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

    I frequently call myself a hermit. I rarely go to bars any longer so when people see me around they're surprised. I barely drink but plan on getting sloshed when they reopen.

    A friend came by yesterday and we shook hands. Considering I'm single and live alone, I'm starved for human touch. I' a hugger. I'll continue social distancing but am at a point that if I catch the stupid virus, I catch it. The only reason I'm not out there doing anything stupid is my 89yo father.

    Spoiler! Here's the first section of the story.

    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.

    I prepared a schedule for the coming week and allocate an hour each to working out and writing. Also plan to empty cabinets giving each room a deep cleaning. I MUST get my fat ass off the couch. Will let you know how it goes.

    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.

    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.
