Thanks to the drugs, I slept more than I was awake yesterday. During my medication addled mind, I came up with a new entry for my "Let's Write!" column. I feel better but not good. Still, we persevere. It got down to 22 degrees last night. Lovely weather. I'm going to shower to attempt to wash some... Sign in to see full entry.

The Nightime, Sniffling, Sneezing, Coughing, Aching, Stuffyhead, Fever, So-
I've 'officially' hit over 25,000 words in my NaNo and have it verified. I've managed that despite this horrible flu like cold I've been fighting off. I've spent the morning working on it and hit the spot I needed to stop and I did. I'm gonna grab a NyQuyl assisted nap and I'll be back! PS: The... Sign in to see full entry.

Thank You Dr. Greene
I was working on the epilogue of "The Totally Unnecessary Death" and as usual, I had a string of music playing real soft in the background. A song I had originally heard on the television show "ER" came on and something that apparently been suppressed all of my life came bubbling out. The clip (in... Sign in to see full entry.

Just A Note
Between my Nano, which is going better than I ever thought, and this horrendous cold I managed to get, my work here is a tad curtailed. It is finally letting up some but I could barely breath there for a day or so. I think I've hit over 12,000 in my NaNo and am rolling along. Talk soon! V Sign in to see full entry.

Paul Simon Had It Right
I was always a big fan of the "Funkel Brothers, " Paul and Gar. That's a play on their last names, Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel. I heard them in concert back in 1971 or 72 and the guy beside me kept calling the "Funkel Brothers" and the name stuck with me all this time. In this 1975 solo album, Paul...

People of Earth... Some of Whom I Can't Stand!
Ahhhh... people who stop by unannounced and then have to have the local cops to get them to leave... I swear. I had a couple of 'old friends' I haven't seen in about ten years that just 'stopped by' about 10AM this morning... which is also my current prime time to write. After lunch (on me) and six...

Sunny With a Slight Wind!
Another beautiful day, the temps hitting a lovely 74 with a steady breeze of about 15 mph or so. Tomorrow is supposed to be slightly cooler and bring a lot of rain, but that's alright. I got a total of 2293 words in for my first day of the NaNo. I always have trouble getting rolling on a story, but... Sign in to see full entry.

A Cold Start
Wow... it got down to 27 here last night. Just two days ago, it was 75 or so. So turn the days of our lives. Allegedly, it will get to 55 or so today. Yippie! Tomorrow, I'll start my 15th NaNoWriMo with full expectations of exceeding my goal. Clean up will go from December to February! LOL I've got... Sign in to see full entry.

Mini Vacation
Yesterday was a beautiful late October day here in mid Michigan. In fact, it was so nice, I did virtually nothing in any of my writing projects, a rare day indeed. It was about 76 or so, really nice when you consider it is a 'balmy' 44 right now. I need days like that now and again and I imagine... Sign in to see full entry.

Critical Eyes
I have a bunch of little things I need to do yet this morning but wanted to say 'thank you' to the folks reading and commenting on my story. Someone (Annicita I think) caught the fact that all of a sudden, this guy was married but I had never mentioned the transition from boy friend/girl friend to... Sign in to see full entry.
