American Songbook Track List

In the lead up to what is already being called, in our household, The Big Move, I am focusing on editing and preparing manuscripts, rather than writing. This is because it is hard to write when you feel guilty for not packing your life into boxes, and secondly because whilst Cowboy Summer waits for covers and one last read-through, I have no finished the 17 tracks of the American Songbook.   Yes people, I said 17 tracks. There are two tracks "Sandbar" and "Marshallville" which will only be ava

Outsmarted by a 6 year-old

I was babysitting my 6 year-old nephew for a few hours. He watched TV and played Legos while I typed away on my laptop when a new review popped up on one of my stories. I read it and smiled to myself when my nephew suddenly plopped on the couch beside me and asked, “Whatcha doing?”   “I’m answering someone who liked my book.” I turned my laptop and showed him.   “You wrote a book?” He asked.   “Yep, I’ve written several books.” I proudly told him, but he looked very skeptical.   He watch

Unions

Law enforcement should not have unions. Or actually, anyone who works in government should not belong to a union. Our government is a powerful entity. Its servants should not band together to amplify that power. Whenever I read a statement from the Policeman's Union, I perform a translation. The Union spokesman states, in translation, "The accused is guilty of all charges without reservation. There are no mitigating circumstances. There are many other things that have not yet been brought to lig

Lady Galadriel vs. Sauron

Ever wondered what Lady Galadriel said to Sauron as she spanked him back to the East in Peter Jackson's "Battle of the Five Armies"?   You have no power here, servant of Morgoth! You are nameless, Faceless, Formless! Go back to the Void from whence you came!   Morgoth was the mighty evil tyrant of yesteryear, in his origin the most powerful of the angels of Eru and rather similar in many ways to the Adversary of Christian Apocrypha. To learn of Morgoth, the servants of Morgoth, and the V

from "The Big Bang Theory" .. credits words of wisdom

CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #193 Show of hands, during the climactic, face-scrunching moment of the sex act, how many of you out there sometimes find yourself thinking, "Gee, I must look pretty silly right about now"? C'mon, be honest... Okay, I understand. This is a little too intimate for a public conversation. How about if we do it this way: If you're alone right now, just nod. If you're reading this with your sexual partner, simply look at them, smile sheepishly, then, when they smile back, su

Cowboy Summer

So it is that we move into the final stages of editing a novella I wrote, and many of you enjoyed, in 2013. Cowboy summer has since been through the editorial wringer, combed over in fine and nagging details by the lovely Rustle, then nit-picked to within an inch of my life by Kitt. I have lost count of how many times it's been read through, how many times I've stared at the words trying to find errors and fix grammatical issues. Now it is with Vinnie, the man who did the final checks on the pub

Failure

Well 365 did fail for a myriad of reasons. Some out of my control, some totally in my control and some old issues which were brought in to the light due to the concept. So yes I failed but it wasn't 100% and the large goal of pushing myself to mend broken parts and face new challengs was meet. And I think I may try again this year but the approach must be far different.   I think the block for this year is finding a non-baised way to hold myself accountable.

The Top 10 Elements of a Book People Want to Read

This guest article on Writer's Digest's blog is absolutely wonderful! I can't say enough about how I agree with every single point made!   The Highlights:   1. Your words are your tools; make sure they are in working order. 2. Check for inconsistencies. 3. Avoid overwriting. 4. Avoid underwriting. 5. Make sure your characters are more than a name. 6. Show, don't tell. 7. Sharpen that dialogue... 8. ...And expose that subtext. 9. Drive the plot toward your reader's AHA moment. 10. Bu

Music Memories: "Sweet Jane" by Cowboy Junkies

So I thought I'd try something a little different than my "music playlist" stuff. I thought it might be interesting to highlight a particular song that brings back a very vivid memory. So first up...   "Sweet Jane" by the Cowboy Junkies     It's mid-March, 2012. I'm 26 years old. I'm in some non-descript, beat up car from the 1990's(I think blue, maybe black), traveling with two or three other guys as we were coming back from our Spring Break.

Rutabagas

My grandmother cooked rutabagas with bacon and butter every time I visited for lunch, and they tasted great. I loved my grandmother. She was the nicest lady in the entire world. She died of leukemia, but lived a long life, and everyone she knew loved her just as I did. In fact, people loved her too much, and she had to hide from some people. That is one of the problems when you are too lovable. You have to hide from the non-lovables. She did the best she could. I remember she used to tell me to
