Warning: Short bitchy message alert
Today sucked………. The weather was supposed to end before I left for my route, but instead, it got worse with snow, ice, and slush. The combination made the roads and more than a few driveways slick. I almost slid into someone’s personal ravine right off their driveway. Something about just 1” to 1.5” of snow that has people and cities thinking they don’t have to do anything for the roads or driveways. I had a good route spread across the snow-covered slushy streets of Medina County. The weather and conditions made it a slow go. I didn’t finish and get home until about 2 pm and just as I sat down to work on the site my family shows up, and I put the stories down for the day. I am finally working on a new story in the Slightly Awkward storyline and I hope to get something done for Tuesday but that will come down to what’s waiting for me in the warehouse tomorrow, but no matter what there will be more……… Thank you for your time

OK, after more than a little time of staring at a blank screen (and surfing YouTube on the Roku) I got nothing. Not a darn thing. I think I need to take a drive to find a story in my head because sitting here watching YouTube and the weather change (sort of) all I can do is worry about tomorrow. This means as of right now I won’t have anything for Monday (with most likely Monday being a long day). I hope to get something started but in about an hour or so from this posting I need to start dinner. Tomorrow will come and go along with every other day in our lives with more to come………
Thank you for your time. I started out yesterday to write my first story following the three-part or act structure. The story was going to be set around the first hour of an alien invasion with the protagonist being an eclectic meter reader and his attempts to fight back. I typed the start with who he is why he is and those around him then I started the invasion and about 1000+ words I realized something. It sucked. I mean the story was bad. I only had two characters, and one of them was just a voice over the radio and a stereotype. The entire plot was just bad with cutter-sized ships and eagle-sized drones either abducting people (under 30) or killing them (over 30). The more I read it, the less I wanted to keep going, and with it being just a short story I didn’t see the need to finish. That story is on the side for now until I can really put something together and I don’t know, build a bigger long-form story.
This left me with nothing to post. About 6: am I woke up thinking about Monday and what was coming weather wise. It made me think about my work day. After breakfast, I sat down to type something to post, but all I could do was think about Monday and the weather, so I typed a description of my average workday. I gave some detail, but I left out parts such as people’s name and other finer details out. Sometime in the future, I’ll type some more of these Autobiographical Stories. Today I hope to get back to my usual work and maybe have something for tomorrow but either way, there will be more to come………. Thank you for your time. This was a quiet day with most of it trying to start a new story while following a structure where I introduce my main character and build up to the start of the action. This new story is a little different from my usual, but it also follows my usual snarky slightly unlikeable character I seem to write in every story. The story will be shorter than the first one from earlier today. Today was also laundry day, but that has nothing to do with what I’m talking about right now (I stopped typing to check the laundry). I hope to keep this going (or get it started) today and post it on Sunday.
From there I don’t know what I will be able to do on Monday and Tuesday. Both days are my busiest with Tuesday being Blue Apron day (20 to 30 Blue Apron packages). I will keep going reading, learning and writing and hopefully I will build a new understanding of the process and start a new long-form story soon. I’m still on the fence over the story Evading Dragons on Hub Pages. Part of that is the story has a good rating on the site, but another part is just how big of a world I made for the storyline. The story is set in the future where genetically created dragons made to guard the rich from the poor and each other after the fall of civilization turn on mankind and started an apocalypse killing off most of humanity. The remaining people have lost most of what they knew about the past and live in fear of the dragons with a few worshiping them. The story follows a small group of people escaping the destruction of their village and their quest to find the mythical city of New York. I have ten parts done in a style that fits Hub Pages but would need some revising to fit the site and a long-form story. They meet new people as well as lose people along the way while learning more about the past and what they might find up north. One part tells the story about the intelligent deer that took over the city of Baltimore called Deer style. The story is a little strange but so is most of my crap. No matter whether I do this or something else there will be more to come………... Thank you for your time. Warning: Short message Alert
This was a nice day, and if it were a little warmer, then it would have been perfect. I had a good route with just one minor problem that I was able to work around and end at a good time. With nothing to say bad, I’m going to just talk about the story. I published part three, and I’m working on the final part of this story. Tomorrow I plan on developing a story using the traditional arc publishing it in parts as I finish them. As of right now, I don’t have a story, but when I do there will be more to come……... Thank you for your time. Today was nice in comparison to the rest of the week. It was cold, but this is Ohio in the winter. Cold is just one of those things you must get used to along with crappy weather and bad roads. This weather season has been horrible for the roads with pot canyons rather than potholes. As of the last forecast it is supposed to rain in the early morning then clear up for the rest of Friday and who knows just maybe some sun? What I do know is that nothing lasts and the calm we are about to experience just means the wild weather is coming back harder than ever (I just hope I’m wrong). We have had snow coming down in April as well as winters that ended in February so who knows?
