Writer Mick: Blog

Hi All

First, thank you to all who noticed that I had posted Chapter 20 again this morning. I'm an idiot!

Second, Laz quickly posted Chapter 21 almost as soon as I submitted it. Reprieved!

Third, you may now read it and try to figure out where the heck the story is going and who is doing what, to whom, before giving it a 10. A hint!

Thank you so much for reading and for the notes letting me know that I am not only a sketchy writer, but an inept posted! A joke!

I appreciate all of you! The truth!

Hi All

My poor old brain needed a break!

Between writing "The Fortune Of The O'Dell's" and "The Strawberry Patch Book 4 - Babies Please Don't Go" and keeping up with the reading of Micheal Loucks and Tefler, my brain hurt.

I opened my "Other Projects" file and the next thing on the list was to revise "I Know You Do". I went back through and looked at all the comments and found some common issues. I went back and did some additional writing on the story and I think I made it a better read. The ending is certainly not as rushed as I had originally made it.

If you'd like to read it again, I would appreciate any feedback.

Later,

Mick

Hi All

"Friends and Family" is leaving the nudist camp and heading home. Now we'll see who ends up with whom and see if the friends can hold together. Chapter 18 posts Sunday morning.

In the works is the prequel to the "Mick and Renee" Universe, "The Fortune of the O'Dells", coming in August and the next "Strawberry Patch:Babies Please Don't Go".

And remember, if Black Lives Matter then all those protesters who burned down black owned businesses and drove black owners into bankruptcy should be protested against next week. I don't think Al Sharpton is gonna be down with THOSE black folks.

Have a great week!

Hi All

The US is back in the rocket launch business thanks to a long missing collaboration between the private sector and the government.

I am made more and more angry each day by the creep our country has taken towards the State being Mother and Father. The virus has shown that the rights the govt gives (licenses, permits, etc.) it can take away. The rights given to us by our creator, per the Constitution, are being fought for by civil disobedience.

I find it interesting that the areas more controlled by local govt are the ones having the most problems. I also find it interesting that the number of deaths would be so much lower if the govt in NY had not required the sick and elderly to be forced back into elder care facilities. Almost 1/2 of the deaths from the virus are from seniors in "health care" facilities. As a senior citizen in great health with a strong immune system, I look at the threat from this virus the same way I did the H1N1 virus and the Bird flu virus, both of which killed many ten's of thousands of people, without a shutting down of the country.

To see a small branch of the govt working with private companies with success means a lot. Not so much that it will rein in the spending by govt and the requisite stealing of my money, and my children's and grandchildren's and after this my great-grandchildren's, to pay for it.

Sorry! My muse got on her soap box. But she is an All American Muse so I would expect nothing less.

Hi All

The most wonderful DaveT took time out of his life to edit "I'll Fall In Love Again?" after I added chapters 5 & 6. I caught a few big time goofs and pointed out some faults that I thought I had learned to correct. Oops!

I have posted all six rewritten chapters. The story didn't change, but I think the fixes may have explained the actions of the characters in a more clear manner.

Chapter 17 of "Friends and Family", also edited by DaveT will post Sunday morning. This is the last of the Diana chapters. After this the kids return home.

Again, thank you to all who made comments. I must admit that this story brought the greatest range of positive and negative remarks. I guess that means I wrote something that affected a lot of people.

I appreciate your readership

Mick
