I still feel for crap, but I did manage a short addition to my new story. It isn't a lot, but it does move the narrative along. It was my intention to add at least 800 to 1000 usable words a day. Today was about 325 words. Who's counting, ya know? LOL V Sign in to see full entry.

Ehhhhhhhhh, I feel so less than good. I'm not sure if it is a a bit of the flu, the after effects of getting my second flu shot ot just plain, "I hate to see Winter get here" syndrome. I am so dizzy that going down my steps to my office is an adventure. Just for giggles, I'm going to lay down for a... Sign in to see full entry.

Pitching The Story
Another semi-decent day on tap, and I have to run over toward the Soo. While I'm not wanting to drive today, it is a beautiful 80 minute one way trip. It will give me time to think about the next few pages of my newest effort. My fingers know what they want to write, but my brain is saying, ' Not so... Sign in to see full entry.

Another busy morning. Five phone calls, a long email exchange with my tech partner about a server issue where something had caused one of my websites to revert back to September 10th, erasing over 50 video files. After we discovered exactly when it happened, we were able to revert it back. Now all I... Sign in to see full entry.

It's always something. A 'friend' I haven't seen in over ten years was here in the UP and had car trouble. He made a post of FB about needing help, and someone told him that he was about five miles away from me. Joy. Someone called me, and like the idiot that I am, I went out to pick him up. It took...

It's a nice day outside, if your definition of a nice day is 43 degrees with a 'light' breeze coming off Mama Superior. I've been finishing off the outside work that needs to be done before the snow sets in soon. I think I have all of the windows 'winterized' to keep the wind from just blowing its...

THIS... Is Great!
You may not see it the same way that I do, but this was a true story that occurred to me in 1975. Where you hear the name 'Todd,' insert my name instead. I've listened to three hours of new audio tonight. Far and away, this thirty minute read was the best of the bunch. He gave me the exact pauses,... Sign in to see full entry.
I've added another 2000 words to my new story (hurray!) and spent two hours getting my narrator to get a small error in an audio book fixed. It's a good thing that he worked cheap. He finally fixed it, but I think we exchanged at least twenty emails before that happened. Then I listened to... Sign in to see full entry.
I can't describe the feeling of euphoria I felt going to bed last night knowing that I've found my writing mojo again. Yeah, I know that sounds hokey, but when your main reason for living is writing, it means that you are taking a deep breath of fresh air again. In the past twenty-five years, I...

I am on my way to being able to write again. I added another 2300 words to my new story, and I'm to the point where now I can really begin to write the story. The first 1500 words or so are always the hardest for me. Once I'm beyond that, the story takes off. In this story, I needed to 'set the... Sign in to see full entry.
