Weekend at the Journal

Weekend at the Journal

Published by Don on August 17, 2024

There’s a lot to get done. i have a new micro-book finished and i am trying to finish editing it. then it’s off to a free-lance formatter when I get my editing done. HERE is the book. I’m pretty jazzed about it. It’s gonna end up about 7000 or 8000 words on around 20+ pages. I have been an independent for forty years, and I wish I had had this book from the beginning.

Meet Your Readers or Mow the Lawn

Published by Don on August 8, 2024

That’s what my agent told me. These peeps are not an angry mob. Actually, they are rather happy. And they hold the key to whether or not I have a lawn to mow. Besides they are nice folks, and I would much rather be talking to them. I have written a couple of books though, by some standards, they aren’t very good. i never let that stop me and kept on writing. My English teachers…

Published by Don on July 12, 2024

Summer is running away Just a short note to say that, unbelievably enough, summer has reached its crescendo, with FOJ, and here we go slip-sliding our way to fall. It’s been a year now since I came home from the hospital. We celebrated the fourth, and we celebrated my birthday. I still miss being as I was, walking the way I used to, using my left hand.
