Writer Mick: Blog

Hi All

My poor old brain has been so stuffed with ideas that I have an entire file of partially written stories.

While I'm waiting for my muse to return from vacation, I am seeing her cousin and trying to fill in and finish some of the partial stories.

The first of these is called "Debbie's Question" and it has to do with a question asked and a can of worms opened and closed in a most unusual manner.

I hope my muse doesn't get mad at her cousin and make her leave last longer! I want to get back to The Strawberry Patches final book and The Strength of the O'Dells.

Take care everyone and thanks again for your readership.

Hi All

Well, first, my basketball bracket is shot to hell!

Second, my muse never came back with me from my two week vacation, so I used my time to go over some past pre-editor works.

Thanks to DaveT, ProfessorC, and Coullpert, I have learned a new appreciation of the English language as it is spoken and misused in the good old United States.

Using the knowledge they have hammered into my think old skull, I have now corrected and posted all three stories in the "I Was Sitting" Universe and one of my personal favorites, "Equilibrium". The later is so much better and I have to say that I'm proud of the story and now the writing.

I hope y'all have a great time dealing with the basketball tournament and thank you all again for reading and commenting and writing emails. I really appreciate all of you.

Thanks

Mick

Hi All

While my muse is on hiatus, I've bee going over a few older stories that had no editors. Having found several egregious errors, I fixed what I could. The "Wedding" story had some continuity errors and one name flip!

So all fixed and ready to make better sense. Now on to "Delivery Room". I know Tefler liked it, but I'm not sure I still do. We shall see.

Hi All

I've just finished the rewrite of "I Was Sitting In A Bar On A Monday Night".

Like so many of my earlier attempts at writing, there were numerous grammatical errors and some context shifts inside the story.

Those have all been fixed and now I like it even more than I did before!

Have a great weekend St. Patrick's Day survivors!

Hi All

We had some awesome thunderboomers blow through NE Oklahoma last night. A couple of thunder blasts were so intense, the old brick building I live in shook!

Tonight we lose an hour of sleep, unless, like me you stay up past 2AM. Must be the gout drugs keeping me awake.

This week we're supposed to have clear skies at night and that means that Mars will be very bright and right next to the moon!

On Sunday I will post Chapter 6 of The Passion of the O'Dells. This chapter sets a new location and takes us several years into the future of the story.

I'm heading to the mountains for several days of decompression and relaxation. Then the world cranks up again on the 22nd and it's back to the salt mine.

Take care all

Mick
