CHAPTER TWO: FEAR... And how you can fear the right way.
The media, I tell ya. How do I put this?
YOU ARE STUPID!!!
There, I said it! How is it we keep eating the pudding, drinking the cool-aid as my wife says. Do you not see how this keeps going on and on and on with the same old junk day after day and you keep believing it because it is new!
Come on people! The world is going to end because a wave is going to wipe out Hawaii, The H1N1 is killing your children, the Bird flu, the earth has a fever! And round we go. The only sad part is we the people...

CHAPTER TWO: Night with Ellen Hopkins
So I was going to stop by a book signing at the library on Ustick because Ellen Hopkins was going to be there. I was on my way to a book group and thought it would be fun to check it out.
For you who don't know Ellen Hopkins wrote bestselling book such as Burn, Crank, Glass, Tricks and more. She is a teen sensation and her writing style is different and catching on.
I found out that she was going to be speaking as well so I bought two of her books and was waiting to hear what she had to say. ...

CHAPTER TWO: Sniffing, coughing, farting, and looking good!
I was going to do some posting yesterday but felt something coming on, the old crud. This morning here it is in all of its glory. I have so much to do that i do not need a cold but when was the last time a cold set up a appointment?
I went to the Cabin last night and enjoyed the writing class that was put on. They hold them every 2nd and 4th wed. night of the month. I wanted to check it out and it was not to bad. The class was on poetry and that is not my style or something that I claim to un...

CHAPTER TWO: So you want to write a book...
Why? Why in the world would you want to write a book? I mean you pour out your heart and soul to people that will buy your work for .99 and then gripe that is was not the way they would say it and even your own family will not buy your book and want it for free!
Why? Are you crazy? Are you mad and like to work your tail off for no money and hang your self out for the world to see? Do you like your feelings hurt so much so that you of all people put your private thoughts into words for all to ...

CHAPTER TWO: Old man coming through...
So I can hardly walk, I worked out my legs the other day and this morning I just about fell over when I got out of bed. It is funny how 2 days later it hurts worse then the next day.
I am excited to send out copy's of mt teen thriller and get real feedback. It is in the rough draft form but this way I can change things before it gets to far along in the story. If anyone would like to read it and help me out let me know. I can e-mail you a copy and you can beat me up.

CHAPTER TWO: Chicks with Sticks...
This morning I woke up or sort of woke up and made my way to the coffee shop to get some go juice. I was going to enter the hen house and I was the fox as it were. You think I joke, jest and jostle you about this, but I am not pulling your leg.
Sticks and Chicks is a book club of beautiful women in their prime, (How was that?) Who love to golf, drink wine, eat, and read books. I found out that this month the book they were reading was mine. I about spit up a great lunch when I heard this and ...

CHAPTER TWO: OWW!!!
4 years of not working out is not good. Karissa and I went and got a membership at a gym and I am on day 4. I feel like a 80 year old man after not that hard of a work out! What is with that?
I know that I am out of shape but can't the fat just leave so when I try to run on the treadmill I don't have to throw this weight around? I wish we got a few free pounds, you know like ten or so if you start working out just to keep you going. Kind of like a pat on the back for doing something and you ca...

CHAPTER TWO: Slacker...
Yeah, I know I am such a slacker. I had a busy few days and was going to get on here to write something but went to bed instead. No, I bet you have never done that! Ha... I laugh...
Writing class, publishing info class, talk... whatever you want to call it is tonight. I was thinking about the different things and all the work it takes to write a book and go on to try to get it published and wondered if it is all worth it. That is why it is so important that writing is in your blood and if you ...
