Look what just showed up on my front porch! Sally Young's amazing "House Painting Number 3" which provides just the right amount of edge, dark energy and atmosphere to my new novel White Flight. Thank you, Sally! Now, if I can only keep the cats...

Their used to be brick factories along the lake here in Racine. After a storm the Lake Michigan shore is littered with them. When I'm not writing I work on my Racine Reliquaries.

The real Axis of Evil. Trump wants them for his cabinet. Sasha (the pooch) has the best shot. She humps her dog bed constantly. Undersecretary of State?

Giving my age away referring to the tagline of the Mikey Life Cereal commercial: "He likes it! He likes it." But this review of Counted With the Dead from Christine Morgan World of Words had me saying: "She gets it! She gets it!"

My wife wants us to get a new one but I think this more suits my mood these days.

I don't know if I'm cut out to be a team player when it comes to writing.
November 26, 2024 at 6:52 PM
Well, I was folding the laundry. Guess I’ll just have to write.
