Whew... What A Day

Got down to the nitty gritty dirty stuff today with the new website. With any luck, I can show it to all of you tomorrow. It's not a complicated site but it has a lot of small details I want to make sure are right before the doors open. My other, admittedly crude, website was selling about $20 a...

It's Dusty In Here

We've made a lot of progress on the new website. With any luck at all, it will be done some time Wednesday afternoon. The basic frame work is up, just need to add all of the fancy stuff. I have another gent that is a fellow writer that wants to put some of his own stuff up there for sale. I'll... Sign in to see full entry.

Cleanin' Up My Mess

I'm updating my author website to give it a fresher look as we edge toward the 'reading season.' I use it to sell pdf's of my work, CD's of my audio books and actual paperbacks. I haven't done much to keep it looking good for over a year, I was just adding new novellas. It was getting sloppy and I... Sign in to see full entry.

A New Rhythm

HA! LOL. I found it! I had written something that I wanted to use for the story I'm working on now a year or so back and I couldn't locate it... but tonight... I was watching something on Roku and it hit me that I had FTP'd that file up to one of my servers. I paused the show for a minute, thought... Sign in to see full entry.

Aliens and Birthdays

Whew. Another weekend with a ton of sports reporting stuff to do but I got the jump on it this week. My mind was off my normal writing stuff so I spent that 'wasted' time getting a lot of my normal weekend writing done early. It's almost 2 AM EST (New York time) on Sunday morning and I have...

Expensive Legal Stuff

This is going to be an off week for me. Between the power outage we had, I have to be in court like three times over the 'estate' of my wife. Despite having joint title to everything, they still are making me go to court to make sure everything was 'legal." I suspect the real objective here is to... Sign in to see full entry.

Good Grief, What A Week!

Late Sunday night, we had a sudden power outage. It only lasted about 45 seconds but when it did come back up, it came up minus power to about half the lights and outlets in the house and no water pump. Hmmmmmm. A friend of mine own an electric repair company and they got there late Monday. He was... Sign in to see full entry.

The Weekend is Over... Whew!

Another busy weekend behind me. I have done a ton of writing, just not much in my novella's. Sports columns are all done, websites are all updated... and then I took a walk in the woods. A real nice breeze was blowing through the trees and it was extremely relaxing. I'm going to fiddle around on... Sign in to see full entry.

A Much Closer Look Behind the Scenes of Everything I Write

In response to a comment Annicita left me, I wrote a huge reply but decided to just post it here. This is a deeply personal look at what made me, me. This is a lot of where I pull some of the 'darker' things that happen in my stories. Rage, emotional pain, and painful memories do a lot to fuel an... Sign in to see full entry.

A Look Behind the Scenes

Something that should come to absolutely no one as a surprise, a lot of the first part of "The Touch" is based on my youth. It makes it easier to keep a story line straight when you know the characters. In the section I just posted, I wrote about the car Todd was given and that section was a replay...
