As many of you may know, I enjoy writing fiction. (No, I don’t include the posts hereabouts in that action. Well, mostly I don’t. Okay, okay; OFTEN I don’t. Satisfied?) My personal favorites include science fiction and action-adventure, but a good murder mystery is a joy to read. I don’t think I have the twisted [...] Read more »

It’s way past my bedtime (it’s always past my bedtime, these days), and I’ve written every word I possibly can today.

However, what most folks don’t know (at least not here [...] Read more » Just a quick update on the day’s progress. Mom came through her eye surgery in great shape. She’ll now have better eyesight than me! On the flip side, I got almost nothing done on the novel. Some Internet research, a couple small scene starters; not much else. The Scorecard: I got started very early this morning, and was on a roll within minutes. Good thing too, because once PJ got going I never got back to the keyboard to produce more fiction.
