Big V Mumbles About Something

Well, the new story is slowly falling into line in my head. It's crazy that it took me so long to get it rolling but once it began to roll, it got easier. I've got about 2500 words into it so far and the story line is beginning to form. I predicted that 'The Darkness' would be about 18,000 words and... Sign in to see full entry.

I found this tonight http://naturalreaders.com/index.html and downloaded the free version. I've played with it a bit and while the free version will only allow you to use "5000 letters and symbols" a day, it may be of some value. I am not quite done remodeling my new office so I am not going to... Sign in to see full entry.

I was going through some old papers today and found a part of my wife's diary I hadn't ever seen before. I had asked her to start keeping a diary in hopes it would help her find herself again.

After a busy day and evening yesterday, I intend to spend this beautiful Michigan Sunday afternoon walking in the woods. Saturdays all the way though about 11 AM Sunday morning are always busy for me. I have worked for a 3/8th race track in western central Michigan for over 23 years, being the...

In response to a lament that I wasn't getting auditions as fast as I had hoped for an audio book, Annicita had asked me if I had tried a particular site. I had not and I checked it out. Here is my response to her: To get your audio book on Audible and thus Amazon, I-Tunes, and a couple other sites,... Sign in to see full entry.
