Now, The Usual Stuff - Including the Bad Joke

Good morning. It's looking to be a beautiful day, topping out at ~92. It was a strange night here last night. On the eve of the Fourth, and so far this morning, we haven't heard a single firecracker. Last year, it sounded like an artillery zone, but it's been absolutely silent so far today. Weird.... Sign in to see full entry.

My "Other" Story - Now Officially Titled "The Porch Light is Still On"

Better Than Music Chuck didn’t play the guitar. Not really, but he had always dreamed he had learned how when he was younger. He’d owned one in college and had learned just enough chords to impress girls. On nights when he had over-imbibed, he could fumble his way through “House of the Rising Sun.”...

988 and A Pathetic Joke

This is a direct pull from my FB page. Every Friday night, I make a post that says if you are struggling and need an ear, call me. Last night, I made this post: Some... okay... a few of you... ask me about my typical last post on Fridays. Some ask me why I do it, and fewer still ask me if I receive... Sign in to see full entry.

As Long As I Am Up... Here's Today's Romance Story Segment

I'll explain later after I get some rest. V Things You Don’t Say Yet Chuck was early. Not by much, maybe ten minutes, but enough to catch Marcia in that strange in-between where you’re ready but not composed. Her sweater was still in her hand, and her hair was twisted into a knot that looked more... Sign in to see full entry.

Good morning. As has become the norm here, I begin to make my various posts here, and the phone rings. It's in the mid-80s right now, but we're looking at 90 again until about 3 pm, then? More rain. I was reading an article on the website of my first and current publisher, once again, about writing... Sign in to see full entry.

Small Talk and The Love Story Continues! (And Another Bad Joke!)

Good morning. We had a series of light rainstorms overnight, making for a soggy backyard this morning. We may get a few more shortly. I've been busy editing the nine short romance stories and novellas. I had intended to post another substantial section of that story here last night, but I received a... Sign in to see full entry.

Was It Prowlers or A Deer? Can Fruits Marry?

Good morning! I'm not sure what had the dogs attention last night, but they were uptight about something going on outside. Some nights, I look out the backdoor and the backyard will have a dozen or more deer. It's crazy, but they will eat the bowls of dog food clean! We typically discourage barking...

Since The First Part of the Story Was Well Liked, Here's the Next Part!

This begins right where the first part left off. V New Hours, Old Fears Chuck didn’t expect company. Saturdays were his laundry-and-grocery rhythm, nothing fancy, just the quiet kind of productive. So when he heard the knock on the front door, followed by the unmistakable jingle of his daughter’s... Sign in to see full entry.

The Story Behind the Story I Posted Last Night & of Course, a Joke

I posted a large chunk of a romance short story I am writing late last night. It's done, I'm just cleaning it up now. I think I have about seven such stories that aren't a rewrite of each other, that are all slowly being moved from the "EDIT" folder to the "EDITED" folder. They typically average...

A Few Thousand Words (2866 actually) From A Romance Story I Am Writing

Opinions are welcome! V PS: I don't use 'bad words' in any of my stories that I don't think absolutely, positively need to be there. Criminals don't often say, "Golly, gee whiz, Bob." I hope ya get my drift! LOL Chuck and Marcia Early Shift, Late Thoughts For the last eleven years, Marcia Finley’s... Sign in to see full entry.
