Go Ask Alice...

Whew! I was given a new medication this morning for a heart defect I've had since about 1998 and they told me it 'could make me feel funny.' If 'funny' was the right word, this med makes me feel 'hilarious' because I couldn't stand up for a few hours. While I think the med is making the cardiac... Sign in to see full entry.

Bing Me Again

Not to double post in this area today but I wanted to share an idea. Annicita made a comment about adding 'lucid dreaming' to my "Just Dreaming" story. I went to Bing... I never use Google... found the info I needed and realized that while I already had plans to use it, I hadn't used the term in my... Sign in to see full entry.

Sleepless in Suburbia

I think I've mentioned I was working on another serial killer story behind my 'dream' story earlier this week. I was having a sleepless night last night, drifting in and out of sleep when I suddenly startled awake. I knew the 'body' of the story but hadn't yet figured out how it would end... until I...

Operator? Are You There?

I've been unable to get online the last 30 some hours after a major car accident that took down about half a mile or more of Internet cabling. We maintained power simply because the cables giving us power came in from the opposite direction. Houses to the west of us were without power for about 18... Sign in to see full entry.

Please Help Me, I'm Falling...

I'm working on a novella about a serial killer based on a composite of about three guys I knew while working in the psych ward of a major prison. This is set in 1988 and the gist of it is the killer calls the cops and tells them where he has placed the bodies of his victims. He is a homeless man... Sign in to see full entry.

Resolute Resolutions For 2016

I've pondered exactly what to say here on this final day of 2015. I know I'll want to add something or take something away shortly after posting this but I'll just leave it. May the new year be all you hope it to be. V 2016 Resolutions A) Write an average of 1000 'usable words' every day. My old... Sign in to see full entry.

It Pays To Vacuum Sometimes

A busy day today. The Christmas tree is down, ornaments put away, the carpet was vacuumed, and everything is restored to normal. I got an email that the special fish I wanted will be available soon, I'll work to finish my 175 gallon aquarium set up. This will allow me to start my section on tropical...

Do Not Watch This Video

I'm not sure how many of you will be able to watch this video and, should you decide to watch it, how many might wish they hadn't seen it. There is no violence, no vulgarities, just a truth that only those "in the business" understand. This video was a reality done for a speaking contest of some... Sign in to see full entry.

'Relax,' I'm Finally 'Dreaming'

If you are reading my latest fiction offering, "Just Dreaming," I need to give you a small update. I had to go back and do a complete re-write of the first two paragraphs of Chapter One. When I went back to check on a small technical detail, I discovered I had completely botched the opening. I'm not... Sign in to see full entry.

Let It Snow

The wind began to come up about 7AM this morning and we are just seeing the first flakes of snow go flying by the windows. We are still with power but in watching the local news/weather, I see a small but growing number of local power outages. The wind is predicted to escalate to roughly 30 to 35...
