Yeah, Yeah, Yeah... I Know

The things that have happened to me since just after Christmas have been amazing, scary sometimes, but amazing none the less. I've said I'd be back about three times but each time, my brain or my circumstances said... 'not yet big boy, not yet.' I found myself able to write up to 200, 250 words at a...

...and the Beat Goes On... With Apologies To Sonny Bono

My new found spare time in the spring is allowing me to do a number of things I've always wanted to do, but was always tied up doing sporting events. I 'retired' last year from following a race track and a couple race series, and along with it, I retired from my weekly columns in several local... Sign in to see full entry.

Which Turkey Is Chicken?

The turkeys in the woods behind us are getting extremely vocal as they prepare for mating. It is FINALLY getting warm here and early this morning, I saw two Tom's in a fight dance vying for the followings and affections of about fifteen hens. Their cries and screeches as they tried to scare one... Sign in to see full entry.

Some Reflections on Life

I spent the morning with extended family at the funeral of my brother-in-law and my mind is flooded with thoughts. This thought process got started last Saturday morning when the family met with the funeral home director. They had the minister who was going to conduct the service on speaker phone...

If Not For This One Thing... Excuse 719

I mean to get back here on a regular basis but every single time, something comes up. Some are good and some are less than good, but they continue to come up. I guess that's why a routine is a good thing. Once out of my writing routine, it has been crazy difficult to get back to it. It's not that I... Sign in to see full entry.

I Tell You This To Explain That!

Just for the record, I feel better tonight than I have in the previous five years. and I am improving every day. Although it isn't showing up here (yet), I am back to writing every day. I got inspired on another story and as long as that flame burns, I'm sticking with it. Tonight, I re-watched the... Sign in to see full entry.

Blathering Personified

After complaining to my personal physician long enough about 'phantom pain' in my wrists and left fourth and fifth fingers, I was given Gabapentin, (AKA Neurotin) a 'nerve' drug used by those with fibromyalgia and other such afflictions like my situation with chronic neuropathic pain. Mine was... Sign in to see full entry.

Writing For Selfish Reasons

I subscribe to a lot of online writing sites and I see tons of articles about 'making money writing for this XYZ website!' Yeah... about that. While this article isn't that bad, it does have some salient points. Grammar is highly important in getting a job and other things. I once got a $3500... Sign in to see full entry.

Let The Writing Begin... But First, a Screed

It's quiet here, something very unusual, and I'm going to sit down to finish "Just Dreaming," but something else came to mind that bugs me. Over the past five months or so, I've run various stories through Amazon's Marketing Service. I sold about 350 copies of "The Darkness," a story that came to... Sign in to see full entry.

A New Goal

Crazy stuff lately. A weekend ago, I sincerely sat down to finish "Just Dreaming" when I spied another story I have been working on for literally four years now. I made the 'mistake' of opening that folder and began reading some of the sections of the book. Darn it. Long story short, I found a... Sign in to see full entry.
