computer screen, and just about everything around me. However, today is day 1 being tobacco free. Thats right, no more cigarettes…ever. But, just a little secret…I REALLY FREAKIN want one…badly.
So, I have reviewed now four authors on reviewfuse, decent enough work, no shining gems in my opinion though. And no, yours truly does not believe his is a shining gem either.
We have finished our little pumpkin, we call him Mr. Fang…take a peek.


All righty then, time to drift into dreamland. Enough dribble for one day.

So, I went out searching for a writing contest to enter. I have found two, and entered my rough draft of Chapter one to one. The other needed an entirely different story. So, I buckled down and knocked out 3035 words in one afternoon. Only to realize that I missed the due date by one day. So, I have a 3000 word short story with no home. So, I need to find it a home…quickly.
Things completed in Fiction – Short Story completed. One contest entered. Gave reviews to two authors on their shorts.
Things completed in real life – Groceries acquired for the week.
Up next – Pumpkin gutting. Oh..joy.

Well, the writing didn’t happen today. Sister called, all up in arms about her finances..so it was a fire that I was called on to put out. However, I should have a goodly amount of time to devote to DRC tomorrow.
Things accomplished in Fiction – Zilch. However I have joined the ranks of the truly insane…

Things accomplished in real life – house cleaned, dog bathed (thankfully, he smelled..well, like wet dog), laundry completed, and budget balanced.
All in all a fairly productive day in real life…tomorrow…need to get sustenance for the household, then..DRC devotion time. Wish me luck.

Yes, it has been 6 months since my last post. And, unfortunately I have very little to show for it in way of writing progress. I have found Authonomy and have created my account there, and have designed pretty much the cover of my book…if I ever finish it. Also, I have settled on a name..thanks to suggestions from my wife. But as for story line…it needs some brush up. I noticed the voice is completely wrong, as is the narrative. Will be going back in to clean it up then push on sometime today.
Things to do in Fiction – Clean up voice and narrative. Finish Chapter 3. Update outline.
Things to do in real life – Must get house in order..ewww, but only a few hours..then I can be back here.
Things accomplished in fiction – Started reading Boneshaker by the talented Cherie Priest. Started anew on Dark Rogue. Current stats

Where I'm at so far.
Things accomplished in real life – uh…hmm..yep. Time to get to it.
