Late Nights At The Computer

Sorry about all of the late entries. I had to take care of a bunch of business today that wasn't mine to do, but because I'm the proverbial 'nice guy,' I did it anyway. A day that started with a foggy morning at about 43, saw a steady rain fall about ten in the morning. Naturally, the temps began to... Sign in to see full entry.

Dreaming of Paradise (Michigan That Is!)

I was up until almost two AM last night going through all of those old notebooks. A lot of memories, good and bad there. I've got thirty plus new story ideas perking and now entered into my computer and uploaded to my servers for future use. I'll be moving to my new home in May next year and the way...

The 2 PM Soap Opera Starts Here!

In further review of the 'treasure trove' of notebooks I found over the weekend, I found some very interesting things about my childhood that I had forgotten. Bear in mind that this 'diary' thing started when I was six or so. The first dated entry was for October 8th, 1959, but there was at least... Sign in to see full entry.

Astounding History Found - Story At Eleven!

It's been a nice day. We (the grandsons and I) spent some time walking the woods, heard a small flock of turkeys just beyond our paths. No matter how often you see these birds, it is always amazing to watch them move. I think I told you about finding a locker box of old manuscripts, well, I also... Sign in to see full entry.

It Is Finished - Again

A fairly cool day today, but everyone was gone and never being one to waste a quiet day, I added about 6,000 words to "The Totally Unnecessary Death" and have finished it. I have to write to epilogue yet and I have to go through it again, but the story is now complete and I'm quite happy with it.... Sign in to see full entry.

More On The NaNoWriMo

I may have created a lot of interest in the NaNoWriMo (or as most call it, 'NaNo'), but I think I must have created a bunch more questions, which is a good thing I guess. Let me start with the basics as far as they have always been, subject to change for this year. I don't think they have changed,... Sign in to see full entry.

Chance

Instead of writing all evening, I started watching a new show named "Chance" over on Hulu. It won't be for everyone as it has rough language and violent criminal activity, but holy crow, it's very interesting to me. It's a psychological thriller that is quite life like. I don't like most current... Sign in to see full entry.

Goodnight Mrs. Calabash, Where Ever You Are! (H/T Jimmy Durante)

Doing better today. Thanks to all that commented well wishes. I've had a long history of eye problems, so it was nothing new to me. It's not be a 'fun' issue, but so far, it has always worked out. This slows down some of my other projects, but I've got at least 4500 words of my current story ahead... Sign in to see full entry.

Here And Gone

I woke up after several hours of sleep this afternoon, something definitely not in my wont. I decided I could at least copy and paste the next chapter of "The Totally Unnecessary Death" and call it a night. My vision is fairly decent right now, and I don't want to strain it. Now I'm going to bed!... Sign in to see full entry.

There's No Place Like Home
