Writer Mick: Blog

Hi All,

I've let myself slip into a state of terrible laziness. Since I've finished writing "The Fortune Of The O'Dells" I actually stopped writing for a few weeks and now it's pure hell to get back into it on a daily basis.

To date I have 8 chapters of the new O'Dell saga done and 10 chapters of the next Strawberry Patch story done.

The today I noticed that I only have 9 weeks of "The Fortune Of The O'Dells" remaining before I need to start the next saga. Needless to say I had a slight freak out and spent a large portion of Thanksgiving and this afternoon writing chapters 11 & 12 of the Strawberry Patch.

Now I just have to finish the next 40 chapters, get them proofread and edited before I can post the first chapter.

I suppose I could blame all this on my muse for not being an evil slave driver, but I can't. It's my fault. I'll get back up to snuff here again tomorrow and Sunday and see how much headway I can make.

Thanks for reading "The Fortune of the O'Dells" and for scoring it to the brink of an 8 score.

I do appreciate your readership and want to honor it with as clean a post as I can provide.

Thanks

Mick

Hi All

Looking at my story stats makes me a little upset. There is one story that is listed as "Inactive and Incomplete".

This is not my fault! I was going to finish it as soon as the NFL posted the schedule of 2020-2021. That was delayed because of the virus. By the time the schedule was released, I was into other projects and then I was able to go back to work.

Finally, I put off the writing of the story until two of the main characters met. Those characters are the Kansas City Chiefs and the Las Vegas Raiders. I am a Chiefs fan, but I treasure the rivalry with the Raiders. When both teams are strong and having great games, the world is awesome.

They beat us a few weeks ago and it was a typical KC v Oak game. Ugly, hard hitting, and fun to watch. On Nov 22 we go to LV and play them, then I will be able to write the final chapter to the book.

I hate posting an incomplete story and will have it finished as fast as possible after Nov 22. I wonder if it is significant that the story is currently ranked #69 on my list of stories?

Hi All

Well we've survived our first ice storm of the season. We're all happy it's football season here in Oklahoma.

I did a slow read through of "I Know You Do" and found some weird wording and a few places with words that had letters left out. In other words, I cleaned it up and posted the rewritten version today.

Things are slowly getting back to normal-ish. I'm back to writing daily and am now making good progress on The Strawberry Patch:Book 4 and on The Passion Of The O'Dells.

As is my habit, I never post a story until it is fully written, so hopefully one of these will be done when I'm done posting "The Fortune Of The O'Dells".

Also, had a granddaughter born on Oct 28, my third granddaughter.

Later

Hi All

Many asked me for more of "You Seen One, You Seen Them All, More Or Less", so I finished it.

Well I added to it. I thought I finished it but there were so many requests for more of it.

Thank you for reading and for the comments

Hi All

Well my muse is having a party on the patio! "Salts" has achieved scores from 1 to 10.

Like I said "sick and twisted" is my muse.
