Resolved: More Cowbell

Posted on December 25, 2019 by L. Jacob

I need to get cracking on writing some stories. I’m involved with a writers’ group now and I have no excuse. Well, I do. I have no ideas. But that’s an excuse, not a reason. Being tired is an excuse. … Continue reading →

NaNo, lost.

Posted on December 3, 2019 by L. Jacob

By week three, I had lost all interest in The Band Singer, mostly because I was exhausted. On Thanksgiving week, I had planned to wrap it up at least. I couldn’t even get the gumption to go online to a … Continue reading →

NaNo, Week Blah

Posted on November 24, 2019 by L. Jacob

24,000 words of blech. Note to Self: don’t write the end first. That’s the main reason I’m bored with this story–I not only know the end, but I wrote it out already. I’ve gotten the action, and now I need … Continue reading →

NaNo, week 2

Posted on November 11, 2019 by L. Jacob

I’m up to 21K words on this horrible novel that I’m going to trash when I’m done. I worked on it all weekend and half the day today so I could take tomorrow off on it, since it’s a dialysis … Continue reading →

5000 words and counting

Posted on November 3, 2019 by L. Jacob

So far, for NaNoWriMo, I have 5000 words of garbage. No, really, it’s bad. But that’s okay. I’m not in it to get even a publishable manuscript out of it. I’m in it to be one with the many people … Continue reading →

Almost there!

Posted on October 27, 2019 by L. Jacob

The good thing about dialysis is I have time to read books. I broke down and got Kindle Unlimited, so I could get some fiction books for “free” ($9.99/month). I also purchased a few Kindle editions of books that are … Continue reading →

NaNoWriMo Prep

Posted on October 22, 2019 by L. Jacob

At first, I wasn’t going to do NaNo because of my work/dialysis schedule. Now that I have some time available for recuperation, I could probably do NaNo. I’m not going to force myself to get to the 50K mark. I’m … Continue reading →

Hemming and Hawing

Posted on October 13, 2019 by L. Jacob

I’m wishy-washy about a big decision with my job. That’s what’s taking up most of my time recently, the indecision of what one person says in HR versus what another person says. Nobody at HR knows what the hell will … Continue reading →

Memoir

Posted on October 6, 2019 by L. Jacob

I bit the bullet and sent my memoir, Torn Asunder, to my publisher to have him take a look at it. Right now he’s in the throes of publishing Corporate Catharsis, an anthology that I wrote a story for entitled … Continue reading →

Last taste of relaxation

Posted on September 30, 2019 by L. Jacob

This is the last week I have before I return to work on Friday. I’m excited but not. I’m excited to start this new journey, but I’m afraid of overextending myself. This is good for six months, and then after … Continue reading →
