For The Love of Classical Gas

I was sitting here working on something and listening to both Sirius-XM and some music on You Tube, and suddenly realized that both were playing the same song, a mere half second off sync. It was "Classical Gas" by Mason Williams. Most people don't recall the guy or maybe even know who the song, but... Sign in to see full entry.

Seems I've irritated a few people here. I had time to cruise through and leave some comments and I find at least four people whose page gives me this note. It's not a problem for me and I don't take it personal. I look at it this way -those who block me are the ones with the issues. I don't write... Sign in to see full entry.

And Then Winter Set In

Like a line from some old television show... maybe like 'The Rifleman,' I look at the sky and I can envision a young boy standing beside his Father and tell him, 'There's a storm abrewin' Pa!' It was 54 and raining here at midnight last night. By the time I finished the dog walks, it was 33 with a... Sign in to see full entry.

Rainy Days & Mondays (Tip of the Hat to The Carpenters)

Besides the fact it has been raining hard all day, it has been a weird day. I was looking for one particular story file and found one that had been stuck in the wrong file and thus, it has been missing for a while. Naturally, once I opened the dumb thing, I had to read it and make some more notes on... Sign in to see full entry.

I have some company going to stop by here in a bit and thus will be occupied for at least the next couple hours. I hope all of you have a good day. Thanks. V Sign in to see full entry.

Just A Heads Up

I sent out a pdf version of a story I had just revised and almost immediately, someone asked me how do I convert my Word files to a pdf. You can buy software that does that or you can do a couple, sometimes three in a short period of time by visiting this website. You upload your file and within... Sign in to see full entry.

Intensive Mode Weekend

Another productive day yesterday. I came to terms with someone on a writing project and I think I hit a total of 6200 words. I finished one project, leaving me just one that is driving my thoughts for today. I think I can get it done this weekend if all goes well. It is 45 here just before noon. The...

Yes Master!

I got a lot of writing stuff done yesterday and if nothing goes stupid, I'll get nearly as much done today. In three different projects, I managed to put down about 8,000 words. Two of these projects were novels and one was a 750 word article I did for a small old home town newspaper chain. I think... Sign in to see full entry.

Me and Buster.. and Brutus... and Hannah

Today is off to a much better start than I have had in a week or more. It was a 'pleasant' 35 here this morning and the dogs all seemed to have a smile as we walked the block. No sign of the headache that plagued me for a couple days and my fingers seem to be hitting the right keys as I begin my... Sign in to see full entry.

The John Man Calls

If it weren't for unexpected company today, I would have accomplished a whole lot more than I have already done. Some friends of mine sent me a text message about 9AM this morning about the time I was suiting up to walk the dogs. They asked my street address, and being the blissfully ignorant sap I...
