An Explanation
By way of explanation, I just posted just shy of 1000 words for Part Forty Two of my novel and it needs some follow up. The scene described there was one in which I actively participated. I didn't do it because I wanted to do it, I was ordered by a judge to do a quick physical on the baby. I was...

A Coming Firebomb
The novel I'm posting is slowly on the verge of blowing up in a bad way. It was hard to write this story and it was even harder to write the finale. It will be posted sometime this week. I saw this very thing happen in real life, live as it happened, and it made me sick then. Tragedies, at least the...

Music Soothes The Savage Beast
I was asked why I always make a lot of references to lines from music and songs. It's simply because the music means something to me. It may not strike you as it does me, but music has made me cry since I was very young. My grandson Johnny is like that too. I had him listening to a version of...

Just Call Me MR NANO! LOL
Well YEAH ME! I cross the sacred line and I've "WON!" I got up early this morning and have been pounding away and hit over 54,000 words. This is the incredibly goofy video you get to see when you win! If this isn't inspiration enough, nothing will ever inspire you! I'm not sure you can get access to...

The NaNo Is Almost Done - PLUS Some News!
I've almost crossed the 50,000 word limit over on NaNoWriMo. I probably should have just worked another 20 minutes and did it, but I'm tired! I think I'm at 49,290 words right now. I'll pass the line tomorrow sometime and then get back to getting a couple other projects finished. Speaking of...

Baby - It's Cold Outside
It was 72 yesterday. Today, that is almost the wind speed that is blowing the snow about. Yippie! Our power has been on and off due to falling trees and whipping winds. No snow has accumulated.... yet, but if it keeps going at it like this, I suspect there will be visual now on the ground by...

Just A Rambling Man
Well, the funeral is over and people have all gone home. Everyone says, "If you need something, just let me know!" but they don't really mean it. They will avoid you like you have Herpes. Why? because people don't know what to say to the spouse of someone who died way too soon or via suicide, so...

Thank You
Thank you to those who have left comments about my friend. I'm on my way over there again this morning, but wanted to thank the people at Blog It that have become like an extended family. V

Rest In Peace - A Serious Post for Today
I grew up on a farm in rural west central Michigan and was driving tractors when I was six. My Father and Grandfather constantly harped on me about be extremely cautious of the PTO or power take off unit on the back of virtually every tractor we had. They all had a guard on them but my Dad would...

Excuses, Excuses! Part Two
You know, I have a dozen different excuses for being kind of sluggish here. First and foremost, my NaNo is now at just shy of 31,000 words. Nothing I am horribly proud of yet, but I'll use it later next year. I have been charged with 'babysitting' my two grandsons, Bruce and Johnny. Bruce is a...
