One of my 2021 goals is to update LiveJournal almost daily.  I want to get back in the habit of updates here, mostly in reagrds to progress in my writing and podcasting.  I will probably pin this to the top of the blog and keep it updated.  (Is that possible on LiveJournal?)  See my goals below.

Writing / Podcasting Goals for 2021

So I've decided some things that I haven't established up until now.  First of all, Lee's last name is now Huelet.  I might also want to set this so that Lee grew up in the '70's, but we'll see about that.  I'm coming up to a critical point which I always planned to go a certain way, but now I'm tempted to drastically change it.  It will change ( Read more... )

No, I haven't quit this live-writing project.  I've just been busy.  But I have been thinking a lot about this story quite a bit and developing it in my mind, so that is a good thing. It is growing from what I had initially intended.  I'd let you in on it, but that would ruin the story for you, assuming that is that anybody follows the story as it ( Read more... )

I know why I don't write very much. Well, first of, I'm lazy.  But besides that, I'm slow.  It takes me forever just to write a few paragraphs. Not always, but often.  The major factor I think, like I said earlier, is that I can't turn off the editor.  I should just be writing and writing freely, not worried about good sentence structure, or ( Read more... )

So I missed Sunday.  I didn't write much yesterday, but below is what I did write.  We'll see how today goes.

Months passed. Life didn't stop just because Lee killed a cat, or because he was having bad dreams.  Jen got a job working the front office for a pediatrician.

So in order to get into the feel of the story again, I read through what I had written so far.  Then I probably broke some kind of rule associated with live blogging a story.  I started to edit.  Some tweaking a word or phrase here, adding some sentances there.  I tightened up a few things to make it more concise.  I seem to always do this editting ( Read more... )

That was a different story.  In his dreams, he saw the grizzled jawbone, the hole in the scull, the blood on the driveway, and both eyes, one dangling, and one staring blankly.  He watched the cat spasm in a circle.  But worse was the sound--the low, droning growl, punctuated by regular smacks of metal against flesh.

I did write yesterday.  It is not much, but, by George, I still want credit for it.

But the stinky old cat stayed with him.  Well, not so much that anyone would notice, even Lee, as he busily took on the day-to-day ramblings of life.  But his dreams.

Ongoing Disclaimer:  This is my first real attempt to write a horror story.  First of all, that means that it won’t be very good.  Next, people who are used to reading my stories may not be used to more graphic elements.  Also, though there are some elements of this story that come from my life, I hope that people do not think that the whole of ( Read more... )
