Lord, Save Me From Stupid People

I belong to about a dozen 'writing groups' and some are very active and others are sound asleep most of the time. Sadly, this post is typical of these so called 'writers.' If you can't figure out how to kill off a character, you might want to find another hobby. I want to kill off a character. (It's... Sign in to see full entry.

It was 50 yesterday and now we have a 'winter storm warning' in the middle of April. Hurray! I've got a number of projects that require my immediate attentions, so I'll keep this short. My murder story is about to explode, but I can't work on it properly with the number of distractions I am... Sign in to see full entry.

I went up to Lake Superior and walked along some shoreline just to clear the brain matter. It may have been 46 outside yesterday, but the 'gentle breezes' coming off Mama Superior made it feel more like -40. Still, I was dressed for it and I hung around for about two hours. This week starts some... Sign in to see full entry.

Ebook Sales Last Week

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. Attitude, to me, is more important than facts. It is more important than the past, the education, the... Sign in to see full entry.
