I am doing well, thanks. Recovering from a fun weekend with friends. Snacking until dinner. Playing too many video games instead of writing. It's a good day.
How about you?
Well, thank you for that.
All the little mistakes and slightly off notes make me a little crazy. But, it's about as good as I can get it.
Jonathan was in town over the weekend, and we spoke a bit about what he's going to do with it. I'm super excited about what he is planning. Hopefully, in the next few weeks, I'll be able to share his version.
Mmmm. Breakfast. And yes. Corbin is integrating with Paul's friends, which seems to have gone well at their first meeting.
That cleaner! What is going on? What could be worth the risk to both him personally, and to the Family he's working for to go after such a potentially troublesome target?
Very sneaky, very good at what he does. But, concerning? What is there to worry about? What could Harris have possibly kept tucked away in a safe? Hrmmm.
We also have a baked potato bar for our DnD games. And yes, yes, I'm happy you're so liberated with nakedness as well. Give the prudish Idaho natives time to warm up to each other. 😛
Yes, you're right. Analog storage is so eighties! Or it's for a guy who doesn't want any potential that what he's storing will get emailed to anybody else. 😮
Give them a few sessions before they get naked around each other, jeez! I'm happy you're so liberated though. 😊
It was seven a.m. on Saturday morning, and Paul was a free man. The relief crew for the firefighters on duty arrived, and he left the fire station after the turnover. They actually got to sleep through the night, so he was refreshed and felt great.
He got into his truck, and invariably his thoughts turned to Corbin. He smiled and started the engine. Then he sat there and texted his new boyfriend. 'Hey. Need anything from the store before I leave town?'
A minute later he got a response.
Hey, Mac. Thanks! The melody has rattled 'round in my head for years. I finally put words to it for my story, and I think it turned out pretty nice. A tiny bit repetitive, but that makes it easy to sing along to. 🙂
Thanks, Thorn. 🙂 It really fit the context of the story where it appeared. My readers seemed to enjoy hearing the melody. I think it helped them "get" the story. I really like multimedia experiences, and this is one way to go about it.
My musical buddy, a guy named Jonathan Foster is going to use a song I wrote in his next album. That's pretty damn cool and flattering. I wrote it for a story, and it turned out pretty good.
If you want to abuse your ears here's me singing my acapella version of it. Bled the Blood Jonathan will do a better job though, thankfully.
I've got just enough of a few gifts to know that I am not quite at a level that can be considered exceptional. But, that's all right. I'm pretty happy with honorable mentions in multiple areas vs. champion of one.
I hope everybody is well.
The husband and I are about to play host to some folks we know who live a few hours away (surprise visit!). The house is clean (I really wish I had gotten a picture of what Kevin cleans house in, but alas). The cats are fed. Snacks have been purchased and judged acceptable.
We're ready to commence the weekend. Though I won't get much writing/editing done, it'll still be a great time.
Maybe. But Lord of the Flies was a "masterpiece." And I despised that bit of literature.
Do what you do, be happy doing it, progress along the track you associate with improvement - whatever that may be.
