in a more digestible form. Notebooks are love….re-read some of your old ones? Or are those not historical enough?
Take care of yourself.
LaVyrle Spencer is a great suggestion. Love her historicals. I really want a historical romance that will put my heart and emotions through the wringer before I get my HEA. Hm. I think I have November of the Heart on hand, and may need to peruse the library for others.
I do reread some of my old notebooks. Always interesting to see where I was at other stages of life.
