Week Off and Stuff

Hey folks,

Until I looked back, I wasn't sure what to tell you about last week. The truth is, I did a lot of goofing off. I spent a bunch of time here hanging out with the happy gardener.

Writer

Hi Folks,

Today I get to keep two promises. First I get to tell you about how I became a writer, and second I can finally show you the cover for Blue Rider. On to my story.

I have always loved stories, writing them, reading them, writing songs, etc. All that got put on the back burner when I reached adulthood. I married young, had a young family, and ... well, you know how that all goes. When you have children it is hard to hold on to the little things.

Goals for Round #3 of ROW 80

Hi folks,

Well, this isn't the story of my humble beginnings in writing as I threatened you with. That will surface on Sunday. This time it's all about Round #3 of ROW80. Goals.

Hard Choices

Hi folks, 

I don't know if you remember, but back in January I set out a seriously tough writing and publishing schedule for this year. They say if you want to make the gods laugh, tell them your plans. (pounds head on desk in frustration) Yep, it has all gone to hell in a hand basket.

Quality Content

Hi folks,

here I am , head in hand, with no promise fulfilled for you. I have been promising a new book, a new cover, something, for weeks now and all I have for you today is a rant. Sigh, life is what happens when you make other plans.

Right, the rant. Well, it's this. All the experts tell you that you must blog several times a week and always have quality content. I've taken several courses and they all say that. The thing is, nobody will come right out and tell you what it is. 

Supervised Gardening

Hi folks,

Well, another week has gone by and I still don't have a cover for Blue Rider to show you. We're nearly a month behind on that now, sadly. However, here's a little story for you instead.

We here in the far north are now past the last frost date so it was time to plant our little garden. As you can see the supervisors were on the job early.

Gibbs Slap From the Muse!

Hi folks,

This past week has been interesting to say the least. many unusual things have happened. What??? You say? Well, for example, I willingly mowed the lawn. Most of you know I hate lawns and think people should be growing food instead. Anyway I did that. 

(Me with the giant rhubarb plant and grass that needs mowing.)
