In other news, the other day I started trying to keep a daily word count goal so I can try to get more of my book completed. I set it at 300 words. Hopefully I can keep to it, and get more than that done once in a while. I figure 300 words I can get done easily after work in the afternoons, and get at least that much if not more done on weekends. I've been doing pretty good with it so far this week. Wish me luck that I can keep at it.
Wishing a happy and safe Independence Day to all :) What a day it's been, with Hurricane Arthur brushing by overnight and this morning. Thankfully it wasn't bad and we only got hit with the edge of it. We've definitely been through worse tropical storms and hurricanes. This wasn't much more than just a moderately bad normal storm, with only an inch or two of rain and wind gusts up to around 50 mph.

I just created a new blog page on Wordpress. You can follow this new companion blog here. I will continue to post here as well, so keep following this blog, too, please.
Felt like sharing a little poem I wrote a few years ago.
Panther Black as Night It hides in the shadows, Bright golden orbs Watching the movements Of the unsuspecting before it; Then, suddenly, it strikes, And Death claims yet another victim As the Panther snatches its Prey. You can find more poems and some short stories, as well as few chapters of the book I'm currently working on, on my AuthorsDen site. I've just started back working on the book now that the short story I was asked for is done. I don't have much done right now, but it's a start and getting me thinking about it again. Hoping to have the current chapter finished soon. Felt I should share this link to a really good article an author friend of mine, K.S. Brooks, wrote about how important reviews are for authors and selling their books:
http://www.indiesunlimited.com/2014/06/03/why-reviews-matter/ So please, if you buy a book, leave a review. Well, I've finally made a little headway. I finished the short story I was asked to write and sent it back to the guy who asked me for it. Hopefully he'll like it. So now I can get back to trying to finish the book that I've been working on. I have a couple chapters already planned out that just need to be typed up and fleshed out, but still have a little ways to go after them to complete the book.
Allow me to indulge myself for a moment and share links to a couple of authors I know.
Karen Thompson has a couple of children's books out. One is about a therapy cat and one about three feral kittens. Karen Malena has a three true-life books out, and another book on the way. Please check them out. You know how you plan on doing one thing, and something else manages to get in the way? Yeah. I guess that's life, though. I'd intended to work on trying to finish my book, but things just tended to get in the way and get me sidetracked these past couple of months. I'm going to try to get back to it now, though. First I have a small short story I've been asked by someone to write for them that I need to do first. Wish me luck.
Jeanne After getting 6 inches of snow or so last night, I have another snow day from work (we got 3 inches last week, giving me a snow day then). I will see if I can get a decent amount of writing done on my book today. Last week I managed to find enough time to get a page written, so hopefully I can at least get that much done again, if not more.
