Morning all. The sun has returned to us after a cloudy and rainy day yesterday. I was not into a good sleep yet when I was awaken by a t-storm at 12:45am. It was right in the neighborhood. You know the kind when the house shakes. Within that rainfall, it decided to pour for about 10 minutes. Kept me up for a while but then I drifted back off to sleep.
Work on.

Those storms are no fun when you are trying to sleep. Hope that doesn't hang around for you, Fuzzy.
It finally stopped raining here yesterday... which was nice. Today and through the weekend it is supposed to be dry and in the mid 50's, for which I am grateful. Have to help my friend Cindy move tomorrow.

I get to work on a building a subwoofer box for my nephew's pickup today. I don't really mind doing it, its just that he is in that typical 16 year old stage. He seems to have no use for me until things like this come up that he wants done . . . then I'm suddenly his favorite uncle (until the project is done).
Mz, good luck with the writing. How is the story coming along?
I'm not as "into" the story this year as much as I was last year's, so it's making it hard to write. I had backed myself into a corner, but I think I've found a way out. Hopefully that'll help me write more this weekend. I need to be somewhat close to the end by Thanksgiving.
Listening to authors speak on writing, they frequently have to work their way out of corners they seem to be backed into. Thats half the fun. I am sure it will work out well for you.
You'll have to post the story when it is finished.
Oh yeah, I'm in the middle of the book rut. There's this great pep talk from Neil Gaiman that's perfect. He says he was in the middle of writing a book when he decided it was crap. The characters were cardboard, the story was going nowhere. He called his agent and told her that he wanted to scrap this book and start on another. Her reply was, "Oh, you're at THAT part of the book." She told him that he does this for nearly every project. It's just a typical writer thing.
Just getting around the forum this morning. The NEEDY ONE is back from the Mobile job and now I get to beg for paperwork... but on the flip side, he usually buys lunch on Friday's, so it's a fair trade off ...
Happy Day! It's Friday!

Happy Friday all! I'm glad the work week is over, and next week is only 2 days; teachers have it in their contract to get Wednesday off too for the holiday so all school buildings will be closed for 3 days.
Ughh... This turned out to be a very ugly Friday. I had to cut lay-off checks for the job in Missouri. The masons and ironworkers will be traveling out Sunday and the SHE BOSS could have come in tomorrow and print dummy checks so that the project manager could cut them at the job site on the field account, but then that would have taken away from her Christmas shopping... I wouldn't be so uptight except that payroll is such a long and drawn out process and always so last minute when it's an out of town job.
Ok, I've ranted...
