Blogger’s block.

I’ve had a serious case of  blogger’s block lately. I’d take blogger’s block over writer’s block any day. … But not necessarily every day.  

Today the doctor let us know my son is officially free of his heart and apnea monitor.

Here he is on Easter Sunday:

And here’s him being his usual cheerful self:

You may have noticed those little black and white cords. No worries; they’ve officially gone bye-bye and the next chapter can begin.

I finished reading A Game of Thrones. Finally. I had no idea just how much story laid between the covers, like I just read five very good novels rolled into one.

Then I started in on The Path of Daggers. I figure if I’ve read seven WoT books, I can read the rest. It’s been kind of nice settling back into Jordan’s familiar world, as good as George R.R. Martin’s was. I’m heavily invested in the characters of WoT and am excited to see the story through to the end.

My editing’s been going very well despite getting knocked out of my own NPI. My paragraphs have gotten … noticably larger lately– without feeling too info-dumpy. I feel like I don’t have to trim everything as much as I used to because the flow still seems to be there. But please. If it’s not, knock me off my high horse.

Maybe I should introduce you to Cirellio sometime. Maybe a passage from a chapter? He is the main character, after all.

And maybe I should change the way the site looks, something bright instead of dark? A change around here might be just the inspiration I need.
