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. I've mentioned... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm going to relax today and spend most of the day under the trees outback. The dogs and I enjoy it, and it gives me time to think. We are headed to about 100 degrees today, so vigorous activities of any kind aren't high on our list. I've given thought about setting up the BBQ grill for later this... Sign in to see full entry.

Just Me Yakking

I have an appointment with a neurologist who specializes in the treatment of Parkinson's today at 4 pm. That would be alright, except the place is ~150 miles away... or about two hours there... and two hours back. Add in the time waiting in the outer waiting room, then the time waiting in the exam...

Part Nine - The Custodians Thomas Mercer had spent most of his life believing history belonged to everyone. He often told people, ‘That’s why courthouses, archives, and old paper mattered.’ History was supposed to be available and preserved. It needed to be shared, but somewhere between Ruth...
