I finished 'Used & Abused' at 52,547 words. Not bad for a story that I hoped would hit 20,000 words. I am having fresh eyes go behind me and see if they can find any problems in the story line. Fresh eyes are important at the end of a story. I will let you know when it is on Amazon. Sign in to see full entry.

I finally regained access to my own site after a eighteen month long battle to retrieve it from some clowns in the Ukraine. We moved a number of our smaller websites to a satellite server owned by a guy I knew. Obviously, his server security sucked as the server was hacked four days later. I pay a...

For What It's Worth
M'Lady and I are watching "This is Us" over on Hulu. If family is important to you, this is a good program. There have been several moments that caused both of us to become quite emotional together.

I know that you all thought you were shed of me, and by and large, you were right. I had asked to be 'paused,' but yet, I was billed. Life goes on. I will stop in here now and then throughout the 2020 NaNoWriMo event. I started my first NaNo back in 2002 which is how I found BlogIt. I've... Sign in to see full entry.

Hello, my friends. Stopping in to say hi one more time, and give you the link to my hour long interview with the Fresh Ink Group last night. We covered a lot of subjects and there were two or three times where I had to 'gather myself' as we spoke about various things. Typically, these shows are very... Sign in to see full entry.
