Today is National Drink Wine Day. It doesn't start at 5:00 pm ... It's ALL DAY LONG.
So raise a glass and enjoy!
It's also National Crab Stuffed Flounder day - so now you have dinner plans too.

How am I supposed to write when I'm stretching my retirement muscles in a tropical resort town?

Interruptions abound.

Did I mention that in retirement I live on an island? True.

Sadly no clever comments on writing this morning. Instead I’ll share a cute cat pic. His name is Jackson and he’s needs some tasty food to complement his wine.

I grew up in Ray Bradbury’s magnificent Sci-Fi worlds.
This quote gives me inspiration (and a reason to pour a glass of wine). Care to take a sip with me?

It’s pretty hard to focus on writing when vacationing in a tropical paradise. Any tips?

This wins the “best picture I took in 2024” award.

It is really hard to concentrate on writing when preparing to embark on a warm tropical vacation.

Maybe I should write a story about sand, beaches, and beer.

Or ... Maybe I should drink some beer to prep. Vacation rules clearly state that the 'after 5:00 PM' thing doesn't apply.

I'm retired because I can be
I write because I must
Some of my words are brilliant
Most are a bust

I'm clearly not a poet, but if you like quirky insights and observations on writing, retirement, and life, hop on board and join me. Keep me honest and humble. Please.

Writing is weird. I live in WA but every morning when I write my novel I live in New York City. I kinda like it there.

I’m starting a hedge fund. Anyone in?

For the first time in my life, I've had the nervous pleasure of reading an excerpt from one of my short stories - the one printed in the Writers Corner Anthology that I'm holding.
It went well, and I enjoyed the other author's stories too.

So excited! Hot off the press: my first inclusion in a physical book - an anthology of prose and poetry.
Writing is a solitary pastime, but a ray of sunshine like this is empowering, encouraging, exciting.
Now, back to work...

Okay, so I had dinner with a friend who said cute pictures of Christmas cats would earn more likes and followers than boring stories about writing.
This is a test to see if he's right.

Yesterday I finished a fairly complex essay I've been working on for 3 weeks, and took a walk to celebrate. This is what I saw. Think it's a good sign?

Great sunrise inspiration to start the day. I think I’ll write.
