I’m taking a couple days out at Rivendell, and the place is working its usual magic. I swear time flows differently here. Words certainly do. Logically, part of it must be getting away from my usual domestic routine. Still, lately it’s been an effort to produce 200 words a day, but in half a day yesterday I managed 850 words.
This week’s writing news is mostly that I’ve started writing on Medium.com. If you don’t know Medium, it’s an article site. Thousands or articles about all kinds of everything. Some of them are free, and some behind a paywall. To get the really good stuff, you have to besome a paying member: $5 per month or $50/year and you have access to everything.
One of the great joys of staying here is the animals. There are 5 cats, 3 dogs, 3 guinea pigs and 26 chickens (which means really fresh, organic eggs). Lucky is an old dog now, but he still stands on his hind legs and raises a front paw in a blessing. The views out over the Caldera are amazing too.
