Whew. Long day. Besides writing, working a broadcasting system, playing semi-pro photographer, occasional columnist, and caretaker for three dorky dogs, I'm also doing some repair and additions to my house. I have help coming up here in the next few days to give me a hand renovate my garage,... Sign in to see full entry.

TIMBER!
Buster and I decided to make another trip out to the big river (the Tahquamenon River) to look for pieces of obsidian along the Brant Creek, seen in the background here. It is much wider than it looks, it's just the angle of the photo. The creek is about 15' feet wide right there and about 20" deep,... Sign in to see full entry.
A beautiful day in the neighborhood to be sure. It's already 45 and climbing. We have the possibility of a heavy rain storm moving in, but I'm going out to toss some fertilizer and some grass seed on the back yard to see what we get. I slept the best I've slept in over six months last night. I'm not... Sign in to see full entry.

I know that I have told you folks this, but this is like the old days here where I am writing what you are reading just before I post it. Be it 400 words or 2900 words, I'm writing it, running it through Grammarly, and then posting it. That's what makes it fun. Sign in to see full entry.
The 'Interdimensional' tale grows. This particular little recall issue was something that happened to me in one of my own OBE's. Not to the drama level that this one was written, but I recall being in two places at once, and I remember both positions and both events from each side. You take small... Sign in to see full entry.
I just used the 'butterfly effect' in one of my stories. I had painted one of my characters into a corner where it was impossible for him to do something I needed him to do by virtue of another part of the story said he was elsewhere. So I went back, changed his trip agenda and updated his status.... Sign in to see full entry.
Whew! A good night of sleep intermingled with all kinds of weird dreams and 'thoughts.' Both will contribute to a good day of writing. 'Interdimensional' is coming along nicely and during my dreams last night, I finally figured out why the killer in my next murder story is murdering people. The... Sign in to see full entry.

Back in the late 1980'/early 1990s, there was a television show titled ' Quantum Leap, ' that I vaguely recall watching once or twice. I wasn't a fan, I was caught up in my medical career and my sports and political newspaper columns, and I didn't have time for 'flights of fancy' crap. One of my... Sign in to see full entry.
Whew. Enough of the raking. I'll finish it tomorrow, I promise. I did take one break in between raking tours, and managed to bring down about 400 words. The story is there, but I found that I still have to sketch out just a bit more of the path. I know where it goes, I just have to finish the rails... Sign in to see full entry.
If it gets as warm as they predict (55), I need to do some more raking in the back yard. I'm almost done, but I 'almost' got done last year, but I never finished it. I don't want to stop like that again this year. My plan is to rake for a bit, come in and write 500-750 words, and then go back out to... Sign in to see full entry.
