An Update & Stuff

Production has been slow the last couple days, but I got a few more pages into each project. The short story was feeling like a dud in the beginning, but I like how it’s going now. The novel is taking a direction I did not expect. I’m a little surprised and disturbed by what I’m writing in this current chapter.

I don’t plot out my projects. I don’t have time for plot outlines, and I don’t understand writers who do. I start a story and I stick with it until it closes up somewhere. I generally don’t know what’s going to happen in the story until it happens.

DoorDash recently added some more restaurants. One of the new listings is Maude’s Alabama BBQ, which is owned by my uncle Ron. I already ordered from them a couple times. I might be biased, but I think their food has a quality that I haven’t found in other restaurants.

They now have two restaurants, one in Flint and one in Lapeer. If you haven’t tried them yet, you should.

The Pistons are not far behind the Kings. 64-71. It’s halftime.

Misc

You Gotta Understand

I grew up in a rock n roll family. All through my childhood and teens, my parents were in rock n roll bands. Our home was constantly blessed by the tones of rock n roll. Several people I’ve known all my life are rock n roll musicians.

Production

I can’t remember the last time I had a day this productive. Next to a bunch of other stuff I got done today, I wrote eighteen pages of fiction. Nine into the novel and nine into the short story.

I haven’t been keeping track of wordcounts, but each page is about 200 to 250 words, so I’d say I got in at least 3,600 words today, 1,800 each.

The Rams are beating the Cardinals. 31-11. 5 minutes left on the clock.

Edited to Add:
Novel-361 pages-74,049 words.
Story-17 pages-3,531 words.

Justice

I’m in Facebook jail for suggesting the court of law should sentence recently arrested Leader of the Oath Keepers to death, for the crime of treason.

So, if you thought Facebook was only cracking down on right wingers for comments about the left, you were mistaken.
