New Desk - Same Guy - Will The Magic Still Work?

A friend of mine bought me a really nice used desk at a second hand shop and then helped me set everything up in a new room. I'm not sure how this will work but I have to get started again. The old desk will be burned on the night of the Fourth. As I began to think about writing again, I spent my... Sign in to see full entry.

Words Fail Me

Well. I'm back... again. This is gonna be hard for me so bear with me. I don't just pop in, write some and then decide to pop away on purpose. The day after my last post, I went out to pick up some branches after a big wind storm. My wife, freshly 60, was playing a card game on my computer when I... Sign in to see full entry.

Day Is Done

As the Memorial Day weekend rolls to a close, the sun finally breaks out from behind the storm clouds as the family prepares to go its seperate ways. While I didn't get much writing done, it was nice just to talk with the family. I hope your weekend was well spent. Regards, V Sign in to see full entry.

Be Well This Weekend

Looks like a nice spring day here in western central Michigan. As I sat down to write this, family is pulling into the drive and the dog is going goofy. With our family being both medical and military in background, we will soon wander outside, swap tales about things medical and military. I wish... Sign in to see full entry.

Writing and Walking.

I am trying to get back into a steady routine of writing daily again and it's getting better. I have another story that is beginning to take form that I will be posting here shortly. I just need to get it to its knees. I spent part of this day outside. It was only about 54 here today after an 85... Sign in to see full entry.

Good Bye Dave! "Dave" is Done.

Wow. As I told Kabu, I found the right mood, the right space in my head, the proper quiet, and I managed to put a total of 5844 words together to finish "Say Hello to Dave!" tonight. Phew. I am sincerely glad that I got this story out of my system. It haunted me back then and since I started writing... Sign in to see full entry.

Slowly I Turn...

While it was cold, blustery, and damp here, it was also quiet here. I found myself able to slip into my character with relative ease, a very welcome situation. One of the lingering effects of my stroke has been certain words elude me. Normally, once I 'assume the character,' my hands take over and... Sign in to see full entry.

Reading, Writing and 'Rithmatic

I wanted to start posting again Saturday night or maybe Sunday but some of the simple things in life don't always come back as quick as we think they will. I'm working on my "Say Hello To Dave" story and I must have stared at the last paragraph I wrote some 60 days ago for a good five hours.... Sign in to see full entry.

I Guess I Wasn't Ready To Go Just Yet

It's been two months or so since I was last here but it hasn't been due to a lack of interest on my part. The last time you heard from me, I had developed a pneumonia that had led to a good sized blood clot on my lungs. Naturally, as has been the story of my life, if there is a 'more scenic path' in...

Bloody Clots Anyway

Sorry about the absence and afraid it may go on at least another couple days. I began to feel worse and worse and finally saw my doctor. Good thing I did. It seems I had developed a medium sized blood clot on my left lung which could have proved fatal. I am hospitalized for at least one more day. I... Sign in to see full entry.
