Musings and meanderings on my writing process, progress and procrastination.

1. It’s Beginning to Look a Lot Like What I Imagined

When I first get an idea for a book, a buzz of excitement travels through and hovers around me as I start to visualize the big picture. But when I’m ready to capture them in black and white, the fleeting, vibrant scenes I initially imagined become less-than once they’re on the computer screen. At some point, though, I’ll string together something substantial, verging on the exciting, or at least approaching my initial big-picture brilliance.

That’s pretty much what’s happening at my house right now.

Raise high the chimney, bricklayers! Real steps (but they protected them
(with apologies to J.D. Salinger) before I got the shot).

Piecing together the hardwood.
First hint of plumbing (outside the roughed-in pipes).

My new favorite room.
