    You too, my friend.

    Exactly what I hoped readers would get from the chapter (in addition to the Everhope descriptions LOL) When facing what may seem as insurmountable challenges, having short and long-term goals can keep us focused on what our next steps should be. The idea of talking to Licoln came from Patrick's brother and I also wanted to show Brad's listening to others and not closing himself off.

    He has an army behind him, so his recovery definitely owes a lot to friends and family. We should all be that lucky.

    It's been over a year since Brad lost his legs, and he's still mending. I think his friends offering support without sugarcoating his situation can spur him to keep fighting.

    I wanted to show how Lincoln is slowly but surely being folded into the group of friends. The fact he's willing to spend time with Brad and offer honest advice proves he's a good man.

    Cussing is acceptable. How about I share a short story on Wednesday and the next Ranger chapter on Friday? At least that may give you a quick fix and help pass the time.

    The Housewarming

    Carlos Hazday posted new chapter in Ranger

    September 2020 “¿Como estás, Linc? Coje a Liebe un minuto, por favor.” CJ’s grandmother pecked Lincoln on the cheek, placed her great-granddaughter in his hands, and spread her arms wide. “Brad, it’s so good to see you. You look well.” Rising from the patio bench, Brad leaned down to hug the much shorter woman. His balance on the artificial legs had improved significantly, but his stance remained a little wider as a safety measure. “Thanks, Aba. You look fantastic. What was it y

    Yeah, sure.

    You're going to enjoy next month's Ask An Author. Put it to bed yesterday.

    Wasn't it Singapore scientists who detected the bat DNA or whatever? Seems selling exotic animals for human consumption is big business in China.

    We're in the middle of a heat wave. Breaking temperature records almost daily.

    Woke up feeling hopeful after watching a couple of reports on promising clinical trials of treatment meds. This keeps playing in my head.

    The Suicide

    Carlos Hazday commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in The Suicide

    Sometimes the idea of something is as bad as actual events. I spend a lot of time by myself, but always have the option of going out. The pandemic has taken away options and that can be frustrating. Go back to the prologue and read Brad's acceptance speech. He acknowledges war is at time a necessary evil. Unfortunately, even when justified, armed conflict causes misery on both sides of the battle lines.

    I'm hoping the next chapter helps dissipate some of that sadness. Brad won't ever get his legs back, but if he keeps focused on the future, he'll overcome his disability.

    Probably. Having friends and ex-boyfriends who served may also account for some of it.

    Late Lunch

    Carlos Hazday commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in Late Lunch

    I've introduced a lot of characters in the CJ series, many of them have played a role in advancing the story. Tony actually preceded CJ and eventually was folded into the same universe. This story, and most of what I've been posting recently, is designed to flesh out the ones who'll continue to influence future events. I dislike abandoned/unfinished stories myself, so I refuse to do that to my readers.

    I don't think those old-fashioned conventions are applicable all the time these days. The reporter's named after a female acquaintance and that's how she spells her name.

    I needed an eye-roll reaction! You're just greedy.

    The duke's definitely a handsome man. Archie has good genes from both mother and father.

    The Suicide

    Carlos Hazday commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in The Suicide

    I assumed there were multiple camera operators so I did not feel bad about making one of them an ass. Because it's a documentary, I went with the idea of him working on one of those reality shows like wives of wherever who thrive on conflict. And I'm with you on the rubbernecking, If I see something as I drive by at normal speed, fine. Otherwise, I'm not interested in seeing gore.

    The Suicide

    Carlos Hazday commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in The Suicide

    Thanks, Wolf. It sounds cruel, but I created Henk just so I could kill him. I tried to set the stage by introducing him early on and showing he was damaged. Intrusive cameras during hard times are a fact of life. Mostly due to the public wanting to see others' misery. As I mentioned before, that little scene was rougher in my first draft. Mann suggested I mellow it out so the cameraman would not come across as a complete douche, but a man thinking about his job instead.
