Hey! Remember me? I’ve been a bit distracted lately. Mostly because I’ve been spending a lot of time in my fantasy writing world. This last month was a big push to the end of the current novel I’ve been writing. Guess what? I finished the rough draft! It’s been an amazing 106,000 word journey. This one was different than the ones that came before. It took on a life of it’s own and I felt like I was just simply…
It’s been a while since I just told a story. The idea for this one has been sitting in my drafts folder for quite a while. I am going to tell you how I got all my scars and broken bones. Exciting stuff, huh? I know! Let me give you the tally before we do a deep dive into each one. I have four scars and three broken bones. Actually, that’s not quite true. The last incident involved multiple broken…
I saw my new transplant doctor in Dallas last Thursday. Here’s a little snippet of the conversation: Doctor: So, what can I do for you today? Me: Hook me up with a liver transplant. Doctor: OK, that’s our end goal here. Me: Cool, so can we get this done like next month? Doctor: Whoa! Pump the brakes there! I’ll spare you the rest of the conversation. Basically, things are not going to progress as quickly as we hoped. The doctor…
The LeeLander landed in Franklin, NC for a couple of weeks last year in November. I had always wanted to visit Franklin because it’s an Appalachian Trail Town. I know, big shocker there, right? The bonus to this trip was that the daughter I had just made a connection with earlier in the year, also lived there. You won’t see anything about it in the video, though. It was our first time meeting IRL (other than when I held her…
I’m Iron Man! Oh wait, no, that was Tony Stark. I’m Radioactive Man! Yesterday, my cancer doc implanted a gamma radiation pellet in my liver to kill that pesky tumor that has taken up residence. Soon after the surgery I had to get on Facebook and post about it of course. This is what I said: So far, no manifestations of super powers. I do have restrictions because I am now actually emitting low levels of radiation. I have to…
Not Halloween 2021, Halloween 2020. It could be argued that all of 2020 was a trick, but this specific one occurred almost a year ago and I figured I should probably post this video before it is eclipsed by the Halloween from a year later. Enjoy!
Still consistently running about a year behind, here is the latest The RVidiots video. Enjoy!
Last weekend I got to meet one of my heroes! It wasn’t an actor, singer, or reality star. It wasn’t even one of the people that are the real heroes like firefighters, medical professionals, or the majority of good policeman. She is just my hero. If it hadn’t been for her, I wouldn’t be posting anything right now because I wouldn’t have a blog. If that had been the case, then I am also more than certain I never would…
More like too many projects in my Scrivener folder. I briefly mentioned before that I was working on three books a couple months ago. Since then, I started working on a short story and another novel. I thought I would be devoting the lion’s share of my writing efforts to Finn’s Descent, the follow up book to Sawyer’s Run. I have the general outline of the book laid out and written a few chapters but then the story stalled out….
