What A Day Plus More on 'Twitter Adventures'

It's been one of those days that you just sigh when it is done. ( Sighhhhh ) Nothing terrible happened, just twenty-nine annoying things. Singly, I wouldn't even bother you to mention them, but they were coming in bunches. The power kept going on and off, on and off, on and off. Not only do you risk... Sign in to see full entry.

Twitter Adventures

Early Friday afternoon going into this holiday weekend, I started a Twitter blitz of about six of my best Audible books, tweeting and retweeting them several times during the day. I began to tag some prominent auto-retweet tags as it got toward evening Friday. As I hoped, all of my *advertisements*... Sign in to see full entry.

Another relatively cold night with lows of about 30. The tornadoes that hit down-state Florida swept about forty miles to the east of us as they headed down the state's west coast. We set in a low area that keeps the high winds away from our home, as I mentioned before. Of course, a tornado doesn't... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning! I had hoped for a hard rain, and boy, we sure got it last night. I did a thorough inspection of every room in the house. Twenty minutes late, I found no evidence of a leak, much to my relief. Typically, we leave some music playing in the background to absorb some of the 'neighborhood'... Sign in to see full entry.

I re-published 'The Brick,' and it is live on Amazon. You can get the e-book here and the Audible version here. I will get the Audible version redone as well to get the new stuff into it. I am talking to two of my favorite narrators right now, trying to see which one has time to do the job. I am... Sign in to see full entry.

I am about done making the new cover for 'The Brick,' and then I will republish it. I was afraid of how the story might be poorly written, but as I was reading it to edit and add more lines to it, I was happy to see that it wasn't nearly as bad as I had thought. In fact, I was somewhat amazed at how... Sign in to see full entry.

I Would Really Appreciate Your Opinions Here

This is a roughly 4600-word section that I just finished tonight for the final part of 'The Brick.' I'm looking for brief comments on its readability, continuity, and emotional impact. My skin is thick, so tell me truly what you think. Remember who I am married to! LOL As always, I mention all of... Sign in to see full entry.

Sometime tonight, I will post a very long segment from my book, 'The Brick.' It deals with the conversations with my partner that died of COVID on September 29th of 2021, some six months after losing his wife of 50+ years. I'm going to say that it will be roughly 6500 words. I am in the process of... Sign in to see full entry.

It was another cold night here, relatively speaking, of course. After hitting a low of 33 last night, it should get to be about 65 again today. It could be worse. I just checked the temps in Newberry, and I shivered when I saw it said it was -6 as of 8:30 this morning. I had a lot of little things I... Sign in to see full entry.
