The light . . .

-
Well, 2019 seems to be getting off to a nice start. We have gotten plenty of snow, which should make for a calmer summer, where fires are concerned (fingers crossed). Also, Steve has managed to avoid the worst of them, thankfully during his hour and a half commutes. He's either stayed in Denver, or had been off, or the snow had stopped by the time he needed to leave.

On that subject--we found out several days ago that Steve's transfer date to the Springs has been moved up to February 11th! An end to his eight months of commuting three hours a day is in sight! The proverbial light at the end of the tunnel. I'm so proud of him.

I have also started work on the initial notes and storyline of my next book, while Reunion goes through several editing stages. I think I'll refrain a bit longer on revealing the storyline itself, but I will say that the subject is something I am actually terrified of. So we'll see if facing your fears and all that shit is real.

By the way, the above picture is of Benjamin. He's one of our regulars here at the Cabin Above the Clouds. The deer, turkeys, bears, and occasional mountain lion all seem to be thriving and healthy. You can feel the energy of life when there are fifteen or twenty deer walking around outside your door.

Although it's winter, and most everything is buried beneath a foot of snow, there's a feeling of exhilaration and new beginnings that seems to be encircling our mountain home. And I think it's getting stronger.

It seems a long time coming, but, I'm looking forward to what tomorrow brings.

2019

We've started a new year. We've started a new opportunity to be a better person. A happier person. It's no secret that I'm one of the worst bloggers around. Why? Because no one reads it. And that had been a difficult thing for me to handle for years. So I feel I don't need to try.  2018 was a bad year. No only because there's a new problem with the cunt in the White House every day, but with people in general. People have gotten more violent and uncaring. As a society, it is clear that we are declining.  It's been extremely difficult attempting to stay positive over the last 12+ months. But that is going to change. I am going to fight for positivity. No more depression. No more doubting myself or my writing. If people don't want to read my blog, big fucking deal! I don't care anymore. The time for change is now! No more thoughts of suicide (yes, there have been days). No more self-depreciation. I will do whatever I can to be successful

Freedom of Speech?

  It’s been a while since I’ve posted here. It’s been a while since I’ve done any type of writing. I don’t even have a website anymore. I wasn’t planning on writing anything, probably eve again, but lately, things have been changing.  The “Supreme” Court has been making very dangerous changes to the laws in our country. Particularly six of the judges. Six CONSERVATIVE judges, who are forcing us to go back to the 1950’s! Their latest stunt is allowing businesses to discriminate against LGBT+ people if they don’t want to serve them, because it’s against their religion. They’re claiming it falls under the First Amendment: freedom of speech.  Oh, yeah, we’ll, here’s some freedom of speech for you: Fuck them!!! Fuck all Republicans!!! Fuck Donald tRump and his illiterate cult. Fuck all the ignorant morons who claim being “woke” is bad.  Here’s, some freedom of speech: I wish I was able to tell the cunt that walks in wearing a MAGA terrorist hat that their not welcome in our place of busines

Finished another one

After an almost seven month break from writing, yesterday I finished another book. It is the first installment of a new new trilogy called My Leprechaun . The first book is titled The End of the Rainbow . I'm excited about this series, but I'm also filled with angst. Finishing a book and getting it ready to put out into the world and see what it does is usually an exciting time. There's always that chance that this book will be the one that puts my name on the map. In pure blog openness,  that's what I had hoped for when I released Reunion last October. It was my first ghost story, and I thought it would make a huge splash. But it didn't. I fought for months just to get a few reviews.  The excitement fizzled and faded. And something inside me turned off. That was the start of my break from writing.  I was sure I was done working so hard for nothing in return. But there was this story that I had wanted to tell for years. I had almost finished the first draft months