The cake turned out good with the creamy caramel from the instant pot sweetened condensed milk recipe. Sometime soon I plan on making an apple spice cake with this caramel. When I do, I’ll post it here with some pictures. I posted the next part in the short story “Into the Water,” and I will keep working on it with the story coming to a sort of end by part three or four with the option of continued stories in the future with more stories to come……... Thank you for your time. (I already hate and regret the name Into the Water just like every other name I have ever used. Most of the story will be on an island, not the water.)
rinse repeat. The day was a series of snow and sun. I got home and tried something new I saw on YouTube.
Take a can of sweeten condensed milk. I will try and post a link to this amazing thing. I made this sauce and spread it across a cake and then some frosting. I posted the first part of a short story on the new page for Short Stories 2019. This will go for about three to four parts and maybe other stories in the future. Part two will be posted when finished along with other stories and more to come………… Thank you for your time. Warning: Talking a lot about nothing
The week of weather changed from the snow and cold to wet today with a return to cold and snow tomorrow. Yesterday’s snow became today’s three inches of slush and nasty. My feet got wet on the first stop and stayed wet all “F”ing day. All this wet is going to be tomorrow’s ice making a bad day worse. Right now, it’s hard to think that today’s weather will seem so much better than Wednesday. I just hope tomorrow is going to be a lighter delivery day. I don’t have anything to post today. I wanted to work on a story, but some family crap, as well as a late return home, kept me from working on it. I am working on a short story, but I don’t think it will go anywhere. I will work on this tomorrow and hopefully have something soon. If this keeps up, I’ll take one of my stories from Hub Pages and rework them to fit the tone of this site (crap them up). What I don’t want to do is type something too like my other crappy stuff. I hope to get back to work and have more to come………… soon. Thank you for your time Warning: A short weather- and work-related message
I woke up to find two inches of snow covering the deck, driveway, and road. The road wasn’t touched by a plow. I went out and cleaned off the deck then the driveway. The snow was wet packable snow good for snowballs and snowmen, and it won’t be sticking around with 50 degrees and rain tomorrow (as of right now). This is the typical Ohio crap weather going back and forth with extremes. Tomorrow is Tuesday the busiest day of the week for me. I am close to finishing the current edit of the story. I hope to finish it tonight and do the final posting tonight. Doing this edit has shown me how badly I need to lay these stories out if only to stop all the continuity errors. From there I will start working on some short stories. I won’t have time tomorrow, but I will try and get this going as soon as I can with more to come……. Thank you for your time. Warning: Short angry about the weather and lazy alert
Here comes the snow again. Right when I needed clear roads to make up for all the days, I missed along with the loan I took out to pay for the car work. They are calling for 1 to 3 inches both here and in Medina. The next couple of weeks according to the weather channel is basically saying that rodent on PA was either a lying POS or was just wrong. I started to review the finished story, but it’s taking way more time than I thought it would with plenty of errors and basic mistakes. I kept going, and I hoped to republish the final part today in multiple formats but as of typing this I’m not going to finish tonight. Tomorrow is going to suck with the weather and typical Monday load meaning I might not finish this tomorrow or Tuesday (my busiest day). For now, I’m just going to stop and take a break from work. My head hurts, and I am starting rush through. I will finish when I can make the time with more to come…………. Thank you for your time. |
