I got running on a short story today and knocked out a 4500 story for my writing club contest. Those unfortunate enough to be on my email list received a pdf copy of it. It will have to perk in my brain a week or so and then I'll look at it again. It doesn't need to be finished until June 1st. I've...

Despite being up late late last night, I was up and writing early courtesy of the doggie door accidentally getting shut during the night. I suspect that Buster got inquisitive and it fell into the locked position. The warm up here continues and I'm actually beginning to see patches of brown grass...

I spent too much time working on another story, so I used my time allotted to the story I am posting here to write a 'transition' chapter. I have to make the move from meeting to Mary to getting to understand who she was and why. Realizing that I met this woman in 2008, I still talk with her at...

While it is far from 'warm,' it is far warmer here than it has been in months, so I gathered up the dogs and we went out into the Hiawatha National Forest. Needless to say, a good time was had by all. I wish I could have taken my Nikon, but the first few trips out, the dogs are a handful. It looks...

Once again, everything I've posted to date on my 'Dystopia' story is true. If I had only known what this woman would put me through in the next six years, I would have screamed at her and told her to go away and leave me alone, but my Father wouldn't have been happy with me. As time wore on, I began...

A Topic I Just Thought About
I'll get back to this later. I was writing something in another story, and when I write this, it rung a bell in me. One of the funny things about human nature is how often the critic projects his own flaws onto others.

I got stuck for the first time all winter yesterday. There was a fair amount of snow in my drive, and my regular snow plow guy RJ's truck was down for repair. I decided that I could make it through the snow and wander down to get my mail. I was able to back out without any trouble, and went about...

Took me a bit, but I finally got the new story rolling. So far, every thing I've posted has been true. The very first night, this woman followed me home, waited about 25 minutes, and then called me sitting just to the west of my home. I can't count the number of times I would pull out of my drive...

Another day off to a bad start. Four calls, only one of them important. The other three took up over two hours of my time. The important one took four minutes. Irony defined. It's supposed to be 50 here today, and I am more than ready for it. We lost a lot of snow, but it still stands 8 to 10" deep...

It seems that when it rains, it pours. Without going into the events of the day, suffice to say it was less than pleasant. That old song from the TV show, 'Hee Haw' keeps playing in the back of my head. Long story short, I didn't get spit-diddly-do-da done today. I hate days like that. Oh well. It's...
