What I Wrote Today on 2/14/20
1004 It’s Friday and I want to flight sim (flight sim/simming is the act of using flight simulation software on one’s computer to simulate any phases of flying an aircraft.) instead of writing. Why? Because I don’t believe that I’ll ever get paid to write anything. And because of that belief it doesn’t matter whatContinue reading “What I Wrote Today on 2/14/20”
The Words I Wrote 021320
I’m frazzled and all I did was get out of bed this morning. I’m fifty-four years old, with the emphasis on old. I don’t sleep well a lot of nights. Let me take that back, I sleep well when I sleep. Most nights I’m wide awake from four to six in the morning. I findContinue reading “The Words I Wrote 021320”
This is What I Wrote 021220
The day is almost over and Lillie will be coming home and I’ve got nothing to show for today. I joined a lot of writing groups on Facebook. I’m hoping that will help but I know I need to show up and do the work. That’s the part that scares me. It’s so difficult toContinue reading “This is What I Wrote 021220”

My Wife’s Trip
It’s coming and I don’t want it to. I know that it’s good because it’s means I’m alive. When you don’t want to face something I’m to afraid to wish it away because maybe I won’t be here. I want to be here, you want to be here to face the trials. It means you’reContinue reading “My Wife’s Trip”
Last Day
of the year and the decade. So what and who cares. I felt I had to type some letters just because it is and maybe that’s good enough. It will have to be. See you in the next year and the next decade. Whatever you do don’t get caught up with new year/decade resolutions, they’reContinue reading “Last Day”
the hard truth…
I can only talk about myself. I work hard at being what I think others would admire me to do when in reality I don’t like physical work. Maybe that isn’t my calling. When I was fourteen years old I worked on a masonry crew. I hated it. I enjoy sit down office jobs. MaybeContinue reading “the hard truth…”
why cant they sit still?
So I’m watching this:https://youtu.be/J4QnwV-qk5k I like Kelly, but she, like all talk show hosts work to hard. Why can’t they just sit still? I’m wondering, are they being instructed to over do the emotions. Look at Tom in this situation. He’s calm. I thought wouldn’t it be nice to have a talk show that’s calm.Continue reading “why cant they sit still?”
confessions of a stay-at-home-husband
A writer is anyone who writes, so that makes me a writer. Which is a joke because if you knew me you know that I’m not a writer. But right now, I want to be a writer again. I’ve tried to be a writer several times in the past but I kept quitting over andContinue reading “confessions of a stay-at-home-husband”
