Everyone's talking about it. The decade is nearing its end. The 2010's will soon be the 2020's.
It may be difficult to fathom, but look back on the past ten years. Where were you then, comparing yourself to now?
Pretty amazing, isn't it?
Now, look ahead ten years. Whoa!
Dream big and write down some lofty goals. It doesn't matter how crazy they sound. Write them down anyway.
Finished? Probably not, but pick one. Now, think of what needs to happen in order to achieve that big dream.
Now put it into action.

Another short one today / Happenings In The Outhouse 20-Dec-2019
My apologies on the short post today.
As far as writing is concerned, I'm nearing completion of the prologue to my latest thriller. I'm excited to jump into it with both feet, yet at the same time it's been difficult with the deteriorating condition that my wife is in.
My wife is the strongest, most bravest person that I know. I think she would even give General Patton a run for his money (grin!). Tuesday, she was no near to death that I called all of her family and mine to the hospital to prepare for the inevitable. As of Thursday, she's still at the hospital, but out of ICU and hanging in there.

Back in the saddle again / Happenings In The Outhouse 13-Dec-2019
With all that's going on in my life, it's a wonder that I even have the energy to start a new book.
But that is life. Life goes on. It has changed dramatically since May, and what may come of it I don't know. One thing I do know is that I can't just sit and worry about something I have no control over. The only thing I can do is work on something I love.
And I love writing.
I am currently writing the first words to a new thriller--the 5th novel in the Central Division Series. In the weeks to come, I'll pass along some year's end wisdom and future planning. For now, I'm keeping this short.

My Heart Was Not In It / Happenings In The Outhouse 06-Nov-2019
I came to the realization earlier this week that my heart is just not into my current work-in-progress. It's weird too, because it's a story I came up with long ago while playing catch with one of my daughters.
Not to worry, I'm not abandoning it completely. With everything going on with my wife, it's been difficult to focus on something new since I've never written a YA story before. I might revisit it next year.
So, I started work on the next book in the Central Division thriller series. That seems to be where my heart is right now as far as writing is concerned.
