Woah? I haven’t posted anything here in years? Yeah – I guess I kinda gave up on “blogging” a number of years ago when only one of all the posts I’ve done ever got any attention. Perhaps, my limited time and focus should be on other creative endeavors, honey do list projects, practicing my drums, etc. Anyhow, I reserve the right to come in here when the moment calls for it, and dump my thoughts. I’ve been writing more lately on one of my book projects, which is good! “Astra Engineer” is progressing. When I get into a habit, the creativity can spill over. and I think this little exercise is one of those times. Yesterday, I finished listening to a series of books on Audible. Spoiler: I loved it. I felt like I needed to write a little “story” about it, in support of it’s author. I did, and I posted it on Goodreads and Amazon and on my Author page on Facebook. Why not put it here too? It was fun to write. Here it is:

First just sports, because that’s what I’d be doing (and have now for a couple of years) but soon after, I branched out trying many genres.

Katee Sackhoff and Karl Urban are two good actors in my book. Both stars have new series that released on the same day, July 26th, 2019. As I did a little research on the two humans, I discovered that they had been dating (no longer – see correction message at the bottom)! But first…

When I see a movie coming out that I think I’d be interested, and I’m aware that it’s based on a book I haven’t read, I always make an effort to read the book first. If you haven’t done this, you are probably thinking something like “Why would you want to ruin the movie?”. This post is largely about answering that question, and possibly convincing you to give it a try if you have not.

My favorite book on writing is On Writing by the master, Stephen King. Printed on the dust jacket on the inside flap is a quote from the book “If you don’t have the time to read, you don’t have the time or the tools to write.” I often...
