Hey Folks,
Headed out to the Hovel again. Started by cycling back through the stuff I wrote yesterday, then moved into new stuff. All in all, around 800 new words in the first session.
Up to the house to eat breakfast and get some laundry started.
I put an announcement on Facebook, too, that StoneThread Publishing’s been busy of late.
In addition to the latest Stern Talbot P.I. book, we also just published A WonderFull Life, a memoir. It’s by my wife. The Amazon link is https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BDFXJ4Q. The universal link is https://www.books2read.com/u/3nOarR. Just in case.
Of course, your best bet for any of our books is to buy directly through StoneThread Publishing because we give discounts. (grin)

When I awoke, I thought I’d have a really great day of writing.
I got a fairly good first session (see above), then did some other stuff, wrestled with my 4-Runner for awhile (it’s an ’87 and showing its age), etc. I wrote to my wife,
“Yep, me an’ it, we’re a good match. We both start rough an’ cough some, an’ we both smoke a little.” (grin)
When I went back to the Hovel finally, I just really wasn’t in the mood. I played cards, looked over some other stuff, and finally looked in my mental mirror. “Get over yourself, Harvey. At least write a little more.”
So I did.
See you tomorrow.
