It's the middle of the week, and I think other than a quick trip to the Post Office, I'm going to relax a bit. I've been working on the new situation in the basement and last week alone, I wrote over 30,000 words, edited well over 35,000 words, and still managed to take my dogs out to the various...

Just Wondering
I am a firm believer in the phenomenon of "second sight" and premonitions. I have a storyline using that belief its base premise. Yes? No? Don't be stupid? Why am I here? Guide me Blog It Ville residents. V Sign in to see full entry.
I didn't sleep for diddly-do-dah last night. I'm not sure why, but my brain was off somewhere after it entered in a Temporal Lobe wrestling match (or so I imagine... it wouldn't be the first time.) I'm not sure if it won or not, but I feel kind of 'blah' this morning. Add to that, it's beginning to... Sign in to see full entry.

Amazon's New Reporting Style
Amazon is in the process of changing their reporting style for book sales. I think I like this style much better. Last month, I sold 356 ebooks. Prior to this graphic, I had to do a lot of researching to see what was selling and what wasn't. Imagine my surprise when a book ('My Long Road Back,' the... Sign in to see full entry.
I Guess I Drank Too Much Vinegar
One of the reasons I post my stories and books here is to spot errors as I go. I write at about 80 words per minute, and I am almost always am writing a story line on the fly. I don't do the 'outline' thing. Never have, never will. My brain cranks this stuff out as I go. I realize that this is a... Sign in to see full entry.
I'm trying to get back to a more 'normal' routine the past few days, but it seems that 'normality' eludes me at every turn. Maybe it was just the migration to the basement that has thrown things in the wringer for me, I'm not sure, but nothing has been consistent for me except my writing. I guess if...

I finally finished up the edit job I had to pull on the 'Ralph' short story. It was bad, amateurishly bad. As I ran it through Grammarly, I was getting scores of high 70's and low 80's, with some terribly goofy errors. Normal first run on Grammarly gets me scores between 88 to 95. I actually had a...

This weekend has been an odd sort of time. I started to do one thing yesterday, and ended up far from home and accomplishing nothing. It's looking to be a 'decent' day here in the UP, the temps hovering right at the 32F or 0C temp level, giving me rain one minute, sleety snow the next. Other than a... Sign in to see full entry.

Well crap. Today got out of hand early, and I am just getting back home. I had a lot of plans for this day, and I've acheived exactly none of them. It's been a relatively 'nice' day, all things considered. I think it got to about 36, but it's rained... well misted.. on and off all day. Tomorrow is... Sign in to see full entry.

Dippity Doo Da
Wooo! It's 34 right now. Buster has been in and out of the house at least a dozen times in the past 20 minutes. He likes to lay in the snow and watch the comings and goings around the neighborhood. I have to go downtown shortly. I found a new printer listed in a local website from a woman who lives... Sign in to see full entry.
