It is that time of year. Smoked a ton of cheese. Wrote a chapter. Good day.

I like this framework…among the others I have taped to my wall, watched on Masterclass, read in articles and books…etc Short and simple. What about you?

The #Hawkeyes crush the spirits of the Huskers after another collapse…! I feel warm inside.

Yes? No? Maybe? The growth of Indie publishing…?

Interesting chart on how to approach word count goals by famous authors. I don’t do them. I write when I can and feel good when there are more words after than when I started. I don’t want to feel bad if I don’t “make my goal.” You!?

This hawk is taking the definition of "bird-feeder" literally. "I'm a bird, so feed me, and thanks for putting out all that seed and stuff so I have a choice for my dinner."

For my book “The Spy Devils,” I had a “kill or be killed” moment. No choice but to fight to the death. It was brutal. People ask me how I wrote it…I stare back blankly. Same with torture. I don’t do graphic sex scenes. Maybe I SHOULD worry.

Many times, I was sure the FBI would knock on my door. ...How does arsenic work? How do you arm a drone? What is the best sniper's rifle? How do you make a bomb? How does money laundering work?...etc...

So this happened. Finally finished the #firstdraft of my next thriller (non-espionage). A long way to go.
