The section in my 'cancer' story that I just posted is what I call a 'pivot piece.' It gets me from one place that needs addressing, but not pages and pages to a place that does need pages and pages. If you read it, I am open to criticism of structure and necessity. If you see something that is... Sign in to see full entry.

My neighbor had car problems this early this morning, so I had to go out to rescue him. It looks like he hit a pot-hole in the road a bit too dead on and it broke something in the suspension. Lucky him! LOL I did manage to get a nice shot of a small wandering creek that apparently was warmer than... Sign in to see full entry.

Try This On For Size

I got thinking about the cover for the story and couldn't let it go. What do you think of this? I'm trying to keep it simple, beautiful, causing one to think beyond the hospital room. This is what happens when I get too much time on my hands. Sign in to see full entry.

Potential Book Cover?

Kabu had commented that the swamp photo I posted earlier today would make a good book cover. I may go back out that way at the same time of day and try to get a cleaner shot. Although I haven't posted an update on my 'cancer' story, I've advanced it considerable with the proper research I need to... Sign in to see full entry.

It's Monday, but because we didn't race Saturday night, it will be a better than normal Monday. It got down to 44 last night here in Yooper-ville. The big joke in the area is that summer always comes late to the UP. This year it happened on July 18th. They aren't far off with that joke. This is the... Sign in to see full entry.

We haven't been able to play near the river lately because of visitors in the area, but this morning, the dogs were playing and swimming just like they usually do. I have to make a trip over to...

If you read my last murder story, you'll recall that I wrote about the killer in the story had developed a 'blood lust.' No one here. but several people in my beta-reader list as I went along told me that they didn't believe that there was any such thing as a 'blood lust.' Here is proof of what I...

The last status update I got on my friend's wife was 'not much change.' She is still unconscious and unresponsive, something that does not bode well. I'll keep you posted. The temps here in the UP have fell into the mid 70s, but down state, the oven remains on. The races have been canceled and other... Sign in to see full entry.

I know that many of you are in the grip of a huge heat wave. I have sad news to report. A friend of mine from Reed City, Michigan called me about an hour ago to tell me that his wife (~35-~40) had decided on her own to take a bike ride just before he got home from work. When she didn't get home... Sign in to see full entry.

Eh, let's talk about the weather. It seems that it will affect me heavily this weekend. Forecasts for Yooper-ville (A Yooper is someone who lives in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.. an UP'er... Yooper in the local parlance.) say we will touch close to 90 here today. I lived in Florida for nine... Sign in to see full entry.
