  • Chapter 14

    Chapter 14 is finally done.  It was a short chapter, so it shouldn’t have taken that long, but the last few days have been busy getting the pool ready and sharpening the blades on the finish mower.  Since writing is not my day job, I have to make sure my day job and the property…

  • Chapter 13

    Chapter 13 is done.  I am almost halfway done with the planned number of chapters, but that could easily change.  It is one thing to plan out a book, movie, or even an email.  It is another to be in the middle of writing and realize the direction you were going to take in the…

  • Chapter 13 and a Half

    So, I am only halfway done with Chapter 13.  It is not for a lack of trying, but life is busy.  I thought I could knock the book out this past winter, but I was too busy cutting wood.  I barely had enough time to take piss breaks.  I thought the spring would give a…

  • Busy-ass Weekend

    It has been one busy weekend.  I am sore as hell, but it will be nothing compared to tomorrow.  Literally a day before winter hit, the basement flooded because of the French drains at the footers.  It was a blessing in disguise in more than one way.  Firstly, it showed we had a major water…

  • Thank Rain For Chapter 11

    I actually found the time to write Chapter 11.  It is much easier to write when the weekend tasks are complete and the rain is pouring down outside.  It looks like it is going to rain a lot for the next couple of weeks, so I might actually get some more writing done in that…

  • Chapters 8, 9, & 10

    Well… Chapters 8, 9, & 10 are written.  There are spurts of time where I am free to write, but they are not very often these days.  Keeping busy, keeps me fit.  I cannot say I’m really fit, but cutting up trees and doing physical labor makes me fitter than if I were just sitting here…

  • Chapter 7

    Chapter 7 is in the books, but Chapter 8 is slow going.  It isn’t that I don’t know what to write.  It’s the fact I am about brain dead from endless hours of meetings through the day, or I have a lot of work to do outside (like cut wood) and am physically too tired…

  • Chapters 5 & 6

    Chapters 5 & 6 are pretty much done.  I’ve started chapter 7, but cutting wood all day in sub-freezing weather and being around sick people has taken its toll on me.  Cold medicine has clouded my mind so attempting to write any more right now would end up in a bunch of mumbled words and…

  • Chapters 2-4

    Chapters 1-4 are on paper.  That isn’t to say they’re done.  After the entire book is on paper, I’ll go back and start the review process.  It is a rainy day out, so maybe I can get chapter 5 on paper.

  • Well… It’s Started.

    So, I started actually writing the next book.  I had the book all planned out, and I was going to start writing a month or so ago, but that never happened.  I don’t know why time seems to go faster when it gets dark earlier.  The holiday time (Thanksgiving/Christmas) seems like a whirlwind of craziness. …
