Part 2
Good day!
Whew!
Left home at 8:05, streaked across town to the pharmacy, made two stops on the way back, & was on the walking trail at 8:53.
Time to drink more water, make tea, & edit.
On the walk, I saw birds. They were doing bird things in a bird sort of way like birds are prone to doing.
Be everwell.

Good day!
SIX Book3 chapters remain to edit. Counting down is but one of the things I do to fuel my motivation.
Ill grab a prescription at the pharmacy when they open, then walk.
Im so ready to hike. Ive never pushed as hard at editing as I have this month.
Be everwell.

Good day!
*Lolo Peak.
7-chapters remain to edit in Book3.
Yesterdays chapter required cross-referencing with Book1. Its complicated.
What isnt complicated is that, yet again, I cried. The moment is setup in Book1 in Plandons cavern.
A walk, & another chapter
Be everwell.

Good day!
Eight chapters to edit in Book3. Since its targeted editing, I bounce around. After my walk, Ill tackle the last longish chapter.
With only short chapters remaining, next week I can fit in a hike.
I wont hike on the weekends. Ive learned that lesson.
Be everwell.
Spring shoots brighten the waking Forest with bursts of verdant color
Test over very steep climbs
so, finally this little gear and I pushed ourselves to the limit on the hill and climbs of hell and we passed the test, beyond what I could have done with a conventional bike, I know that model is not usually for those purposes, but I still have to say that I had some hard trails that I had to do a little hiking... it was fun and because it's an e-bike doesn't mean you don't exercise, as I said before everything still depends on the cyclist.
No, I've neither been on Easter Islands nor in ancient Egypt. Those stone figures just look that way.
I've just returned from . The didn't seem too primising this morning but changed completely in the afternoon. So I went out after the rain to finally get some fresh air again.
Recovering from neck problems, I'm back out hiking again after two months. Herron Pond, White Memorial Foundation, Morris, Connecticut. April 17, 2025, 3:45 PM. Back on track for new long-distance adventures starting mid-to-late May.

Good day!
The real editing countdown has begun. Nine chapters remain.
It is, though, a bit like climbing a mountain. There are always more mountains. Fortunately, I love to climb writing mountains.
I at last began my self-editing series on my blog. Another mountain, & one unexpectedly popular.
Be everwell.
Hiked Rice Lake in North Vancouver today. Met some little friends and saw some beautiful sights!17
Good day!
Blue Mountain, which I climbed last summer. A fire a decade ago caused the strange patterns.
TEN chapters left to edit in Book3. This is always a thrilling time as an edit winds down.
Ive begun thinking about blurbs for Book2, my next project.

Good day!
Another productive day behind, another ahead. Its as simple as that.
Ill edit my blog post, then edit another chapter. More of the same.
Except, not.
When it involves creativity, theres no sameness about it, not if Im doing it right, which is why I welcome the challenge.
Be everwell.
15
Good day!
Ive been on fire editing & yesterday was more of the same. It proves to me how my editing & drafting brains work differently.
Whether my books sell or not, this is what I do, this is my art, what Ill leave behind.
A walk, write a blog post, & edit.
Be everwell.

Good day!
*I finally managed a picture of a black-billed magpie (corvid). There are a lot of them locally, but theyre more skittish than crows.
Groceries & a walk this morning, then Ill dive into another chapter. This novel edit is winding down, my next project on the horizon.
Be everwell.

Good day!
I was insanely productive yesterday. Rather than question it, I rolled with it.
Drafting creates a story that exists in the clouds. Dramatic, perhaps, but not always clear. Editing brings clarity, delivering a gentle breeze & a blue sky.
Be everwell.
Getting my confidence back I ran a 42km loop around the Dandenong Ranges yesterday. Vert, altitude and technicality was less than the Razorback Run that I DNF'd, but it was good to really nail a of a decent distance (faster than I thought I would). Nutrition worked much better (still not perfect, but a significant improvement over Razorback) too. Anyway, yay me

Good day!
15 chapters remain!
Ive been pushing hard, sleeping hard, & walking faster.
Partly, I can thank the inspiration I draw from watching my chart fill-in.
After Back to Book2 & its publication. ThenThe Book5 novel scan, edit Book4, publish Book3. Thats the power of rotation.
Be everwell.

Good day!
I swore Id finish editing Book3 this month & am on track to do so, with days to spare.
Its typical spring, where the weather each day bears no resemblance to the one before.
Im trying to walk earlier each morning in anticipation of summer. Our nights are still below freezing.
Be everwell.

Good day!
Its supposed to soar to 67F (19C) today, but Ill walk when its still barely over freezing. Itll return closer to normal tomorrow.
At least, its supposed to.
Later, Ill publish another blog post in my self-editing series & (what a coincidence) edit another chapter.
Be everwell.
1284 SecondsSo, I've posted the 4 hours and 10 minutes version of this shot yesterday. This one here is almost the same (I envisioned this look actually with my first failed trial) but this one here was shot in about 21 minutes. The plan was to shoot 6 shots on the span of 2 hours, with each being for 21 minutes, but I didn't program the remote correctly unfortunately and ended up with one shot only this one. Anyway, the main idea is to gather as much as possible of light trails and merge them into one image. The noise level is not as drastic (still there though) and cleaning it was somewhat easier than the previous one. The previous one went through many process (and still ended up grainy), while this one was cleaned in one go.
I don't like the general composition though and the trash bins just outside makes me cringe really. I need to find another (safe) location!

Good day!
The spring weather yo-yo continues. Its rising at present.
Ill edit my blog post today & a chapter. My skill improves, yet its difficult to describe how.
Progress continues to fuel progress.
My next hike will probably take me out of the valley, but not where its muddy.
Be everwell.
After the paint out, I had to squeeze in a short hike. The trail head was just 5 minutes away.
I'm going to the "N."
