I just posted another 3,000 word post over in "I Remember Judy - A Love Story." I smacked out 9300 words yesterday, and as soon as the mood hits me to write, I'll finish that story today and have it on the Amazon market by Thursday. As it sits right now, I have over 84,000 words in it, about 20,000... Sign in to see full entry.

I couldn't sleep last night and I stayed up until about 4AM writing. When I went to bed, I had logged about 8900 words in my novel about my wife. If nothing stupid happens today, I'll finish it. I'm just shy of 82,000 words. now. I started this project in mid February. Even if I say so myself, this... Sign in to see full entry.

I just posted another 2800 words into my story about my wife. I know it goes against 'conventionality' here, but I've never been conventional. I've been writing that story in 1800 to 4500 word chunks, and crossed the 70,000 barrier last night. I never really intended it to be that long, but as I... Sign in to see full entry.

Hmmm. I guess the formatting issues I had using my cell phone have followed me home to my desktop. I did my normal 'copy & paste' and the words fly all over the place like leaves in a fall gust. I guess too many years working on college newspapers (back when college newspapers were actually worth... Sign in to see full entry.
As my grandfather used to tell me, 'another day, another dollar.' Maybe he said 'another dime' as the wages weren't that good back then. I'm feeling better than yesterday and may consider walking out back with the dogs as they play. I didn't get a lot done yesterday, but as I said last night, what I... Sign in to see full entry.

It's Enough
A good first day home. I didn't accomplish much, but it was a good day. Any day you get up, interact with people, and do what you need to do to live, is a good day. I tried to write, but I barely was able to squeeze out 800 words, so I put it away. There is tomorrow. Odd. I've made it to another '... Sign in to see full entry.
Thank You. Sincerely... Thank You
I slept a good eleven hours without moving much. I woke on the bottom of a mass 'puppy pile,' with all three dogs on top of me. I think they missed me. Thank you all for the words of support. Every team needs its cheerleaders, and I am happy that you were mine. I didn't tell anyone on my FB or... Sign in to see full entry.

I made it HOME! The dogs were ecstatic to see me, and I'm sure that just like the band, I'll be having a "Three Dog Night," whether I'm cold or not. Good night all! V Sign in to see full entry.

If nothing goes stupid, I will be home tomorrow evening. I was alone all day, ate a small pizza, and wrote over 4500 words in my current book, bringing its total to over 64,000 words. I've made a few friends here during this intense, yet brief stay. I can't help but remember that old saying, "Life... Sign in to see full entry.
Sometimes I use what I write here as part of a mass email I send out to friends and some family. I did that with last nights entry (the one immediately prior to this one) and got a snappy, impertinent reply when I got back to my room (for what looks like the rest of the day! Wooo hoooo!).
