Just Thinking Again

I threw myself back into writing and as I listened to the music play list I use when I am writing 'dark stuff,' I added another 2000 words into "A Haunting." I'm at about 12,000 right now. I was thinking this might make 20,000 words or so but right now, I have my doubts. This story will probably... Sign in to see full entry.

Home. I'm not sure what the test results are yet but soon... hopefully later this week. A sincere thank you for the get well wishes. V Sign in to see full entry.

The Long and Winding Road

I just posted a 'double dose' of "A Haunting" over in my fiction blog for two reasons. First, I am (knock on wood) about a week of postings ahead of the story. As I've said five time here, I'm having fun with this. This story came out of the blue and I have no idea of how it will end. My evil little... Sign in to see full entry.

Odd and Inspiring

Interesting day. I'm about to call it an early night but today was extremely productive. As I've previously blathered, I found a story that gave me an idea for my next (hopefully) full length book. I spent a good two hours contemplating that story plot to the point I've come up with a working name... Sign in to see full entry.

Keep The Moaning To A Minimum

Coolish day here. Not bad for mid October but it's definitely not June here. The wind is moving a steady 20 to 35 mph, making it less pleasant. It's coming from an odd angle, giving the house an odd moaning noise. Perfect for writing a spooky story! Sign in to see full entry.

Exactly The Same But Different

I like watching some of the old time television shows such as the "Twilight Zone" and "Alfred Hitchcock Presents." I was 'binge' watching some of the Hitchcock shows from 1955 and 1956 and saw a plot I liked. It was based on a story written in the late 1940's. I got thinking about it and I think I...

Relentless

I was talking to a friend of mine who is also a writer and she brought up the "relentless schedule" you have set for yourself. She tells me that if she gets 500 words a week into one of her novellas, it is a good week. I reminded her I 'make myself' write 800 to 1500 a day. She thinks I'm crazy but...

Playing The Waiting Game

Well I got the email saying my story, formatting, and cover had passed tech and Amazon allowed me to order up to five copies of the proof copy. They say I'll have them on Wednesday. My last concern will be the quality of the book. Just as a test, I've started another in behind the first one. Maybe... Sign in to see full entry.

Does This Dress Make Me Look Fat?

Another very productive day on my latest story here. I'm not sure if I should be happy or upset that I am 4,000 words into this story and am just now beginning to get to the spooky stuff... another 750 words or so from now. One must set the scene for the reader but I didn't plan on being nearly... Sign in to see full entry.

A Robot and A Haunting?

With racing and my race reporting career now done, my weekends are my own, I've got to spent a lot of time writing on my newest offering, "A Haunting Of A Small Town" and a book for my youngest grandson Johnny, he of "The Darkness" fame. It's odd to be writing about death and destruction in one... Sign in to see full entry.
