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 method, but outside of that, go in no matter what the idiot in the other lane is doing. Funny things happens, people move for you. Most the time I don't even have to look, I just go in like I own the road, and this makes others think you own the road too and they get out of the way.

Now from the freeway driver.

If you see someone coming on the ramp you should if you have a brain and if you plan to have children, MOVE TO THE LEFT LANE!!! You do it for a cop... you do it for me!

Step two: If you can't change lanes which is not true, you can always change lanes unless as stated above you see a semi truck and he wont move for you. *Rule of thumb, if you signal and go, most people will move, don't signal and stay in the lane looking like a driver's ed student. Drive already! You look at the car on the ramp, judge their speed and pace them giving them room in front or behind you so they can enter without the finger, cursing, spitting, wrecking, and all the blood and gore that come along with you being an idiot.

Step three: Drive by the oncoming car, or give the said car in front of you. Everyone is happy.

If you are the driver who will not move over or will not pace the other car I think you should be shipped back to California and beaten with a banana, and forced to wear a dog collar, the one that looks like a white funnel.

What does this have to do with writing?

Nothing.

CHAPTER ONE: Write or Die!

Would you die if you could not write?

This question came up a week or so ago and I think it is a good one. Is writing about money... HAA HAA HAA HAA!!! Right! Or is it a passion? Is it a obsession? Why do you write and if you couldn't do it, would you die?

Your answer may tell you a lot about where you will be in five years as a author. Think about it!

CHAPTER ONE: My life is so much better with technology, really it is!

I love when people who are supposed to know how to run a business do the same stupid things over and over as they kill their business and everyone tells them what to do and how to change but in their infinite wisdom keep trucking alone as if no one else in the world exist in blind stupidity.

It a simple phone call so hard?
Does it take a brain to pick up a phone and communicate?

I guess the answer is yes.

I know you have no idea what I am talking about, this may be a good thing, if you did someone might get hurt. Anyway, I learn or try to learn something from everyone I knew or meet. Someone once said, "Every man is my teacher." I like this motto and even a dumb person can offer something, may hap I can learn how not to do something. I pray for wisdom, understanding and the clincher... to understand people. This last one gets me into trouble. I start seeing things I don't want to and understand more which like the verse says, with wisdom comes sorrow.

Today I can take away that I am capable of anything, I am able to fall farther then anyone eve myself thought possible, and I am not anything without the ones who love me. If this is not true feeling and a open heart then what is? In order to write the way I want to and the way you all deserve I need to tap into this idea and feel through the words on the page. Can I do it?

We shall see...

CHAPTER ONE: I'm Sick of being sick!

Snot...
Aches...
Chest congestion...
And I blame you!

You gave it to me and now my kids have it and all they did today was cry, scream, snot, spit up medication, poop, and that was just when I was home from 5-9! I want to thank, all you out there that like to think because you have a cold or your kid has it, that you must share it with everyone. May I remind you, some things you don't share...

Like:
Boogers, toe jam, your money... now this one you should share, but you don't do you? All I am saying is if you are sick or you have a sick kid no one will think you are a heathen if you stay home from church one time this year! It does not make you a super Christian if you drag your runny nose kid to church and cough it up in the second row SHARING your blessed cold with the rest of us. I think God will understand and the rest of of us will thank you for staying home so we won't have too, and miss out.

So, Like I said, I blame you.

You should be ashamed...

You might want to send me a I'm sorry card...

With some money in it...

No boogers please.

CHAPTER ONE: Dog Day's

A day like today where the sun just won't shine, and if it can go wrong it just might... no, no it will and did go wrong! Not everything, I might be over doing it a little, but it felt like I was swimming up a river of tar in a boat made of superglue!

Not feeling great, kids are grumpy and Klayton it cutting some teeth in. This all makes it hard to get anything done and poor Karissa is under the weather as well. I must say here at the coffee shop I did get some work done but it is not enough time in the day to finish all i really need to do and I need to go home to tend to the madness!

So, how does this help you in your writing? Not sure, and at this point I don't care if you write another word! Ha, how is that for honesty and in your face love? I did manage to write in this here blog, so... I did something yes?

I am excited for my book and have been rolling ideas around in my mind about it all week. I think when I get a chance to sit down I might just have another 20000 word count day!

CHAPTER ONE: Nothing new to report

It is Sunday and on this day I go to a coffee shop to write, stare at the teenagers yapping about their ever so complicated lives and I know this is a run on sentence but as you should know by now, I don't care much about the rules of the English savvy and the literature snobs as we know them. Any-who... I ditched this fun outing and decided to take a nap instead and watch a boring movie. I didn't know the movie was going to be boring at the time but what do you do?

I was thinking about people, and yes the study of them is one job a writer must have. They come in all sizes, shapes, and yes colors. I saw one the other day that was wearing snakeskin boots and jeans with a huge rip where his butt and upper leg met. This would have been fine but it was apparent he was not wearing any underwear. I know, I threw up a little in my mouth too... He was not the best dressed person and I wondered if he did this as a fashion statement or because he was hot and having something to block the breeze might be uncomfortable.

So remember the next time you look in the mirror before you go out to the mall, someone like me might be watching and you might just end up in a blog or worse yet... A book!

CHAPTER ONE: Trying new things...

My wife goes to this site called GymboRebel ,this site is for lovers of kids clothing and I think it is a sickness myself. Any who... there are a bunch of women in off topic lines that like to read or make up their own Fanfic as they call it, so I got the idea to try and use this illness to my advantage. If they like to read, and I have a new Teen Thriller I am working on, perfect!

I signed up and posted the first 2 chapters, I am going to see what kind of feedback I can get and I will post a few chapters a week and watch... You never know.

CHAPTER ONE: And the rain came...

Day of rain, sleet, and with it all I did manage to get something done.

I was thinking about the book meeting last night and thinking more about making a plan. You know a plan can be a good thing, maybe even a outline so you know where the book is going. However, if you cram your book and the plot into this so called plan then it will end up reading like a high school football playbook instead of a novel with real life in it.

Just a thought...

CHAPTER ONE: ...here comes the rain!

Ah...
Oh... ah...

Yes that is me breathing in deep, cracking my neck and stretching out in the warm sunlight and oh how it feels so very good. Have you ever just had a good stretch or want to crawl in bed and it feels so good under the sheets that you want to giggle like a little girl?

No?

Well my friend, you need to throw off your sad old ways and live man! Come on and join us in the bed sleeping happy fools!

So, you must know by now that I am having a much better day then yesterday. I got something done today and the feeling is I must say... wonderful. Got half of my book done and now the other half is on the way, I even had to read the last line to Karissa because I think it is good. Lol Funny how something written is good no matter who wrote it. I think that stuff I write is okay, maybe good at times, but when something just hits home, well it makes it all worth it.

We had a great time tonight at North Star Books in our little writing/publishing group. Talked about making a plan to write everyday and how to stick with it. I also met some way cool people and I am excited to work with such talented people.

I also wanted to say something to someone... you will know if I am talking to you if the ever so tight shoe fits... That I am so very happy to be working with you. I think you have a great future as a writer and don't worry, the title will come and soon you will have a masterpiece to be proud of. Keep up the good work.

Well I am off... my bed and a good book are calling...
