Scared and tired

Posted on August 5, 2014 by L. Jacob

On my twitter account, I said, “800 words for 3 days in a row.  I’m tired.” The worst part for me is getting started.  Once I get started, however, it’s like I can see different threads that show the end. … Continue reading →

What’s next

Posted on July 25, 2014 by L. Jacob

I did it.  I wrote trash. Once I got beyond it though, there were some interesting tidbits after it.  A full-length story. I might lengthen it and make it a real story. However, now I’m stuck on a character.  I … Continue reading →

Whuzzup?

Posted on June 16, 2014 by L. Jacob

This weekend’s output was pitiful; maybe a thousand words. That’s everything.  Journal, online, Grim.  No stories, but I got a few in mind; Knight’s ultrasound, for one.  Mike is going away with Mikael which will explain my absence to Scott. … Continue reading →

Sneaking around

Posted on June 13, 2014 by L. Jacob
