​This was a nice day. The temps were up, and almost all the snow is gone. Yes, after three inches of snow and ice yesterday today it’s mostly gone. I usually have maybe 20 to 25 packages on a Thursday, but today I had 53 stops with 54 packages. I didn’t have too many problem-stops (just a few unknown to the system locations and two apartment stops). It did take a lot of time. I got to my first stop at around 7:20 am and didn’t finish until around 2:00 pm. I needed the stops after taking yesterday to deal with a family issue. If tomorrow is my usual, then I will have enough to cover the money I lost. I just hope the large snow storms are done for the year. They are predicting snow on Wednesday (2/27), but now real accumulation as of right now. It will be nice to get back to my usual without thinking about snow.
 
I drove around today thinking about my new story and how I need to keep working on it. I typed about 1800 words, but I think there are gaps in places that will make it hard for people that aren’t me (as in everyone else) follow what I was thinking. I plan to keep this going tonight and post the first part as soon as I think it’s ready, but that’s not tonight. I posted the last part of Mob-Rule yesterday around 5pm, and as of typing, this has had 1 view on its own. I will keep going this weekend as well as starting on what will be the biggest project yet, but more on that later. Part of that will be coming up with a new name for the series: All-American Killer Girl because it won’t fit the direction of the stories and it kind of sucks. I will keep working on all that with more to come………
 
Thank you for your time. 

​To those people that drive to and from Cleveland every day in this crappy weather, I salute you. That drive sucked. I had this family thing to do today, and it was up in the CLE. The hourlong drive out was snowy but fine. I know what it is like to drive in snow. The trip back was an icy, snowy nightmare. Thank god I took the day off to take care of this thing.
 
I finished the story yesterday and set up the second section to post around 1pm then I posted the final part around 5pm. I started a new serialized story I will post in short story form about a man working in a fallout shelter after the world was eradicated by some unknown force. The first couple of stories will lay out this new overpopulated world. Picture an apartment building made for 100 with 4,000 people in it. The first will layout the initial entry with part two on the eventual push back on the new rules and way of life. I will post the first part of the first story as soon as I can. My goal is to try and finish that story so it’s as consistent as I can. I won’t be focusing on one story. When all parts are posted, then I will go to another story going back and forth with storylines. I will work on this story, but I will also work on others posting as I go with more to come………
 
 
Thank you for your time.

​I woke up this morning with my back in knots. All morning I had this backache that wouldn’t go away for a while. I had my usual route with what would have been my favorite kind of winter weather (sunny around 10 going up to 32 degrees (Fahrenheit)), but my back wouldn’t let me enjoy it. I have a family thing to do tomorrow, so I took the day off giving me time away and just maybe some time off my back.
 
All day I tried to think about the new story, but my mind kept going back to the thoughts of the next larger story. I went over the characters and how they would fit as well as just how large this story would be and the idea it would be too big for someone like me to work without messing it up. I think the new story will go two maybe three parts with a return to the slightly awkward storylines. Eventually, I will also add to the other stories and create new content while I dissect the idea of book four the book that will follow Wendy’s War with more to come……….
 
Thank you for your time.

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………...

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.)
