The Undiscovered Country (Book) http://www.Writing.Com/main/profile.php/blog/amarq What am I doing? Wracking my brain for an idea for Nanowrimo. Do I want to write fantasy? Another science fiction based on an existing character? An alternate reality? Try my hand at suspense or even -- gulp -- historical? Maybe I'll simply use the writing.com story app and see what it gives me. I know what I really need to do: Stop worrying. ...[Read Full Post] Tue, 11 Oct 2011 21:20:04 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/736653 Spam. We all get it, and it seems blogs are the target of choice. Spammers know that most internet traffic goes to blogs, so it's only reasonable that's where they go. Luckily many blog hosting sites have tools available to keep spam from building up, either in our email boxes or as comments. My WordPress blog actually puts all the spam in a f...[Read Full Post] Thu, 18 Aug 2011 23:53:05 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/731931 [Link To User frasier] commented on my earlier "It's Time" entry: Faith is in your heart and soul, you don't have to shout it out loud for it to be known. As long as I have known you it has been a struggle for you at times, but each time you come through. I remember when you wanted a baby so badly...and now you have Thomas. Seriou...[Read Full Post] Mon, 08 Aug 2011 23:17:28 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/731022 I know I promised to talk about faith in my next entry, but right now I have no motivation to do much of anything but sit in front of the air conditioner. However, I did want to point you to the second interview with Ashford Radio I did on Saturday. You can find it at [Link: 'http://www.ashfordradio.com.'] Click on the second microphone (Studi...[Read Full Post] Sun, 31 Jul 2011 16:42:32 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/730233 First of, to listen to the show I did on Saturday, go to [Link: 'http://www.ashfordradio.com'] . From there click on the first microphone that says "Radio Studio A". From there scroll down until you see my name. Click on that and the show will start playing. Overall, I think it went well. I didn't stutter too much. At least I don&#...[Read Full Post] Mon, 25 Jul 2011 23:46:24 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/729738 When I started writing my first book, I couldn't wait for it to be published. I wanted to see my name in print right now! That was ten years ago. Sure my name has seen print with three short stories, as many articles and a self-published novella, but my novel is still in limbo. I'm not concerned about it. In these last ten years, God has taught m...[Read Full Post] Thu, 21 Jul 2011 23:34:45 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/729361 In my last entry, I described how well my dad was doing, and for about two weeks, he was. But then he went in to see the doctor and they discovered the cancer had picked up speed. The chemo was no longer making any difference. They gave him another chemo option, but warned him that even though it might give him a few more weeks, it would also make him...[Read Full Post] Wed, 20 Apr 2011 02:16:15 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/722670 In my previous entry [Link To User partyof5] said, " . . . I can also tell you there are a lot of positives that come out of such a thing" with regards to my dad. At first glance it can be hard to find anything positive to note about a loved one dying of cancer. Heck, it takes more than two. Sometimes one must have a microscope to find even ...[Read Full Post] Sun, 20 Mar 2011 16:00:19 EDT http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/720165 In fact, I despise sympathy. Oh, I can give it well enough, but accepting it from others makes my skin crawl. I discovered this only a few weeks ago, and it took me a while to figure out why. But first, a little back-story to give it proper context. The day after Christmas we receive a phone call from my dad. He was in the hospital because of sp...[Read Full Post] Sun, 20 Feb 2011 16:17:11 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/718208 I wish I had one. A really good one, that is. One blog I frequent is "Writer Beware," and the latest entry touches on how not to use social media. She went on to add a link to another blog that describe further how not to use it which led to a third talking about how to set up an internet presence that people will gravitate to. The three li...[Read Full Post] Fri, 17 Dec 2010 19:37:15 EST http://www.Writing.Com/main/books/entry_id/713770
