Song mood: Just like Heaven by the Cure.


Last night was about getting caught up with sleep and I went to bed early.  I walked in place for a while listening to Dervla McTiernan’s The Roommate, a Cormac Reilly novella.  I listened to McTiernan’s The Sisters while I traveled from London to Paris and finished the book on my way back from Paris.  Her stories take place in Dublin.  I may yet listen to a Cormac Reilly novel.


On que for listening is Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia.  Followed by The Science Fiction of Edgar Allan Poe, which is a collection of short stories and essays Poe wrote that deal with science fiction.


One more long day and two more short ones, and then I’m on vacation or whatever it is I’m calling it.


The new auto part is coming tomorrow.  This time I talked with a live person.  It turns out that the part I got before, not only did it not fit, but was not even the part that needed to be replaced.  There are two sensors, one the crankshaft position sensor and the other the camshaft position sensor.  Half of the online autoparts stores has the later as the replacement part for the former.  So the bolt that I stripped was for the camshaft position sensor and I need to replace the crankshaft position sensor.  I may have lucked out.


Still no clue what I’m going to do for my birthday.  I’m thinking of getting a hotel in Lincoln and ordering a pizza by the Mellow Mushroom.  It’s a thought, but I’m not really sure.  I wish there were mountains or ocean that were two hours drive from where I live, I am in need of mountains and ocean.


I have my birthday book, yay, not that it matters.  I think I need to write a lit of things that I will do next week that I’ll completely ignore.  I will tell myself that I’m going to do these things, but I pretty sure they will be ignored.  Which is okay, if something far more interesting happens.  I should surprise some people and write out full murder mystery.  I think if I did that, it would be I that had the heart attack from the shock.


So this is just me talking out what I’m thinking.  Maybe I’ll do a Wild Safari Tour in Ashland, NE.  I saw the website today and thought it may be a cool thing to do in the area.  Anyway.  I’m excited for all the walking and reading I will be doing soon.

Trends on Horror

Here are some trends I picked up on recently. The big push for horror isn’t in October.  It’s June, July and August.  As someone who self publishes books, I’m not at all interested in what’s trending.  Mainly because I just need to write as many and publish as many books as possible.  Following trends gets thrown out the window when you want to publish four to six books a year. I already knew that books and dvds, perhaps most streaming get released on Tuesdays.  At one time I knew why. It was the whole business of everything getting shifted because of the pandemic that I realized that the push for horror was June through August.  Harrow the Ninth was supposed to be released in 25 June and now is 4 August.  The Night of the Mannequins by Stephen Graham Jones was supposed to be released on 14 July and is now 1 September.  That was supposed to be my Birthday book this year. What I found out about Stephen Graham Jones is that a novel of his should have already been released, but i

  Song mood: New Sensation by INXS. I figured it out this morning.  I figured out how the Traveler defeats the Dark Prince.  And on the same token, I figured out how Milo de Ford defeats the Dark Prince. It is in the realm potential.  The power of the Traveler, of Milo de Ford is in one of the realms of potential.  One realm is the realm of possibility, the other realm is the realm of probability.  The Traveler is able to trap the Dark Prince within the realm of potential, but in the act of doing it, traps himself. Milo de Ford without knowledge releases the both of them in the series.  In order to defeat the Dark Prince, Milo has to do something similar to what the Traveler did. I didn’t get much accomplished in writing today.  Just figured something out for the rest of the series.  At the moment, I have my doubts but must soldier on. I thought about the realms of probability and possibility.  I think I live too much in the world of potential.  Too afraid to move forward becau

Song mood: Magic Stick by Lil Kim ft 50 Cent.  Not sure why that song popped in my head.  King George the Third’s song in Hamilton   plays in my head, well, the da da part anyway. In the hour that I wrote, I wrote 1146 words.  I’ve now hit 20,000 for the second time.  I will need to do a little brainstorming for what else to write.  And I haven’t written the big battle between Marianne and Kurt Grey.  Which I’m a little hesitant to write.  The fight scene isn’t my forte.  Nor is the space battles, but I like writing those scenes. So that was my day off, writing for an hour, walking and watching both Doctor Who and Father Brown.  It’s kind of tough to watch the very first season of Doctor Who as the Doctor doesn’t even know who the Daleks are.  In the first ever season, the Doctor doesn’t try or want to try to save anyone.  It is said that the Daleks were representing the racial hate and Nazism.  Over the years the backstory was written or rewritten so that the Daleks were the arch
