Today it hit 90 degrees Fahrenheit in these parts. After being relatively cool, the temperature was a rather jarring change. The Other Half and I suddenly found ourselves throwing all the windows open in order to cool the house somewhat. Since my office is on the west side of the house, it gets a lot of the afternoon heat and gets warmer than the rest of our place. I might have to actually turn a fan on if this continues. Needless to say, I'm not thrilled at the prospect of the 110 degree weather I know is coming our way.
As for writing, today was one of those days where I couldn't focus on much of anything, so I worked a little on several different projects. I worked on a rewrite of a micro piece, turning it into a flash piece. Then I jotted down ideas for writing exercises. After that I started a new story that will be very short as well, though right now I think it sucks more than a malfunctioning sex doll. I may not even bother subbing it. I've also been trying to come up with a decent idea for the Vermin anthology and had decided to incorporate the existing bits of an unfinished story called Wrong Turn in Dutch Hollow into a new piece. I actually started that before breaking for a shower, at which time The Other Half not only came up with a great idea for a Vermin-themed story, she provided plot points and a great ending. Now maybe I can get her to write it!
Despite being early (not even ten PM yet), I think I will call it a day and go watch some TV.

You've trained yours to come up with story ideas?? Neat!
Wrong Turn in Dutch Hollow - ooh, fab title.
What I would do to get to bed by 10.
Hmm, I like 90 degree weather, but not in April. And I don't envy you 110-degree weather.
"Wrong Turn in Dutch Hollow" is really an awesome title, like Cate said. And she is an expert!
Wow, didn't know Sacramento got that hot. Vegas is just below 90 right now. Not looking forward to summer.
