I finished writing chapter 2 of the Book of Blues Prequel. Because I took the name of the original Book of Blues and gave it to the prequel, it does feel like I’m writing the Blues Book all over again. After not book writing for over 8 months, it took a while to get back […]

Starting Book of Blues Prequel Chapter 2 at Captiva Island
Eight months ago, I was in Ft. Myers, Margaritaville, preparing to write either the Book of Blues Prequel or Sequel. Today, I’m going to start on the second chapter of the Blues Book Prequel. Still haven’t sketched either books, but I did sketch the outline of the chapter. The image in my head that starts […]
And the Band Played on
I’m getting too old to stay up so late writing. At least, when I want to try to get up the following morning and enjoy the sun and weather. And I failed miserably when I tried to get up early this morning. The problem with writing late in the night is that even when you […]
The time the OldOld Man tried to meet Army Men’s Basketball Coach Jim Crews after a game.
Back in the chair, back watching tv I wouldn’t normally watch. The sun is starting its descent and I’m not out enjoying it. I’m chilling like the dove we found on oldold man Finn’s windshield wipers as we were leaving for dinner n the Florida Gulf Coast / Army NCAA Men’s College Basketball Game. My […]

Reverse Hemingway Method
It’s early afternoon here just off the island. Though Ernest Hemimgway never stepped foot on neither Sanibel or Captiva Island, the official Ernest Hemingway Festival can be found out here during the summer because the local Chamber of Commerce decided to do what Key West presumably didn’t do: get the Hemingway estate’s blessing. I’d guess […]
Another Book of Blues Begun. Almost
The first two chapters in the Book of Blues Prequel have been completed. Two chapters in and I already have to tweak my Book of Blues to tie them together seemlessly. But I’m excited. I have the Book of Blues Prequel outline sketched and within a couple pages of writing, I’ve already went to a […]
“Just like Brian Wilson did,” (“lying in bed” and sleeping and hiding…)
For those who just want the video and lyrics… “Brian Wilson” music video [YouTube] “Brian Wilson” lyrics by Stephen Page “Gordon” by BarenakedLadies on Spotify “No. You’re a writer,” she supported. It only took those 4 simple words said in a back alley Broad Ripple bar around 2:15 AM by a supportive lady with designer […]
