Assuming I was here….might have been here. If I was here, then to the left is a signature picture of the big brush fire in Fort Myers, FL between Jamaica Bay & Wal-Mart. Between the two is an east-west linear forest that is split by what used to be a railroad track. Apparently it’s the [...]

So…entrenched in the camp, tools sharpened and readied to go…and I’ve got no fight in me. Can’t write. Well, at least, creatively about what I want to write about ….them Books of Blues. So, I checked Facebook to see what friends were up to. Then I looked on the right to see there were friend [...]

I’m just leaving a note to remember to take time to write. Getting into the habit of getting into the habit, so to speak… Ever had to do that before? Trying not to live this way:

(I’m working towards this scene, but forgetting to rest as I go) I woke up, got prepared for a meeting in New Buffalo, MI, and called to confirm. They answered, said it would be better if I backed it up a day, and I was none more thankful. Now I’m backing up my trip to [...]

I’ve still got three things to do before I can actually write a chapter in Book of Blues Prequel. But once those things are done, then its just me and those Book of Blues. A watching the final season of Royal Pains should do the trick. For me, writer’s block seems to be a forced [...]

A friday night in Duneland. The place: Valparaiso, IN. Much like how the card game Euchre grasped our area forefathers’ attention, “Bags” has Pied Pipered the state of Indiana. Also known as “Cornhole” or “Bean Bags,” Bags has worked its way from the college towns into the fabric of every mill town, state road intersection [...]

Max Power’s words still hit home a day later. He’s right. I need to take my journey to publishdom with more of a professional attitude despite my personal entwining with the project.

Social Media, SEO, Copywriting, Analytics, wanting a book published…I think of little else. I keep tellin’ a buddy of mine that balance of work and recreation is needed in life. If you don’t do both you’ll have neither. My buddy calls my advice hypocritical. There’s a point in that logic. I keep preachin’ it but [...]

The first two chapters in the Book of Blues Prequel have been completed. Two chapters in and I already have to tweak my Book of Blues to tie them together seemlessly. But I’m excited. I have the Book of Blues Prequel outline sketched and within a couple pages of writing, I’ve already went to a [...]

In beat with previous concessions, instead of lacing up walking shoes and working up a sweat, I’m engaged in oldold man Finn’s favorite long-standing Saturday Night tradition: watching The Lawrence Welk Show My aunt is grumbling over the fact that there’s still 20 minutes to go. My mom is pointing out the comb-overs: “poor guys.” [...]

It was last Thursday night at a local townie bar, Franklin House. The area’s oldest bar has been around since the 1860′s. Creaks and warps in the establishment’s flooring gives testament to the joint’s age, but the square footage, high ceilings and circa 1900 ceiling tiles add to the spacious feel – which is a [...]
