The book is done, edited, and on its way to Amazon/Kindle, probably becoming available tonight around 8PM EST if past history with them is relevant. Without being a sissy or something along that line, writing the last two chapters, I had to stop to wash my face severfal times. In fact, I got to do... Sign in to see full entry.

It is Done!
My novel is done. I'm waiting on my editor to finish up the last 2,000 words or so and I'll submit it to the "Big A" or Amazon. I'm not sure if I'm happy or sad that it is done, but even posting it in 2000 to 3500 word segments, it will take a week or so to finish out here on Blog-It. This is the "I...

Our Engagement Photo - Shade Your Eyes
I was upstairs looking for something and found this photo. Yeah, I take a lot of heat for the smarmy mustache, but it was the style back then. Judy was just recovering from a bad case of the flu and looks miserable. I weighed about 225 pounds just then. That's why when I looked into the mirror, I... Sign in to see full entry.
I just posted another 3,000 word post over in "I Remember Judy - A Love Story." I smacked out 9300 words yesterday, and as soon as the mood hits me to write, I'll finish that story today and have it on the Amazon market by Thursday. As it sits right now, I have over 84,000 words in it, about 20,000... Sign in to see full entry.

I couldn't sleep last night and I stayed up until about 4AM writing. When I went to bed, I had logged about 8900 words in my novel about my wife. If nothing stupid happens today, I'll finish it. I'm just shy of 82,000 words. now. I started this project in mid February. Even if I say so myself, this... Sign in to see full entry.

I just posted another 2800 words into my story about my wife. I know it goes against 'conventionality' here, but I've never been conventional. I've been writing that story in 1800 to 4500 word chunks, and crossed the 70,000 barrier last night. I never really intended it to be that long, but as I... Sign in to see full entry.

Hmmm. I guess the formatting issues I had using my cell phone have followed me home to my desktop. I did my normal 'copy & paste' and the words fly all over the place like leaves in a fall gust. I guess too many years working on college newspapers (back when college newspapers were actually worth... Sign in to see full entry.
As my grandfather used to tell me, 'another day, another dollar.' Maybe he said 'another dime' as the wages weren't that good back then. I'm feeling better than yesterday and may consider walking out back with the dogs as they play. I didn't get a lot done yesterday, but as I said last night, what I... Sign in to see full entry.

It's Enough
A good first day home. I didn't accomplish much, but it was a good day. Any day you get up, interact with people, and do what you need to do to live, is a good day. I tried to write, but I barely was able to squeeze out 800 words, so I put it away. There is tomorrow. Odd. I've made it to another '... Sign in to see full entry.
