BEEN A WHILE

 Wow. Been a while since I wrote about anyting on here I see. Been one of those things I've been meaning to get to but seem to never do. I think this time around I've just allowed too many things to get in my way. So I'm going to be positng here more than usual from here on out. There have been times I've wondrerd if I'm writing to anybody at all but it seems there have been a few people following this and frankly it kind of shocked me a bit. I've lerned just becasue people aren't commenting dosen't mean thery're not watching.

I did write a few short stories which those will be up soon.

I'm also going to step away from writing the more extreme type horror. I feel I've plunged into a territory I shouldn't be in to be honest. I want to write stories that people like to read and to me from what people tell me extreme horror has a very low market.

I want this journal to share the day and life of a writer that is working with full time job and writing stories and that I think is what I'm going to stick with. This is mostly something for me, a type of therapy so to speak. I've had some struggles with working for the corporate world and all those middle management type pukes that get in the way and I've allowed it to stop me in my tracks as far as some of my writing goes. This blog will help me get through that and get me back to writing on more of a regular basis. Dosen't take that much time to write this really. Has more to do with me getting myself to the chair. 

So, I'm going to consider this a new beginning and I'm going to be more open and transparrent on here because lets face it, not many people like to do that.  Too much political crap going on these days and as a writer if you're worried about ticking people off or hurting their itsy-bitsy feelings it will stop you from writing. One day you will wake up and realize that you haven't written anything in a while and you will become depressed over it. I aim to stop that and if you're reading this and are a writer too it just may help you.

Time is up.

Go out and make it a great day.

NEW STORY CHALLENGE

 Ray Bradbury said in one of his lectures that it is impossible to write 52 bad stories in a row and encouraged writers to write a story a week for a year. He is exactly right. I mean it's Ray Bradbury who wrote well over six hundred stories before he got his first acceptance. Yeah, not many people know about that. If you want some interresting reading google writer rejections and you will learn a thing or two. I'm going to do this challenge plus I'm going to publish the story at the end of the week. I indie publish everything I write for the most part. Though lately I've fallen short on the publishing thing. I've got stories written now that are just sitting in my back log. Does nobody any good that way. To add to that I'm writing two stories a week instead of that one. One story doesn't seem enough to me so I'm adding one. Plus I'd like ot have a hundred stories up by the end of the year and add in small collections. I have to get as many stories u

NEW BLOG (Week 4)

New blog. New look in case you haven't noticed. I decided I wanted to make this more of a journal type blog and didn't want to mess with all the bells and whistles that come with a regular site. Plus this is free and simple to use. I think I'll be staying here for a while. So what's new? Lots. I've started a yearly challenge of writing a short story a week for an entire year. Actually longer than that. I need to keep this streak going past 72 weeks to beat my friend Harvey Stanbrough's record. So that's a lot of fun. Of course whenever you start anything new something always has to happen. For instance I got attacked by a pit bull while I was at work and he chewed my arm up pretty good. I'm off work right now and in between surgeries,s till I manged to get my story for the week done last week. I'm OK as long as I write in short periods throughout the day otherwise if I try and do too much I get sore. So easy does it wins the race. I'm
