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...

A Nuisance Is A Nuisance
While I'm feeling considerably better than yesterday, I've got a headache that insists on disrupting my thought process. I've done my daily dog walks and obtained my self imposed bare minimum word output and now I think I'm going to sit in the dark for a bit. After my closed head injury back in the...

Ick
I don't want to say that I am ill, but I darn sure don't feel right. I've probably contracted some of the flu that was floating around 'down south.' I don't normally get flu symptoms real bad, I just feel weird, almost a 'Twilight Zone' feeling. I've done my dog walks, my writing, and some work on... Sign in to see full entry.
