Feb 4 – Day 35 – Writin’ my Doom!

I’m making a day up here so I’ll give you my half serious half kidding half not really serious but totally serious….romantic comedy novel. Chapter One is up and running here. Enjoy. Comments and feedback is welcome.

I worked my butt off today at work. Didn’t get much else done. And so thus ends this catchup day post.

Day 19 – Jan 19th – Writing Fool

Today has turned into a great day and it mostly has to do with my writing.  I haven’t written a thing fictional wise this month and it was getting to me.  I finally sat down today and pounded out over 1,300 words.  It was a fun write and I have to take a moment to extend thanks to Robert Parker for the inspiration.  He passed away yesterday at the age of 77.  I read all his Appaloosa novels (Brimestone, Resolution, Appaloose) just at the start of January.  I didn’t enjoy the settings as much as I enjoyed the characters of the series.  Much of what you will be seeing in my “The Cousins’ Dahl” will have echoes and influence of Mr. Parker.  I am now going to have to read his Spenser series along with Jesse Stone novels to catch up on what many call some his best writing.

Jan 2nd – Day 2 – Keeping Pace

I love weekends.  This weekend is a bit of a bittersweet moment because after being on vacation for nearly two weeks I’m dreading the return to work.  I’m a glutton for punishment so I’ve been checking my email.  Bad idea.  I fear that when I return I’m going to need roller skates to get everything done that needs doing.  I’ll survive to see another day.  Work isn’t the end of the world or me but it’ll definitely push me to the limits in the New Year.  I’ve struggled how to balance and work with the stress that the job throws down on my shoulders and I’ll admit that on more than one occasion I’ve failed miserably.  Handling stress and the load of work that presents itself is both a struggle and a blessing.  Without all that I’d never learn.  I’d rather learn by dealing than having a job without challenge.
