The Surveyor Who Refused to Erase a Line

The Surveyor Who Refused to Erase a Line Thomas Mercer left Professor Benton’s office carrying nothing more substantial than a legal pad filled with hurried notes, yet it felt as though he had been handed something far heavier. As he eased his truck onto the two-lane road leading back toward... Sign in to see full entry.

Darn!

We have been getting on and off severe thunder and lightning storms passing thru and I don't dare to leave my good computer on during a storm... More story tomorrow. Sign in to see full entry.

Just Me For A While

It's been "one of those days." Endless phone calls, people dropping by unexpectedly, and our little dog managed to slip his collar and made me run about half a mile... and the Weather Channel says it is 94, with a 'feels like' of 118. Normally, I wouldn't believe that... but today... as The Monkees... Sign in to see full entry.

Just Me... Let Me Ask Ya Some Stuff

I've read about how Stephen King writes in various articles and interviews, and when his book "On Writing" came out, I bought it right away. As usual, he blathered about HIS political thoughts and how stupid anyone who thought differently was. I have no idea why you would deliberately irritate half... Sign in to see full entry.

New Story Post... Very Little Chatter From Me

I'll be back to add some details for those of you who are still actively writing... in the meantime... more story. The Map Beneath the Map The basement smelled exactly the way Thomas expected old archives to smell. Dusty, old cardboard with a hint of mildew, and paper that had spent decades quietly...

I just wanted to point something out in the story I am posting. First... I haven't written tomorrow's selection yet. It is there in outline form, but it's far from ready to post here tomorrow. I'm going to 'sign off,' but keep working on my latest novel, "Different Hands on the Elephant - Different... Sign in to see full entry.

Ads -

I've been using ads for my stories in X (the old Twitter) and on Rantingly, a new version of the Drudge Report. Yes, it is a political site, but as far as I know, people smart enough to read the news, no matter which way they lean, still buy books. I used to talk with Matt Drudge way back when, and...

Another day, and another blistering hot day coming. It's about 75 right now, but we are on our way toward 100 again, with about 100% humidity. I'm not usually big into getting up 'early,' but even with a fan and air conditioning, it's too uncomfortable to write. I'm managing to stay one episode... Sign in to see full entry.

Me & Then Part Ten

A quick glance at the weather projected for the day sums the day in one word: HOT. Ehhh, it's Florida. I'm trying to get some writing done before the oppressive heat starts rolling in around 11 this morning. The story is moving along pretty well, so I've got that going for me. I'm not sure where...

While it is supposed to be hot and humid again today, it won't be as bad as yesterday. That's small consolation in the heat, but sitting outside, under the trees, is still a nice way to spend the day. The dogs dig pockets in the dirt, and snuggle down into the dampness of the ground.
