Good afternoon. LOL.. I was in a good mood when I posted my grief stuff and my quotes, but then the world saw me smiling... and here I am four hours later. LOL Ya gotta laugh because moaning about it gets me nowhere. I have tentatively finished the first of the (now) two stories, and they liked it.... Sign in to see full entry.

Just What is This Guy Doing?
Good morning. The day has got off to a chilly start... in a Florida perspective anyway. It got down to 50, but it is slowly climbing back into a 'respectable' area at the current temp of 67. I sent the first ~half of the story I am writing for compensation yesterday. I just got an email saying they... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm going to attempt to sneak in here as often as I can to make my "quotes" and "grief" posts, and when possible, make a post here. I have begun to get caught up with what I was 'paid' to write, where I can stop here. It was a professional opportunity, but it could get me to the next level of being... Sign in to see full entry.

This morning, I had a little time, so I added a few entries to my journal about grief and quotes from my book, "Dealing With Grief." In the book, the grief quotes have a much longer 'talk' segment. That book is selling quite well, much to my surprise. I have made HUGE progress in my novel! I have... Sign in to see full entry.

Food For Thought
I've been giving a lot of thought to stepping away from this platform for a few weeks... maybe longer. As I've been writing, I am working furiously to get my projects finished, but I find myself running out of time every day. I started clocking myself doing various things, and I routinely spend an...

Good morning. The dogs all had to go out earlier than usual this morning, but I suspect the sound of a stuck car horn probably got them going. We had a light rain all night long, so the grass was wet, and by the time they were all back inside, so were they. I have to be on the road shortly. I've got... Sign in to see full entry.

HELP! My Actions, A New Approach & Intentions
Good morning. Even though what I'm posting below is more important, a quick note. Starting tomorrow, the companion story I post here will be in the comments. I'm not looking for 'clicks' or anything. I post here because I enjoy the place... but I also post my stories to see how they look and change... Sign in to see full entry.

North V South... Story Added!
Good morning. I'm here 'early' because I think a guy who promised to help me put up some paneling in our living room said he would be here around 9. I don't know if there are many 'southerners' here, but there is a decided work ethic difference between northerners and southerners... and I know... Sign in to see full entry.

Short Sentences, Happy Birthday! & How I Handle Both!
Good Sunday morning. I don't really have a lot to say this morning about 'life in general,' so I'm going to give you an insight into some of the stuff I have learned writing these romance stories. Writing 'conversations' in a story can be tricky. I think I've come up with two dozen different ways of... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. We had a great night last night, and we didn't get home until almost 1:00 am. Unfortunately, the dogs got me up at 6:50 this morning, and once I am awake, I can't go back to sleep... so, I've spent the last two+ hours writing. I'm working on another romance story because the genre... Sign in to see full entry.
