The Tragedy of Tragedies
When catastrophe strikes, we try to think how to prevent it in the future. The problem is, nothing can prevent tragedies. It is a part of life that we have forgotten in a civilized world. The first thing we try to do is explain why something like this happened. Why did a wildfire take out thousands of…

Are Vacations Worth It?
Sometimes I wonder if vacations are truly worth the effort and time. There is nothing like pausing your life to have some fun. I enjoy not thinking about every day life for a week. Then when I get back, I am cursing the very vacation I was praising. For example, I have over 500 emails…

What Day Is it?
I know I have stated many times that I have been very busy. Some things are starting to calm down. In a week, the cows will be taken to the butchers. That is a good thing as the basement project, although finished, has put me in the hole a bit. The Amanai Resolution is done…

Done’ish
The Amanai Resolution is on paper. Editing should be done soon. The book cover is scheduled to be done on June. I have to admit that I am excited the story is concluding. I think this has evolved nicely from the first through the third. I would be worried about what to do with my…

Through Chapter 26
I have through chapter 26 written in The Amanai Resolution. I only have a few more chapters until the story is on paper. Editing has been going on with the earlier chapters, so I am confident the book will be done by the end of summer. It has been a couple of weeks since my…

Editing Started
Even though I have yet to finish the entire book, editing has started on The Amanai Resolution. I am hoping to finish the last ten chapters before the editors finish their first rounds of editing. I guess I had better quit writing these posts and start writing the story! Too bad things like jobs have…

Done! Sort of…
The basement is finally done! It ha been a long, three year journey. It was three years ago that we first requested a quote/bid on the basement. I never did get the final number for a quote, but I know I could have bought a couple of cars for the amount spent. That part does…

A Good Day
Today has been a good day. The sun it out, and it is not too hot or cold. I had plenty to do outside, and I got everything done I set out to do. Yes, there is always more to do, but I am satisfied. The only thing left for me to do is finish…

Next Steps
The Amanai Deception has only been out for a few days, and I am already writing chapter 20 on The Amanai Resolution. That milestone might seem impressive, but I assure you, it is not. There has been no editing, and I have not gone back and revised any of the early chapters. The story is…

Productive Weekend
Saying this weekend was rough is a bit unfair. It was a good weekend, but it was packed full. Most importantly (to this site anyways) was the completion and publication of The Amanai Deception. That was huge for me. The school work was time consuming. Two short papers and reading a chapter takes a toll…
