Okay, the kitchen is clean now and i've set out some hamburger to thaw for dinner. I scrubbed what looked like the dog coughed up on the love seat and yesterday I did the floors. I think I can take a break now.
For those of you who do not know, my wife is the bread winner in this house because I am on disability because of a stroke I had and at which time they discovered that I have Multiple Sclerosis. So I am a house husband now that writes when I feel like I can maintain a thought. Therefore, it falls on me to keep the house presentable.
I've struggled a bit lately with the being able to maintain a thought, that is long enough to write it down, and have not been as attentive to the blog or my next novel. I am having a bit more trouble with this story than I have before because of the subject matter I have taken on. I am still searching for an audience and so far I have written an action packed love story, Rescue of the Heart, and a spy novel, The Thorium Endeavor. Neither of which seem to be flying off the shelves, so I thought that this time I would try something with a serial killer. The working title is Holding Her and is still very early in the developmental stage. It will be a while before this is ready for public consumption, but don't forget about it.
In the meantime, let me just mention that if you have not yet read either Rescue of the Heart or The Thorium Endeavor, both written be me, Joel Wilson, please do. Both are available as an ebook for Kindle or in print at Amazon.com. It is also available for the Nook at Barnes&Noble.com.
I am looking forward to this summer and all it will bring. The first thing it will bring is my wife's retirement from teaching with the Denver Public Schools. Sitting still is going to be a big adjustment for her, but I am here to help her adjust.
The second thing coming my way this summer is my children and their families are coming for a visit. It will be an all at once attack and I am anxious to see them all. It's been years.
After that, my wife and I may take a driving vacation to see different parts of this country. If that happens, I'll let you know where we will be and when. I would love to meet you all.
Until then, I hope you enjoy your summer! Keep checking back for new posts and updates.
I'd say I'm about a C cup. Maybe I should start wearing a bra. Maybe I could design a belly bra! You know, something to add support for my large gut that would help to take the strain off my back and make my pants fit around my waist so that I look human.
I started this blog several weeks ago after a long look at myself in the mirror. Trust me, the sight of me naked is hideous and would make you want to abandon sex for good. Ok, I'm not Jabba the Hutt fat but still I'm much more than is healthy. Anyway, I had to stop writing for two reasons: A) problems with managing my own thoughts while dealing with Multiple Sclerosis often makes it very difficult to concentrate on what I'm doing, and B) I slipped on the ice and broke my shoulder. It isn't easy to sit here even now and type.
Still here I am, a dedicated trouper, writing anything for anyone who cares to read. I'm sorry, I drifted away for a moment. I heard a delivery truck across the street making some noise and it caused my mind to wander away for a moment. Now what was I saying? I don't know. Too many distractions today. I hear a neighbor a few doors down who is using a chain saw to cut up some trees that were damaged by the snow and a small plane that is flying overhead. I'm finding it difficult to concentrate. I will come back to this later.
Well, here we are another day now. Have you been waiting on me? You have? Thank you so much! It feels so good to know that I have faithful readers. However, I must say that if indeed you have been looking at you computer screen for the last 24 hours waiting patiently on my return, it's a little freaky. Surely you can find something else to fill your day with. I appreciate the loyalty but I have to tell you, I'm not the only writer out there. There are others. Some are pretty good. I encourage you to expand your horizon.
Anyway, it's 10 days til Christmas. Yay!! I don't get into all the gifting though, mostly because I can't afford too. My grandchildren will grow up hating me I guess. Maybe one day I can right this wrong. I hope so. That is part of my motivation to write. Maybe by the time they are older I can be in a position to do things for them.
Oh well, in case you haven't figured this out just yet, I'm doing a lot of rambling here. I had to take a Percocet to ease the pain in my arm and I'm trying to get this done before I get drowsy.
It's a beautiful day outside! I hope you all get to enjoy it. Thanks so much for checking in on me. I pray that God blesses you all.
