Not Dark Yet

I've always said that music and its writers have influenced my writing and my life. I was working on a story and without even thinking, I had my character singing a song to himself. He was in a dark part of his mind and the song reflected that world of darkness. As I re-read the new writing, I... Sign in to see full entry.

Rainy Days And Mondays (Tip of the Hat to the Carpenters)

Well, my NaNo has hit 2850 words. I was hoping for more, but I'll take it. I can do better, I've just been busy around the house. I forgot I hadn't pulled in all of my outdoor hoses and such. Once I did that, I had to drain the pipes associated with the hoses that went outside. No sense in replacing... Sign in to see full entry.

To Be Continued...

I was up late last night working on my 2017 NaNo and managed to get the first 1500 words on 'paper' and hope to get at least that much more yet today. I have to leave home for a couple days early next week, so I have to average about 2500 words a day to make room for potential time missed. *Sigh.*... Sign in to see full entry.

Nostalgia Hits Me

So far, we have picked up a little more than an inch of snow. The dogs love it. I was just outside with them and giggled as I watched them turn their faces to the light wind we have and smile as the snowflakes hit their faces. I have three dogs. One is a small Dachshund type dog that weighs about 15... Sign in to see full entry.

Dogs, Creepy Kids, & The Neighbor

If I hadn't been outside playing with the goofy dogs this morning, I wouldn't have spoke with my neighbor. He told me that because we are looking at 'significant snow' tomorrow, they are moving the Halloween 'holiday' to this afternoon. I had had enough candy, but my weekend guests lowered my supply...

You See Officer, It All Started With A Knock On The Door

We had accumulation of snow totaling about an inch last night with the temps falling to about 22F. Thankfully not much wind. It's supposed to be about mid 40's the rest of the week, with the lows about 30 or so. That's your weather report, back to Big V for the rest of the news around his place. "V?...

High Waves Mean High Danger - A Real Story w/ Video

Earlier I wrote about the high winds and such around here. This YT video was caught on the Black Rocks on the shore of Lake Superior near Marquette, Michigan about 50 miles from my home. This young man was pulled out, but there is 'rumor' that another couple was swept off the rocks in the same area... Sign in to see full entry.

Exciting Times With The Weather

We have had storm that just keeps swirling overhead and I am reading where Lake Superior is having 25 FOOT tall waves due to the high winds. During the night, I know I woke up several times with my Internet cable box beeping that it had lost power and was beginning to run on its battery backup. It's... Sign in to see full entry.

Go West Young Man!

I had to make a trip to Germfask, a (very) small town twenty five miles to the west and south of me to see a man about a story I am working on for publication next spring. I really enjoyed my visit with him and I just know that I will be back to talk with him again. Besides the story and other... Sign in to see full entry.

There's A Storm A-Brewin'!

I was working on cleaning up some notes when I happened to take a break to walk the dogs out for a few minutes. A look toward the western sky drove home the fact that we have a big thunderstorm rolling in real quick. Off in the distance, I could hear the faint roll of thunder and I know it will be...
