We have had and not had power here over the past 18 hours. I don't like having a Word program open when it is quite possible that the power will go off, so I've not got a lot done. It is currently 15 degrees with a 25 mph breeze and a lot of falling and drifting snow, making life wonderful all the... Sign in to see full entry.

I was awaken early (far too early!) this morning by a persistent odd ringing on my cell. I couldn't figure out what was going on, but realized that it was my Skype app sounding off. One of my English friends was having trouble getting his Sunday morning program started and said he had 'sent me at... Sign in to see full entry.

Some days, it pays to pay attention to what you are doing. Actually every day, but today would have been a good day. I sometimes set up multiple browsers to do my writing for this site so I can I write in them and then post them all together. I did that today and just as I was getting to submit...

Another day, another fifteen cents. Here is my last few days in a nutshell. I had sent multiple stories off to be narrated and added to my Audible list. It's crazy on how people approach this narration business. Some will get right on it, and you'll see a new entry every day or at least three a... Sign in to see full entry.

A Special Rewrite
I'm still having a problem working on stories that require some emotion and naturally, the two stories I have in queue both rely on a heavy emotional input. I tried to get back to working on my 'Caretaker' story, but I couldn't get anywhere with it. I've done some of the didactic stuff where I... Sign in to see full entry.
I had to get up early this morning as one of my broadcasters wanted me to be on their radio show. We talked about my writing and subjects of the day. It is about 18 degrees this morning with about seven inches of new snow on the ground. The dogs love it. I'm not quite as sure. The roads are super... Sign in to see full entry.

Slowly making my way back to what passes for normal in my life. I'm usually quite 'unshockable,' but to say the least, I was. For now, I'm remembering something my Father used to tell me when I was young. Courage. Some have it. Some find it. Some exemplify it every day. Sign in to see full entry.

A personal philosophy of mine since 1971. If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out or sing in your writing, then don't write, because our culture has no use for it. - Aneis Nin Sign in to see full entry.
Baby, it's cold outside! The temp is about 30, but 'feels' more like 20 according to the radio guy. I'd believe that. With hunting season getting closer, we have changed our walking areas. I'd prefer to walk in the forest than around the lake, but I've been shot twice now. What's that old... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm back, almost completely full time, somewhat maudlin, but back nonetheless. My father always told me that in order to walk, you have to first at least stand up. This is me standing. I don't want to be walking just yet, but I know the price of remaining seated. My brain began to think about things... Sign in to see full entry.
