I've screwed up my ordering on my newest writing effort. While I will get it straightened out, this is the problem of a 'sausage factory' assembly of writing. Due to the fact that I decided to write this story in segments and that as I was doing so, I wasn't thinking properly, my tentative assembly... Sign in to see full entry.

Busy Day Details & A Joke
It twas a busy day. I spent too much time on the phone with two potential clients for my broadcasting system to do much effective writing. I'm positive that I'll land both clients, but after over three months of not being able to write, I would have rather have been writing. I heard on the local... Sign in to see full entry.
The Obvious
A long time ago, my Dad told me about his '5 x 5' rule. For the longest time, I lived by it. Then I got a little bit sidetracked, which led me down some confused paths. In the past few days, I've begun to re-center myself and remember Dad's rule. 5 x 5 Rule: If it’s not gonna matter in 5 years,... Sign in to see full entry.

Taking A Perspective Look At My Life
It looks like another nice day out. Wednesday find us taking a dip down from these temps in the mid 30's to highs in the low to mid 20's. That's a far cry from the highs of -3 we had a year ago. I can take these temps without crying too much. I don't know why, but I woke up about 4 AM and there was... Sign in to see full entry.

Working For It
I'm working on some real emotional stuff right now, and a response by Sea Gypsy made me find a three minute Thai ad and post a link to it. Let me explain why it hit me and then give you another video to watch. This first video, titled ' Unsung Hero, ' was something that came up in my YT feed several... Sign in to see full entry.
Blather... Endless Blather... An A Joke
Not to brag or anything, but by the time I shut everything down last night, I had written over 7,000 'good words.' My definition of 'good words' are what is left after I run it through Grammarly and Typely. Just as some of my posts and responses get long, I am constantly being told by Grammarly,...

Crikey!
I've been writing on and off all day, and I'm happy to tell you that the writing dam that I had built after 'the incident' has been officially broken up. I'm going to call it a night for my writing, but after nearly 100+ days, I have recored over 4400 words today in a proper novel. I had weeks where... Sign in to see full entry.
What I Did At School Today & Another Stupid Joke
Good morning! Sorry about the delayed entries. I've been doing 'instructional talks' at the local library every other Saturday on 'the process of writing a story.' Today I had seven adults present. I talked about how each chapter had to have an arc whose ending must help the next chapter to build... Sign in to see full entry.

A Biology Lesson and A Joke
I eventually fell asleep last night. I'm sure exactly when, but I feel like a well used dish rag. Oh well. It's supposed to warm up a bit today, reaching roughly 30, a pleasant deviation from the temps in the mid teens. I've had my regular 'spartan breakfast' consisting of a bowl of mandarin...
