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…

On Writing & Storytelling: SITREP on ‘The New Story’ for Friday, April 28, 2023
It’s Been a Long, Long Day It’s late morning here on Friday, April 28, 2023, here in lovely Lithia, Florida. For me, it’s been a longer than usual morning: I don’t know at what time I went to sleep last night; was it 10 PM? 11 PM? I don’t know. I just remember feeling drowsy…

Musings & Thoughts for Sunday, April 23, 2023, or, Weekend Update, Part the Second
You put the ‘Sun’ into my day. Happy Sunday! ― Anthony T. Hincks It’s late morning here in Lithia, Florida, on a quiet, cool-but-warming-up Sunday, April 23, 2023. I wanted to sleep at least until 8; I went to bed way past midnight (I didn’t go to the kitchen to check the time before I…

Musings & Thoughts for Saturday, April 22, 2023, or: Weekend Update, Part the First
Wowie zowie. It’s already afternoon here in Lithia on Saturday, April 22, 2023! Where did my morning go, and why did it morph into the afternoon so quickly? It appears like I woke up a little while ago, wandered into the kitchen, brewed (and then drank) two cups of coffee, then came back in here…

Writing & Storytelling: After a Rough Start, I’m Finally Starting Project X: A New Story Coming Soon…*
* Just don’t ask me to define “Soon.” Well, Dear Reader, it’s official. Yesterday afternoon, despite feeling foggy-brained from lack of sleep and no small amount of writer’s jitters, I tapped out the first 400 words of the new story – Project X, so-called. (Of course, that’s not the real title. Not even close.) Since…

Musings & Thoughts for Saturday, April 15, 2023, or: Weekend Update, Part the First
Things on My Mind…. I woke up incredibly early this morning. Not at 4 AM, thankfully, but it was still pitch-dark when – as is all too familiar an occurrence for me – I was awakened by a full bladder and the need to pee. Of course, I ventured forth to the bathroom across the…
