The Wrap

For those who follow such things, I am 14,000 words into a dystopian political story this morning. The base story is now set and soon, my imagination can take off. This story has sit in my 'bone pile' since late 2013. I've started and stopped it at least ten times, but now I know I have it right,... Sign in to see full entry.

I will be closing out my account here soon, but for those that have followed our latest story, it is selling extremely fast. Considering that the 'romance genre' is vast on Amazon, these stats two days into the market are incredible. #4,951 in Two-Hour Romance Short Reads #101,111 in Romance (Kindle...

NaNoWriMo project well underway. It's completely raw, un-edited, and done on the fly, but it is already at 29,500... and I missed most of the first ten days. That leaves me twelve days to do 20,000 words... or roughly 1700 words a day. I've written longer posts here. My story is from my 'Bone Pile'... Sign in to see full entry.

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...

It's been a long day. We left Newberry at 5:30 this morning and am just getting back after a 700+ mile trip at 6 PM. Lisa had to have her cast removed and then let the neurologist check it. So far, so good. Now if I can keep her from beating me up, it should be alright within another week. We had... Sign in to see full entry.

On Regret

A paragraph from 'Used & Abused,' a story that is rounding third and headed home as I type this. This is me explaining my philosophy about life in general and regret in particular to my wife. "The longer you live in regret, the unhappier you become. At first, you regret the things you did and the... Sign in to see full entry.
