Good Morning Cee Dub! How's your latest story coming along? My cat Zombie story is writing itself right now. I started a novel but I just don't know how to weave it so it flows like one long fabric if you know what I mean. I'll find it though. I keep reading novels so I can figure out the formula for writing a novel and its like crocheting with three needles or like trying to make soup backwards without broth. It's a bitch.

Gratz Randy!

Thanks Ozmo. How've you been lately? What are you working on?

Hey Randy! Don't fret about that novel, it will work itself out. My stories are going well, but I need to set a better schedule now that the kids are back in school instead of treating every day like Mom's day off! LOL

Very cool, Richard. And I agree with Caren, Randy. Beyond what I listed previously, here is some new stuff I have planned that I pulled from a recent Facebook post I made today...

"Ideas have been brewing lately as fast as my coffee. So I've decided to add many new book ideas to my workload. I continue to write dark fiction, but every once in a while I need a break from what I am doing--mostly editing. So do my minions. They have grown restless and sometimes they need to work on something different. Here is what is on our menu...

The first of these are 3 new kids books along the lines of Frankie's Alphabet, meant to help children or get them interested in cool new things.

I am also adding a short book that will detail my ongoing struggle with weight loss, what has worked and what hasn't. I had thought to start a separate page for those interested in discussing weight issues, but as of yet I haven't. We will see what interest there is in it. My goal is to help others get on the right path to healthy weight loss without all the gimmicks that cost hundreds of dollars.

Another short book will discuss living with a food allergy. It will act as a starter guide for families who need help deciding what situations pose threats to you or your loved one and how to handle them. The information comes from personal experience with my daughter's nut allergy. Hopefully it can help other people avoid some of the potential tragedies.

After that I hope to take a selection of my photography and create a picture book with the intent of bringing a smile to people's faces."

Thank you Copefiend2 (by the way what is your real name; I feel really strange thanking or congratulating you by this ridiculous moniker.) There should be NO SECRETS between writer buddies on the forum! Can I get an Amen from the congregation somewheres in the back? Hallelujah!

LOL! My name will only be revealed when you list which stories you like from the book!

[Randy D. Rubin]

Okay I like them all... Now what's your identity, Clark Kent?

My review of May We Shed These Human Bodies by Amber Sparks is now live at The Nervous Breakdown

Powerful collection, surreal and touching.

Hey, what the heck. I've developed my own series set here in the Hudson Valley with a webite to go with it. The first book, "At Van Eyckmann's Request", is now available through Amazon (and Kindle) and the second novel is getting pitched to the major publishers as we speak...check out the websit at www.wyvernfalls.com and let me know what you think!
