There are two kinds of people in the world. Those who make New Year\’s resolutions and those who don\’t. I am one of those who does. Sure, a lot of them get broken, some even before the end of our annual New Year\’s party. I don\’t, however, get carried away with them, like the famous…

The date on this post should be yesterday. I wrote it and blogger swallowed it whole. Oh well. Ben Franklin once said, They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety. You can go ahead and skip this if you\’re not in the mood for politics.…

Well, I added a couple new things to the ol\’ blog. I like the nifty quote at the top and yes, it does change every day! Too fun! Then, because of all the spam bots putting weird comments on my blog, I had to turn on the word verification. Another site I like to visit,…

I actually wrote this a few weeks ago, but the ol\’ blogger system was too bogged down to post it. My main character, Jane, found her new life motto while shopping in the Lack\’s furniture store. Huge red banners hung from the rafters. \”No interest until 2007,\” they proclaimed to anyone who would look up…

And that means NaNoWriMo is over and life will assume some normal routine that doesn\’t depend on writing four thousand words a day to \”Catch up.\” Finished the thing, with about sixty five thousand words when all was said and done. Does it need work? You betcha. Lots. But not until January. But for your…

And a novel starts with the first sentence. I\’ll playing with it, but here is the beginning thus far… Rose Franklin found out she was conceived out of wedlock in the Walmart parking lot. Not that the actual conception happened there, but for some reason, her mother decided to reveal Rose’s history at the Navasota…

\”A good story often reads so easily that civilians seem to think that the darn things write themselves. Whenever I leave the house, I make sure that one of my novels is hard at work. I expect five pages by the time I get back.\” – David Morrell I mean, don\’t you. I feel like…

A few years ago, like almost 20, I spent my summers working in the kitchen at a well know youth ministy\’s Colorado Ranch. It was at the time, a perfect life. I worked in the summers and avoided the scorching Texas heat. My regular job was only budgeted for nine months a year, except I…

….And I think I\’ll be okay with that. I got my new catalog from Quality Paperback Book club today. The sheer number of adjectives and adverbs used to promote books is mindboggling. I\’m thinking of suggesting a rationing program. Conserve adjectives and adverbs, save some for future generations. The gushing reviews are so \”stunning, dazzling,…
