Parting Thoughts For Today

Today was an exceptional day in about thirty different ways. I finally got Lisa to sing this song with me. It was fun. I saw BS&T (Blood, Sweat, & Tears) do this song live back in 1972 and I loved it then. Little did I ever dream that it would be like this. My resting pulse has dropped down into the...

I just got this email from Amazon. I get them fairly often, but ya never get used to seeing this stuff from Amazon! It says I've sold 44 copies of this story this weekend (Friday AM thru right now) Not bad for a kid. Sign in to see full entry.

Yep, today is my 67th birthday, and I'm quite happy, thank ya, very much! I feel more like 35... 40 tops, and I have everything that a man might ever expect to have to be happy. A beautiful set of surroundings, my dogs, my writings... and...mmmm... there was something else I was going to mention...... Sign in to see full entry.

I am going to make this a very short note. I was sitting in the living room with the television on, but I wasn't watching it. It was on strictly for the noise that it made. The sun had just gone down and a light rain was beginning. The weather matched my mood, dark and dank. I was missing my wife. I... Sign in to see full entry.

I generally don't start posting here until after 10 AM, but since Lisa called me at 8 this morning, I figured I'd tell you what is new. A) My grandson is very sore, but stable per the doctor making rounds at 7:15AM. That's a good thing. They anticipate that he will remain there for at least 15 to 21... Sign in to see full entry.

Update on Bruce

Early this morning, my now 21 year-old grandson, Bruce (he was 'Mike' in 'The Darkness,' and 'Johnny Robot,' and one other story under a different name) was heading to his job. He was sitting at a stop light when he was hit from behind at about 40mph. Bruce had his seatbelt on, but was still... Sign in to see full entry.

We are headed downstate toward Butterworth Hospital in Grand Rapids. I'm not sure of the details, but one of my grandsons was severely injured in an accident. More when I can. L&V Sign in to see full entry.

Something To Ponder

Another wonderful day has passed by. So much accomplished today on multiple levels. I spent one of my hour sessions getting the first 1000 words of a new dystopian novel on 'paper.' It probably won't be here due to its subject matter, but I'll let it sit for a few days before going back to it. The... Sign in to see full entry.

I should be putting this in my 'Let's Write' section, but this one gets more traffic. One of the places I use to push my books is over on Bookbub.com. I have put up about 15 different stories there over the last year, and have gotten one non-paid push before. It is my understanding that they have... Sign in to see full entry.

A Review

I've sold about 80 copies of 'Finding Myself Again,' but it got its first review. A review can take from two to five days to post so the public can see it. The review I got today made everything worth the time I spent writing it. 5.0 out of 5 stars Verwayne's story is my story Reviewed in the United... Sign in to see full entry.
