CHAPTER TWO: Next!

Got through the teen novel for the second time. Now time to send to a creative editor to have it torn apart and that way it will come out better. I feel okay with how it looks, some things need some work but I am having a hard time figuring out what to do with it now. I think some time away will do it and me some good. Now time to start writing book 3 in the WJA series.

CHAPTER TWO: Happy Birthday Klayton!

My son Klayton is one today. I wanted to say I love having kids and Klayton is a sweetie. I think he is going to be a lover for sure, the big blue eyes, the funny personality. Watch out girls!

I got much done in the writing world and now I am off to bed. Getting close and soon I will put it out there for some feedback before I go on with it. Keep watching.

CHAPTER TWO: Soapbox?

Should we as writers have a hidden agenda in our work? If so should it be there right in your face and out front where everyone can see or hidden under many folds and layers of story and plot?

It is hard to write and not have a point or something to say. I believe it is in our hearts to put down on paper something we feel is true and something we feel may better a person or a group of people. But what is the line of being a good writer to being a sermon under the cover of a story?

I would say a...

CHAPTER TWO: Dream On Warning!!!

Okay, I have got a few comments on my book Dream On and how it creeps some people out or they think I am a sick person for coming up with some of the things that go on in the main killers head. I am writing this for some of you that may need a little inside into where all this came from and maybe ease your minds that I am not a secret psychopath waiting to kill people in a dark alley after church on Sunday mornings.

I have a underlying Theme in all my books, the first one Sweet Dreams was ask...

CHAPTER TWO: Think, think...think...

So think about it, no not say you are going to think about but really think about it. Are you going to do what you say you are going to do? Really? Poo would think about the honey pot, where it might be and true he was slow at times but in the end he did the right thing.

Writing is one of these things, you should think about it, realize you may make people happy and some mad. Can you handle someone hating your book? Can you handle a crazy fan who thinks you are some sort of hero? Both are wro...

CHAPTER TWO: Trip to LA... Business and fun!

So this weekend I did not get any writing done as you may have seen. no blogging, writing, or much of anything else my somewhat normal life seems to hold for me. Karissa and I went to LA for a business/fun trip. I met with a printer and we went to a party on Saturday night and got to hear some cool music and got the chance to listen to some great authors read from their books.

Sunday morning I met with a author that I am excited to be working with in the future publishing some out of print bo...

CHAPTER TWO: Do Not Read This If You Want To Have A Good Day.

I told you not to read this unless you want to have a bad day and be sucked into my bad mood and the spit and grit that will come form my frustrated mouth. I warned you and now you will have to suffer the consequences!

I get along with most people and try to be a good person, be nice most of the time and work hard. But there are some people out there that grate on me and because of their false, lying, backstabbing, self-absorbed, whining, so on and so forth minds and selves, I want to do thing...

CHAPTER TWO: Busy as a bee in the spring...

Yesterday I had meeting after meeting and they were all great! I spoke at a writing group in the evening and I find that every time I get all nerved up and can't eat and afterward I am starving. In all the day was good and IO am planning for my trip to L.A.

It is Karissa's birthday on the 6th so we are going to make a mini get a way trip out of all the business. It will be nice to get away from the kids. They are fun and I love them, but sometimes I want ti kill them, well maybe not kill but ...

CHAPTER TWO: WE MADE IT THROUGH THE FIRST MONTH!!!

Here we are one month down and I almost made it every day! So cool and now I need to come up with more junk for you five to read and maybe even be a help to someone. I know it has been good for me to have a place to rant, talk, get some thoughts out and now we are into month two. Only 11 more to go!

This blog is very sarcastic and cut it up kind of a blog! So do not go crying to me if you are offended or are hurt because I gave you fair warning. I am a writer and because of this I like to writ...

CHAPTER ONE: So you think you can drive!

My wife says I should teach a class on driving, and the subject of the hour would be how to merge on the freeway. I don't think this is a hard thing to grasp, however, the other people on the roads in this town must think it is the hardest thing in the world! I mean come on!

Step one: Click your blinker on.
Step two: Speed up to 55-65 MPH
Step three: Enter the flow of traffic. Do not stop, slow down, speed up, just merge. If there is a line of semi trucks you may want to think about this proven...
