So, it's half term and all productivity has ground to a halt barring desperate scribbles of ideas any chance I get.

Hope you're all having a good one; tomorrow being pancake day I intend to gorge.

Have a great week everyone. #WritingCommunity #Writersky

Midweek check in.

Oh boy, what a day. Hammered out the last of Book 21 #WIP first draft with a cliffhanger ending of all things today... ๐Ÿ˜ฑ The next one is going to be heartbreaking.

How are we all doing? ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž

Ah, the old midweek roundup. We're around halfway through Book 20 #WIP and things are dangerous. Gotta finish tomorrow... might sneak a little Saturday session in if I'm feeling it. ๐Ÿ‘

Hope your week is going well #WritingCommunity #Writersky

All right, so the little manchild was sick Friday and left my #WIP at 32,000 words which is short of my target but what can you do. Little manchild is better now so back to school tomorrow; my head will then meet grind stone and we get the back of book 20 broken. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž

STATION DARK #1: Signal Bleed The heater clicked once, then died.

What started as a limited series has grown more than Iโ€™d ever expected. I am so thankful to the community of followers and supporters I found on Substack. The 2nd arc of STATION DARK, a 1980โ€™s Midwestern horror, starts on Monday.

Flying over snow covered mountains in Montana.

Flying over snow covered mountains in Montana.

chiseled memories
a familiar gait
resolutions in real time
patterned palaces
where the Earth
holds the truthful energy
so free and independent
loyal and raw born
a sharing of stories
worth keeping alive
