Swinging for the Fences & Other Musings

It looks like it's been about 16 years since I've written a blog here. I guess I'd forgotten they even existed. So, I'm back writing again after about 20 years, with my second complete novel, Swing for the Fences. Chapter 20 will be released on Saturday morning (August 23rd). After that, only 25 more chapters to go. The chapters in this novel are much shorter than I'm used to writing, hence the large number of chapters.  My next novel, which I have almost completed, Medellin, will only have

The Prompts are back!

A few months ago, I encouraged authors to try writing a collaborative story. No one took the gauntlet. Now, I read about taking down the site by writing a collab story. Should we try this again? PT #299   Write a collab story. a) Discuss alternately about an anthology theme. b)Two or three people go to a party. Write the story from their perspectives. PT #300   As a nod to the upcoming anthology: The MCs lie on a blanket in the park, watching the sky.

Pushing past the PTSD I have from applying for jobs as a post-grad in Great Recession America.

So I started the job application process to try and get started on my paralegal career.  I'm not going to lie. I haven't applied for jobs since 2015 and I'm trying to break into a new field. It's really hard not to think about the three years I spent trying (and failing) to break into the museum field when I got my master's degree. In 2015 I finally got real and started working a retail job I've been in since, save for the lost COVID year. Going on the advice I've been given, I'm tryin

Why Shoot the Doctors?

On Friday 8th August, a gunman opened fire on the offices of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in Atlanta, but it barely seemed to make a ripple in the news. The British media seemed to ignore it. Why disregard this horrendous attack? Bullets hit the buildings and shattered windows, causing CDC employees to hide for their safety as over 500 rounds were fired at their workplace. In this hail of gunfire only one person died, that is still one person too many. David Rose, 33

Weekly Wrap Up!

Wow! What a week of the ever so popular Secret Author contest, I guess we could call this SA Week. We found out who was connected to which story  We also found out the winners of the most popular story from Readers and Authors. Congratulations to @impunity and @Thirdly respectfully. It turns out that Thirdly didn't write all of the stories 😮 I guessed all of them were written by Thirdy . At least I got 1 right  Just before posting my guess, I noticed the rules about only one story per author. I'
