Ol' Roosters Life and Times

Now that I have the go ahead to write some stuff for the magazine I have been doing just that............writing. I have spent a fair amount of time gathering tidbits of information for my articles. I have to do more research, but I have begun to write the two shorter articles I have been tasked... Sign in to see full entry.

My meeting with the editor of the magazine went very well yesterday. I will write two articles for the upcoming issue, but they will be small. I will have a longer article or maybe two in the issue after this one. So I am happy and excited. We will have to hammer out a few details and such, but I am... Sign in to see full entry.

I am back in Texas right now. Tomorrow morning at 10 am I have a meeting with the editor of a local magazine to write for them. I have sent some preliminary work. I was called this morning early and they liked what they saw. So I am back in Texas for the meeting. This just might possibly be the... Sign in to see full entry.

At the first of the year the mounds of rubble and rubbish were strewn about our farm like giant anthills. After three weeks of working hard we are making some real progress toward cleaning the place up. This is not an easy task. We have extra help now and it’s still a big job, but it is coming...

I did not write over the weekend. I take some days off from all forms of writing every now and then. I rejuvenates me. Also, I have a habit of wanting to keep streaks going. And it begins to bother me every now and then. I will look back and find I have written for many consecutive days. I get... Sign in to see full entry.

We have had some nice days as of late. We have not had any real cold mornings and our afternoon temps have been in the 60’s and 70’s for the most part. This is some real nice weather for this time of year. It allows us to get a lot done on our little farm. It has not rained much, but that is fine.... Sign in to see full entry.
