Writer Mick: Blog

Hi All

Well I'm near the end of my vacation. The day after I got here, they closed down the entire metro area. No movies, no bars, no restaurants, nada! I couldn't go home because I prepaid for the hotel and I wouldn't get a refund.

I did have a couple of days to spend with my son and his new wife (they are pregnant!). I've been catching up on reading and some writing and some rewriting.

I just posted a rewrite of "Swapping Wives". The ending was a little sloppy. I hope I fixed it.

The next chapter of "Friends and Family", the 2nd Lissa chapter will post on Sunday morning. I'm heading home tomorrow morning and I'll spend the weekend writing. My big goal is to finish and post a new story, I don't have a name for it yet.

It's a three hour drive home and I'm heading out early in the AM. I'll be home before noon. As of right now, Bartlesville, OK has not been attacked by the panic monster to the extent that the bars and restaurants are closed or that there is no TP in the stores.

Looking forward to sitting down to a good steak, some roasted Brussels sprouts, and a solid salad instead of fast food.

Take care my friends.

Hi All

It's 4:41AM Central Time. I just finished writing a story that was buzzing around in my head since about 7PM.

I'm supposed to make a three hour drive to KC tomorrow. Maybe I'll start late.

I love you! Good Night/Morning

Hi All

It just hit me.

"Swapping Wives" is the 50th story that I have posted!

A few good ones a few stinkers that I need to fix.

Overall, a very satisfying few years.

Thanks to all of you for adding to the satisfaction.

Hi All

A little ditty before I take off on vacation.

I hope you'll like it.

Chapter 6 of "Friends and Family" posts on Sunday. It is the first of two Lissa chapters.

I hope the people who scored the story so low will change their minds as the story develops. I never leave a score on a story until I have read the whole thing, or and huge chuck of it (thinking of Tefler and Michael Loucks)

I'm off to KC to see the son and his shiny new wife that he didn't tell his mother or me about and then to St. Louis to see the daughter and the two grand daughters.

Stay corona free and pray that the powers that be get their heads out of their asses and realize that if they didn't cancel basketball, hockey, Formula 1 for the 16,000 who died last year from influenza, they don't need to cancel them from the 39 who have died from the Wuhan China flu this year. Especially since 26 of them were over 70 and in the same nursing home in Seattle.

Later my friends

Hi All

I got started and couldn't stop. It's 2:34AM and I just finished the 2nd and final chapter of "Put Your Hand In Mine".

I hope you like it.

Also, if any of you authors, experienced or not, would like to write and submit a different Chapter 2, let me know.

Thanks for your readership, I really do appreciate it.

Mick
