I got a lot of stuff done yesterday, despite the problems I had with the latest version of 'Kindle Create.' I'm adding something about the program over in my "Let's Write" section shortly. It's a great program but so far, I've found precious little supporting documentation. It got down to 36 here... Sign in to see full entry.

Amazing enough, 'My Long Road Back ' is already available as a Kindle ebook! That took less than four hours. WOW! Sign in to see full entry.
'My Long Road Back' has been successfully uploaded to Amazon as an 18,000 word novella. It took a bit longer than I had planned because I forgot that with the new 'Kindle Create' program, your e-book must be in an 8"x11" document, and not in a 6"x9" format. I wasted an hour playing with that stupid... Sign in to see full entry.
The 'good' part of today came late last night when the promoter of the race track where we broadcast from decided to call today's events due to rain and wet conditions. Yes, I'll lose some money, but I'll be able to do some serious catching up. I guess that I'm going to have to face the fact that... Sign in to see full entry.

I have to run over to the Soo (Sault Ste. Marie) real quick, but I'll finish posting a few things when I get back. I just posted probably the most frightening thing I've ever written prior to now in my murder story. While this passage was based on a dream that I had, I have heard several men I met...

I may have posted this here earlier (about three months back) but I've been looking for it and I just found it on my Twitter feed. I wanted this quote for the beginning of my story on Hemingway. I had done numerous searches with words that should brought it up, but didn't. I was going back through... Sign in to see full entry.
I had to be up (far too) early this morning to have a MRI and a blood letting where the lab tech took 23 vials(!!!???!!!) of my blood. I asked her if she was just stocking up for some gruesome party later this weekend and she told me that she was, and if I was a good boy, maybe she could get me... Sign in to see full entry.

Just A Song Before I Go, To Whom It May Concern
It's been such a bad day for me today, but as it ends, I'm happy to still be here, warm, dry, and having a place to sleep with my three dogs. You can choose to be unhappy or you can choose to be happy no matter what. My Father was one of those guys who could never just give me a straight answer.... Sign in to see full entry.
It's come to talking to myself lately. I mean.. seriously. Earlier today, I said to myself, "Self." I immediately knew it was me, because I recognized my voice and I was wearing my good underwear. "Today is going to be a good day." While I may have been fibbing to myself because a quick glance out... Sign in to see full entry.

Back From The Rivers - A Photo Display of My Journey
I told ya that I was going to take my babies out for a walk, but it became a swimming event as well. I love walking along the smaller 'Brant Creek' that is in the first photo. It has the same orange-ish water that most of the streams and rivers have here due to the various metal deposits, copper in... Sign in to see full entry.
