Musings & Thoughts for Monday, May 22, 2023, or: Up and About Before Sunrise – Again…
Oh, no. Not again. Not another early morning wakeup! Unfortunately, Dear Reader, as I start to write this at 8:37 in the morning of Monday, May 22, 2023, it’s been five hours since I woke up to use the facilities – and then failed to go back to sleep. I tried. I really tried to…

‘The New Story: Music from the Original Writing Soundtrack’
When I write fiction – be it Reunion: A Story (AKA “the one that’s floating out there on Amazon and the online Barnes & Noble store”), “The New Story,” or the occasional screenplay – I tend to listen to music as I sit at my desk, regardless of whether I’m writing or gnashing my teeth…

Musings & Thoughts for Saturday, April 29, 2023: Weekend Update, Part the First
Hi, Dear Reader. I hope you are doing well on this last weekend of April 2023. Today’s post will be short and sweet, partly because I spent all morning revising and editing the part of The New Story that I wrote yesterday and now I’m tired, but mostly because I don’t have any good topics…
