Good writing day today. Wrote 2000 words on a brand new story, “Hell By Any Other Name.” Read “Walking Gods” out loud. Tomorrow will make the changes to “Walking Gods” and possibly post. Will try to do another 2000 words on “Hell”. I am not making any guesses for how long the story is. It […]
Finished “Walking Gods” last night. Much shorter than I originally thought it would be — I’d estimated about 20K, but it’s closer to 13.5K. I don’t think it’s missing scenes — just went through and added a couple of sentences that I did think it was missing. I’ve printed it out. Plan on reading it
I’d planned on writing every day in September. That really hasn’t gone as planned. I think I’ve figured out the problems now, and working on correcting them, but it’s really too late to be writing every day for September. One of the problems is that I’m lousy when it comes to an every day writing

I honestly haven’t been online a lot — I’ve been too busy packing, organizing, fretting, etc. I just learned tonight that Joel Rosenberg passed away this month. Joel was one of the first professional writers to take me seriously as a professional writer. I took him out for coffee and he talked the business with

I signed all of the paperwork for the house last Friday. The sellers sign on Monday, funds are supposed to be released on Wednesday, and I’ll get keys on Thursday. I’m taking next Friday off from the day job — not off work, because I will be working on the house. Sunday is the painting

Moving note of this evening: the last time I moved I searched iTunes and the internet for the music I still had on cassette tapes, to see if I could replace the tapes with digital. I failed for the most part. Tonight, I went through this same exercise. However, I was mostly successful. A bunch
I’m not sure when I came to that conclusion, that art on the walls meant home. But I did, and it was quite some time ago. Today’s moving realization: I took most of the art off the walls in my living room. Though the place is still packed with boxes and furniture and such, now
