Midweek round up. Hey everyone how we doing? With no work done today due to an engineer coming to confirm our cooker is indeed dead I'm sitting at 38,000 words on Book 21 #WIP

Hope you're having a great week. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž

Ah, the old midweek roundup. We're around halfway through Book 20 #WIP and things are dangerous. Gotta finish tomorrow... might sneak a little Saturday session in if I'm feeling it. ๐Ÿ‘

Hope your week is going well #WritingCommunity #Writersky

All right, so the little manchild was sick Friday and left my #WIP at 32,000 words which is short of my target but what can you do. Little manchild is better now so back to school tomorrow; my head will then meet grind stone and we get the back of book 20 broken. ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž

STATION DARK #1: Signal Bleed The heater clicked once, then died.

What started as a limited series has grown more than Iโ€™d ever expected. I am so thankful to the community of followers and supporters I found on Substack. The 2nd arc of STATION DARK, a 1980โ€™s Midwestern horror, starts on Monday.

Flying over snow covered mountains in Montana.

Flying over snow covered mountains in Montana.

chiseled memories
a familiar gait
resolutions in real time
patterned palaces
where the Earth
holds the truthful energy
so free and independent
loyal and raw born
a sharing of stories
worth keeping alive

It's strange that I've had to write seventeen first draft novels to get to this point. This was one of the first stories I created for this series; fifteen months later I begin to write it with the entirety of the world I've built lifting it up... ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ˜Ž
