Go in with a Plan

To break up the log jam of short stories and novels that are floating around in my head, there's now a plan of action.

To wit: write a first page for each. Allow myself to write crap if that's what comes out. Then, see which one(s) I feel an urge to continue. Go with the flow.

The short stories are good fodder for Amazon shorts, where I 've been pre-approved. One is even a kid's story.

Baby Hippo
Cat on Ice

Afghanistan thriller
1928 California Noirish

Surely something will speak to me. 25 years in information systems needs finishing, too. Non-fiction. Kind of memoirish, but not confessional, if you know what I mean.

We had one of those old sixties meals tonight: Beef Stroganoff, the old recipe from the New York Times cookbook. Very tasty. French toast tomorrow a.m., and then the company leaves.

Just remembered I have to cut a photo out of today's NYTimes. Afghans. Got to start paying attention to details.

Too busy right now to suck it up.
