So…entrenched in the camp, tools sharpened and readied to go…and I’ve got no fight in me. Can’t write. Well, at least, creatively about what I want to write about ….them Books of Blues. So, I checked Facebook to see what friends were up to. Then I looked on the right to see there were friend […]
Distractions
Getting into the habit of getting into the habit
I’m just leaving a note to remember to take time to write. Getting into the habit of getting into the habit, so to speak… Ever had to do that before? Trying not to live this way: Once upon a time, I had a YouTube video embedded here. YouTube changed their codes. I never updated the […]
The Disconnect Between Indiana Career Connect & Indiana Workforce Development Unemployment Claimant Self Service Site
2018 Update: I haven’t lived in Indiana in nearly 5 years. I’m not sure how their site works anymore, but if this post is still relevant and helps, I’m glad it helped. I leave it up for archival and self-reminders. According to the Indiana State Workforce Development Self Service Claimant Unemployment Website, all you have […]
“Work, then Rest.” Not “Work, Work, Work,” and “Rest, Rest, Rest”…
(I’m working towards this scene, but forgetting to rest as I go) I woke up, got prepared for a meeting in New Buffalo, MI, and called to confirm. They answered, said it would be better if I backed it up a day, and I was none more thankful. Now I’m backing up my trip to […]
The writer’s block continues. Thank you, Hulu
I’ve still got three things to do before I can actually write a chapter in Book of Blues Prequel. But once those things are done, then its just me and those Book of Blues. A watching the final season of Royal Pains should do the trick. For me, writer’s block seems to be a forced […]
Summer of Cornhole in Indiana
A friday night in Duneland. Much like how the card game Euchre grasped our area forefathers’ attention, “Cornhole” has Pied Pipered the state of Indiana. Also known as “Bean Bags,” Cornhole has worked its way from the college towns into the fabric of every mill town, state road intersection township, and watering hole found between Illinois […]
When to Make Professional Decisions in Your Private Life
Max Power’s words still hit home a day later. He’s right. I need to take my journey to publishdom with more of a professional attitude despite my personal entwining with the project. My goals ain’t going to accomplish themselves. There might be a little improvise and a little compromise, but it will still take uncompromising […]
Recreation – The Simple Things I’m Forgetting
I keep tellin’ a buddy of mine that balance of work and recreation is needed in life. If you don’t do both you’ll have neither. My buddy calls my advice hypocritical. There’s a point in that logic. I keep preachin’ it but I never end up doing it. Playin’ ’round and lookin’ up stuff for […]
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 […]
That Do Something Else
In beat with previous concessions, instead of lacing up walking shoes and working up a sweat, I’m engaged in OldOld man Finn’s favorite long-standing Saturday Night tradition: watching The Lawrence Welk Show My aunt is grumbling over the fact that there’s still 20 minutes to go. My mom is pointing out the comb-overs: “poor guys.” […]
