Summer is Here!

Published by Don on June 20, 2016

Monday, June 20,2016 Summer begins today.  I am in Nashville, TN, and it was, maybe 91 degrees here today, but comfortable.  I just discovered yesterday that several of our readers are in Alaska.  Wow.  How is the temp up there today???  (It’s -70 in Antarctica today.) I worked on my author platform mailing list a little bit today, but worked on it a lot last night.  In the background the TV was playing a 007…

Chapter Seven is probably NOT going to write itself.

Published by Don on May 25, 2016

It has been a strange day today.  A customer just decided not to meet me at our appointment in a small town about 30 miles away.  Another customer told me on the phone, “I don’t want to hear all that old ‘customer service’ crap.  I just want you to do what I am telling you.” At the moment it is late in the afternoon, and I have a pile more work to get out today. …
