In Shadows

Just can’t seem to get into it. I put out 2022 words yesterday, finishing chapter eleven of the Iditarod story and creating a full character sketch of my MC for On Azrael’s Wings. I suppose I’ll work on character sketches today at Coffee People. I’ve got to get out and get some […]

I have a friend strapped for cash. She's a spectacular author (and some of you reading this will know how I'm telling it true!) If you've any doubt, go to her web page and pick out a story or two to read.

My vehicular ignorance is coming to the fore in this story. When training a team of sled dogs during the summer, a driver hitches them to an ATV. I have NO expericence with ATVs and the only motorcycle owned was a teeny 350 Honda for about two months.
If you ran dogs in this […]

The owners of a small bison herd near Flagstaff were surprised Saturday morning to find one of their rare white buffaloes had given birth to something even rarer: a white calf.
A white […]

My Mac Classic (OS9) won't accept it. My Dreamweaver program is OS9, so I have to type everything I want on a web page in a separate text document in order to cut and paste. What a pain. I guess I'll have to go in to OS9 somehow and see if I […]

(And to the cousins in England . . . remember, you need multiple copies or someone needs to stay AWAY from the bathtub. […]

Another night of coat check. It’s mid May. Total guests for dinner: 650. Total coats collected: 14. Talk about a time waster, huh? (We’ve even got a function on the 26th of May with a coat check.) I’m estimating tonight’s tips at $12. Split six ways with my […]

I work today, so I'm not working on the Iditarod story. I'm aiming to finish a chapter a day on my days off (like I did last week) as far as the novel is concerned. It'd be about what I'd write anyway if I slaved over it on a daily business. And, […]

2071 words, and another chapter bites the dust! YAY! Three chapters in three days totalling about 7k words.
Today’s the big birthday. Yesterday my dad sent me money, and I bought 9 books from Powell’s tent sale at Pioneer Square. Today, my wife gave me a Borders gift certificate, so I picked […]

1774 words and another chapter done today. If I finish a chapter tomorrow, I'll have made my goal for the week.
Powell's was having a tent sale downtown. Got lots of great books on the cheap.
Saw the movie Donnie Darko last night on HBO. Good gods, that was fantastic! I'm […]

Been a busy week at work. Somewhat busy with writing. That and some major distractions courtesy of NetFlix.
1523 words today. I’ve finished chapter 8 of the Iditarod story. I’ve got the next three days off, so my goal is to get a chapter a day. I’m about a quarter of […]

Reading friend's journals and came across someplace called Half Price Books. Looking up the nationwide locations, I see quite a number in Texas. Who the hel do I know in Lewisville? Why does that ring a bell? Nonny? Or Jean? Anybody?
Oh, yeah. 2203 words total today. Too […]

Ah, yes. Coffee People again. I get a lot of amusement there.
Her stance is one of wariness. Shoulders hunched, she carries the weight of more than the laden backpack. Eyes glance left and right, searching for danger, though her head remains down to indicate intimidation.

Her hair is short, spiky, bright red. She wears […]
