It's supposed to hit close to 93 today. I'm going to do my dog walking early so as to avoid the heat. I'm sure some of you remember my post about my friend who had bladder cancer. I got a call about 4AM telling me that he passed away during the night. This reminds me to remind you, living for the... Sign in to see full entry.

It took a lot of thought, but Bruce's fate is now sealed. On and off all afternoon, I thought about if I was a Roman Emperor, would it be thumbs up or thumbs down? I ain't tell you yet, but I've made up my mind on the path that I want to take. I didn't mean to make this a love story, that was just a... Sign in to see full entry.
The only problem I am having with my murder story is that I'm having too much fun with it. When I spent those seven years of working the 'inner city' aspect of Grand Rapids, Michigan, I learned too much of that culture. Add in the two years I worked in the prison system, and you'll understand where... Sign in to see full entry.
I guess I didn't realize how wound up in getting the rewrite of my old novel and getting it back up. I slept well and late. I suppose that means that I needed to do so. It is supposed to be another scorching day at about 88 to 90 today. As soon as I get back from our walk, I'll be spending the day... Sign in to see full entry.

Well, I learned something new about the publishing paperback stuff tonight. After spending some time working to make a decent looking 6" x 9" paperback model, I was interrupted by a call. When I came back to upload the manuscript, I accidentally sighted and clicked on the ebook file. To my surprise,... Sign in to see full entry.
About 11PM EST last night, I submitted the edited and improved version of 'I Remember Judy' to Amazon. At 2:47AM, I got an email telling me that the new version of the story was ready and available for retail. Hmmm... and Audible has had my audio books for closing in on 90 days and has done nothing...

I'm probably not going to post anything in my two active story lines here tonight. I am about thirty minutes from submitting the 'cleaned up' version of 'I Remember Judy' to Amazon. I would like that one to be up and clean ASAP. I didn't find a lot of problems, but I've learned something about 'the... Sign in to see full entry.
I'm on the home stretch of completing my re-write of 'I Remember Judy - A Love Story.' I've found that there are several places where I have to stop to gather myself as I find some passages that hurt me to write the first time. I just came across the passage of where we first moved to Florida. We... Sign in to see full entry.
At a bit after 9AM, it is in the upper 60s here, but the weather dude says we will be well into the 80's by the end of the day. The extended forecast says that by Wednesday, the next five days could be pushing 90, something that is rarely achieved here. My basement office is always cool, so I have...

I'm happy with what I got done today. I even got done earlier than normal, so I'm gonna call it a day. Here's a fun fact for ya: Contrary to popular belief, a turtle cannot come out of its shell. The turtle’s shell grows with them, so it’s impossible for them to grow too big for it. As my dad used... Sign in to see full entry.
