I am a very confident person these days because of a friend who has inspired me to be the person that I'd like to be. My friend went through an experience in the past few days that I could...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/canine2779380/200817Geez, it seems like I just started writing the book and yet I find myself working on chapter four. Of course, if I had more faith in myself I would probably get a lot more accomplished. I find myself going back to make changes to what is already written more than actually writing new pages. But...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/canine2779380/199519I found out today that I am a disgruntled employee! Can you believe that? So I asked the first question that popped into my head; how do I become a gruntled employee? Perhaps if I weren’t a disgruntled employee the other employees wouldn’t want to disassociate themselves from me. That is very...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/canine2779380/198514a few days ago and I've been working on chapter 3. I've been told that I probably have closer to seven or eight chapters finished actually, but they're my chapters and I'll number them any way that I please. I never would have guessed that I'd have this much fun writing a book. I've never had...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/canine2779380/196398I finished chapter one and sent it off to my editor. Then reread it for about the cazillionth time, decided that it sucked and made some changes to it, mostly additions, although I did reword a bit of it. I spent yesterday working on chapter 2, and hadn't heard anything about chapter 1, and was...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/canine2779380/195573I started writing my book, and you're all right. It is taking on a life of its own. I thought I knew exactly what I wanted to write about until I began. Now I'm not sure where I will end up, but It sure is making me think about some things I hadn't thought of in years. If I never sell a copy the...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/canine2779380/194645I have been asked to write a book about my exploits as a K9 cop. The interesting thing about the proposal is that I've thought about doing something like that for a while now. Here is my problem though, and I'm going to need lots of help with these questions: Will anyone want to read it? Should...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/canine2779380/193945I have thought about it long and hard. I've slept on it, at least as much sleep as I am able to get with Maisy in my bed, and I've come to a decision. I am now determined to become a bonafide, living breathing, and very much published writer. I owe a whole bunch of you for helping me to make this...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/canine2779380/193112I can only write when I am inspired. If there is nothing there, I can not make believe. Luckily I am surrounded by people, and animals, that inspire in me a great deal. A great deal of you have read about my dogs and for that I am very grateful, although when I joined Blogit if I thought that...http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/Blog.aspx/canine2779380/192388Musical ability runs in my family. In fact I have never taken a lesson, but given a week or two I can teach myself to play pretty much any instrument that I'd like to. Once I wanted to quit smoking, and I heard that Ian Anderson had learned to play the flute to quit the habit. So I went out and...
