I had to break up my overly long post in my murder story. I'll post the second part of it tomorrow. I found a natural break in the storyline, so I chopped it right there. I'm almost to the action points. It's been killing me to have to return back to various points in the story to make sure the... Sign in to see full entry.

Writing To Word Count
It snowed. Again. It won't last long, but I'm ready for some green scenery right now. The one good thing about today is that it is Friday, leaving me to only hack out my three weekly columns for the various newspapers. One needs ~605 words, one wants ~ 483 words, and the other one will take whatever... Sign in to see full entry.

For those reading my murder story, I need a new name for it. My original intention was to focus on the crime as did the original killer, but I've changed my mind. He tortured his captives for nine days before being caught. While it is my intention to include a week's worth of being held hostage,... Sign in to see full entry.
I was sent this by of all people, my doctor. He told me that he wished that more people had my attitude on Life. Attitude “The longer I live, the more I realize the impact of attitude on life.

This likely to be a quick post and run day for me. I have the make the 300+ miles trip south to Lansing and then 300+ miles back in just a few short minutes. I should be back about 7PM. I hope. There is a possibility that I'll end up staying down there and head back in the morning. I'm not big on... Sign in to see full entry.

We picked up roughly an inch or so of fresh snow last night. Thankfully, it is supposed to touch the mid forties here today. It could be 75 and I'd like that even more. I didn't sleep well at all last night, and I'm not quite sure why that happened. No particular worrisome thoughts or problems, just... Sign in to see full entry.

Plot Set Up Explained
I had a busy day yesterday despite doing little to nothing. I was watching the baseball game (Detroit Tigers vs the Toronto Blue Jays - The Tigers won in the 11th inning!) and was so elated that I flipped on the computer and began to work on my murder story. If you read the last two entries which... Sign in to see full entry.

After what we've been through the last few months, you'd think that a low of 'only' 10 degrees would be nothing, but I most certainly felt it last night! The wind coming in off Lake Superior was ferocious, giving us a wind chill of about -15. It is supposed to abate tomorrow, and then be steady in... Sign in to see full entry.

Updates
I'm back from my trip. I wanted to spend more time there, but the wind off Mama Superior was sharp and bitter. It felt good to stand near the falls and just listen to the roar of the water and see the beauty that surrounded me. I feel better. For those reading my murder story, I noticed that I had...
