A few words about reassessment and continuation…unedited…
Good morning. It’s almost five a.m. here. I am preparing to drive to a neighboring state in search of bookshelves for my library. Sleep eluded me for most of the night, but I’m okay. Yesterday afternoon, I sat at my desk and worked on another rewrite. After failing so spectacularly on A Hot Day Down… Continue reading

Good morning!
The sun is out this morning, after a storm ripped through last night. Torrential rain fell, lightning flashed, and thunder rumbled for hours. I didn’t feel well, so I downed some cough syrup and crawled under my blankets. I slept soundly, but I ached still. Sharp pain shot across my digestive tract, my head seemed… Continue reading

Bad Writing Days and other randomness…unedited…
Good day, everyone. It’s just after six a.m. Normally, I’d post some part of a story I’m working on (like Public Service or Brynn the Bloody) but my mind hasn’t churned out the next part. Therefore, I am writing this hoping it jars loose the next portion of story. Brynn the Bloody came to me… Continue reading

Writing and the Warrior Spirit…unedited…
Hello. I’ve had an interesting experience over the past few days. A murder of crows moved into the area sometime last week. Over the course of the last two days, they’ve fought non-stop with other crows to set the boundaries of their kingdom. Loud caws reverberated throughout the holler. Chunk sat on the porch and… Continue reading

A Word of Encouragement….my last writing of the day…unedited…

Now, I don’t know about anyone else, but sometimes I want to open my finished work and look at the word… Continue reading

Suffocating…unedited…
It’s humid this morning. I’m not even joking. The temperature reads 78, but the humidity is past 90. It feels like someone is shoving a wet wool blanket down your throat every time you step outside. I guess I’ll stay indoors. However, that icky, sweaty feeling reminded me of the world we inhabit nowadays. It’s… Continue reading

Timing…a random musing…unedited…
I don’t normally use images in my writings, but for the purpose of this post I decided to add a couple. These images are from my flowerbeds, and these peonies were the first to bloom into what you see before you. I’ve not worked the flowerbeds this past winter, in hopes they would bloom. As… Continue reading

Good morning…a few words of encouragement…unedited…
Good morning. My dad always brought home a newspaper, and why I’m thinking of this at two a.m. is beyond me. The Hattiesburg American was a staple in our house. Dad would either stop and pick one up or have my brother or I go get him one. The Sunday edition was massive, and it… Continue reading
