It’s that time of year again—time to complain about the Pittsburgh Steelers’ on-the-field performance. They stand at 1-4 and face the reigning Super Bowl champions, the Baltimore Ravens for their next game. I’ve had the opportunity to watch part, if not all, of the games so far. The Steelers are being out-executed on the field. … Read more
While at the beach, I did some writing. I noticed that during my writing session that I got distracted. I decided to specify a writing time—say 1 hour—as a hard limit. The idea is that during that time, I’d write, knowing that there’s a hard limit. To help with this, I searched for Windows timer … Read more
A trip to the beach is on the horizon again, and I realized that didn’t post photos from last year’s trip. What I look forward to the most is peaceful beauty of the island, Fripp Island, SC. This was sunrise at the beach. These are deer eating near the tennis courts. The island is a … Read more
This is a quick update on my writing efforts. A few weeks ago, I submitted a short story, The Curse of Rachael’s Crest, to the Loudoun County (Va.) Library’s writing contest. I worked on this story on and off for the last three years. Finally, I’m satisfied with how the ending plays. I’m preparing to … Read more

But, I doubt anyone has seen a critique presently like this: What really happened isn’t that bad. My wife laid the story next to the stove. She started making supper and came to see me … Read more
Create a character, named Anthony Weiner who is a congressman. Have him take pictures of his genitalia and send them to young women. Have it become public because he made a mistake with Twitter. Have him resign. Already, the scenario sounds unrealistic because of his name. But, wait, there’s more… A year afterward, have him … Read more
Recently, in a weekly critique group that I belong to, I’ve seen several submissions where in the first few chapters, the author stops the story cold to provide description of a person, surroundings, or both. In one case, in the first chapter, the story stopped to get complete (multi-paragraph) backstories on six characters. Literally, we’re … Read more
In 2008, I visited Fripp Island, SC. When there, I get up at sunrise and walk the beach. It so peaceful. And sometimes, I get surprised. This morning, several deer wandered on the beach and played in the surf. I was able to take several pictures without disturbing them. The above picture makes me think … Read more
