My Weekend Potpourri For You

Don't let my racing fans know this but we have a decent sized thunderstorm moving in from the west and the possibility of 80% showers all day Saturday and I am hoping like crazy we rain off. It's not that I don't like the racing but I have been running in five different directions lately and could... Sign in to see full entry.

Now That's Dreadful!

I was talking to a very old friend of mine and I mean old! She is currently 102 and only a few days from being 103 and appears to be picking up steam. I was at her home and was reading her some of the stories I've written, something she really loves. I told her how I post them here in small bites... Sign in to see full entry.

Taking A Moment to Clean The Dust From The Corners

Between writing for hire and writing for myself and working on the final stage of my new office, I've been busy. I added about 1600 words to "The Touch" and about another 1000 or so into my hired work. We've got about another ten sheets of paneling to add to the office and the ante room of the...

Whew... What A Day

Got down to the nitty gritty dirty stuff today with the new website. With any luck, I can show it to all of you tomorrow. It's not a complicated site but it has a lot of small details I want to make sure are right before the doors open. My other, admittedly crude, website was selling about $20 a...

It's Dusty In Here

We've made a lot of progress on the new website. With any luck at all, it will be done some time Wednesday afternoon. The basic frame work is up, just need to add all of the fancy stuff. I have another gent that is a fellow writer that wants to put some of his own stuff up there for sale. I'll... Sign in to see full entry.

Cleanin' Up My Mess

I'm updating my author website to give it a fresher look as we edge toward the 'reading season.' I use it to sell pdf's of my work, CD's of my audio books and actual paperbacks. I haven't done much to keep it looking good for over a year, I was just adding new novellas. It was getting sloppy and I... Sign in to see full entry.

A New Rhythm

HA! LOL. I found it! I had written something that I wanted to use for the story I'm working on now a year or so back and I couldn't locate it... but tonight... I was watching something on Roku and it hit me that I had FTP'd that file up to one of my servers. I paused the show for a minute, thought... Sign in to see full entry.

Aliens and Birthdays

Whew. Another weekend with a ton of sports reporting stuff to do but I got the jump on it this week. My mind was off my normal writing stuff so I spent that 'wasted' time getting a lot of my normal weekend writing done early. It's almost 2 AM EST (New York time) on Sunday morning and I have...

Expensive Legal Stuff

This is going to be an off week for me. Between the power outage we had, I have to be in court like three times over the 'estate' of my wife. Despite having joint title to everything, they still are making me go to court to make sure everything was 'legal." I suspect the real objective here is to... Sign in to see full entry.

Good Grief, What A Week!

Late Sunday night, we had a sudden power outage. It only lasted about 45 seconds but when it did come back up, it came up minus power to about half the lights and outlets in the house and no water pump. Hmmmmmm. A friend of mine own an electric repair company and they got there late Monday. He was... Sign in to see full entry.
