A New Story Posted to Stanbrough Writes
I just remembered this morning it’s been a week or so since I posted a story over there, so I posted one. To see it, click the Story of the Week tab over at https://harveystanbroughwrites.com/.
The title of the current story is “Going Back.” There are several other stories below that in different genres. This one has a butt-ugly cover but it’s a pretty good story. I’ve often thought of expanding it into a novel.
No fiction writing yesterday. I watched football all day. Today I’ll return to the story, but once the sun comes up I’ll also be working with my neighbor to repair the water well and restore service to our house.
Talk with you again then.

See “Tesla driver who fell asleep…” at https://interestingengineering.com/transportation/tesla-driver-autopilot-trigger-police-officers. A new candidate for Moron of the Week and maybe story ideas.
See “Georgia vs. TCU” at https://www.si.com/fannation/college/cfb-hq/ncaa-football-picks/georgia-tcu-game-college-football-playoff-national-championship-prediction-preview. Not about writing, but TCU being there is a big deal.
