It's shaping up to be a nice day. The sun is shining, and it's already in the 50s out there. I just opened and closed the patio door. It's pleasant out there. This morning I tried unsuccessfully to get into my domain. I learned...

Writing in the Next Year

celticeagle @celticeagle (189833) • Boise, Idaho 11 Jan 23

After one of @TheHorse's most recent posts about writing his book, I started thinking about my own writing. I have had a penchant for writing for as long as I can remember. Back in the '80s, I was a member of a Science Fiction...

Unexpected Complication

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (323168) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 13 Sep 20

Working on Vendetta yesterday, I wondered about something and looked up the book on the drives, and found I have two copies of Vendetta. The original before I started reworking it, and the reworked version. I've never had that...

March 28 - What I'm Thankful for Today

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (323168) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 28 Mar 20

Today was a bit rough. Boredom hit me square between the eyeballs. I finished the notifications and opened one manuscript after another and closed them and went to watch TV. I needed to finish my steps and get my bicep curls...

Can It Get Slower

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (323168) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 30 May 19

I probably shouldn't ask that and then it will. The site has been slow for a couple of days now and just about drives me luny. Other than that, I worked on three manuscripts today. I had some figuring out to do on one of them,...

Took a Break

Valerie J. Routhieaux @just4him (323168) • Green Bay, Wisconsin 3 Feb 17

It's been hard for me to get into notifications the last few days. Between being overly tired and not getting much sleep, and being in writing mode, I haven't been here as much as I usually am. The good news in all that is how...

I pulled up my manuscript, read the last completed chapter, and drew a blank. I hate it when I need to write and can't. So I watched a couple episodes of a series I started yesterday on Netflix and came back to it, and still...

jdalaqui @jdalaqui (1073) • Philippines 19 Oct 12

I am a true believer of God's Word and I am confident enough that what we have today is really God's Word. However, as you open your ears, there are people who attack the validity and reliability of the Bible. As a Christian, how...
