This is the lead-in for my latest novel. I need to wait a week or ten days, and then do another read through on it to be sure the obvious errors are cleaned. I sent a big chunk out to my best beta reader, and she found two small glitches that were easily fixed. Read this plug for the story and tell... Sign in to see full entry.

The one thing I dislike about Mondays is the number of calls I receive - seven so far this morning - before nine. I owe no one any time at all, so I get up when my body tells me to. Some days, that's before eight, but some days, it's much closer to ten. If I get the sleep I need, I'm ready to go the... Sign in to see full entry.

Space Aliens Blurb
Good morning. Yesterday, I inquired about the idea of reading a science fiction story about space aliens. I received a few comments about it, so here is the skeletal version of the first few chapters. I was writing for 'concept,' not 'content,' at the time. Let me know if this sounds interesting...

Are You Into Space Aliens?
Good morning. It appears that the bug that kept me on the sidelines has run its course, and I feel reasonably well this morning. I am thankful for that. I've been trying to put together a story about 'space aliens' who come to Earth to study the creatures of the blue planet. I've had a few dreams... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. First things first. I'm feeling much better. I'm still not 100%, but it's a rare day when I do absolutely nothing. A very rare day. For now, I'll take 'better.' Second, I just posted "Episode Fifty" of my story, "That Russian Guy Down The Road." When my chapters run between 850 and... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm feeling a bit under the weather (and we are expecting rain soon) so I'm posting this from my bed on my cell phone. I hope by resting a bit longer and staying warm, I'll shake this off. I suspect the roller coaster temps have something to do with this, but the yearly sweep of flu is behind it.... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm not sure if we had a full moon out last night, but the whack-a-doodles were out in force. Between two people, I received over 45 emails between midnight and 7 this morning. All were begging for money. The problem with helping people like that is just like a drowning person; they will drown you... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. After another (Florida) cold night at 41, and 50 right now, it is supposed to be 80 today. I can handle that. Ever have one of those nights when every weirdo you know calls/texts/emails you? I had at least six people trying to contact me to 'borrow a few bucks' after 1 am. If it was an...

I'm off to a very late start today, and I apologize. I almost forgot I had to run to Valdosta for blood work. I arrived exactly when I was scheduled and still had to wait 35 minutes. Eh... life, ya know? Reminds me of that old song, " Monday, Monday " by the Mamas and the Papas. It's much cooler... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. We are under a severe thunderstorm warning and a tornado watch. The power has been on and off intermittently, which means I'm not going to fire up the computer. It has been raining extremely hard here for several hours and shows no sign of letting up. Once this storm front passes, I'll... Sign in to see full entry.
