 Song mood: Monster Mask by Pomplamoose.  ’Tis the season.


October poems will be inspired by The Bride of Frankenstein.  I have selected pictures from the movie.  I have the first four poems written.  I should have rest written tomorrow.


I started writing the mystery.  I started with the party scene first, which is at the beginning.  I wanted to know the motives of the suspects.  The victim is hated by all who attend the party for some reason or another.


I ran tonight.  First time in months.  The last time I ran, it was too hot and I got dizzy halfway around the lake.  Had to walk the rest of the lake feeling dizzy that time.  Tonight was cooler.  I ran four miles.

Target goal or target weight: 170lbs.


Last weekend, I finished watching the Inspector Morse series.  The final episode was befitting for the detective.  The actor died a couple of years after the episode was shot.  He had some sort of medical condition.  

The author wrote a book where Morse died so that they could film the final episode before the actor died.  It was in the final book where the author revealed that Morse’s Christian name was Endeavour.  Which then got revealed in the third to last episode.


On the recommendation of a friend, I binge watched Upload.  It was a nice comedy on the digital afterlife.


I didn’t watch the debate.  I knew it was going to be a load of crap.  The President from what I heard wouldn’t stop interrupting.  Like it was some sort of wrestling reality show and the one who talks the loudest and the most wins.


So tomorrow, I will write the rest of October poems.  I’m thinking of going to Junkstock this weekend.  This weekend, I will continue working on the mystery.  I may start editing the fantasy novella I wrote before.  

I may do the formatting for the poetry book I could have self published months ago.  The answer to the issues I had with Scrivener is Microsoft Word.  Apparently, hardly anyone undestands how to format for print in the latest version of Scrivener.  Amazon KDP has a guide on how to format a book for print using Microsoft Word.  So I will download the program so I can format the book.

One of these weekends, I will just have to write down a list of projects and what needs to be done with them.  And then work from that list.

  So I made some changes in plan for my birthday.   I decided to get a room at Aksarben Suites.   I’ll spend the day in Aksarben and pretend that I traveled.   What I will have, I’ll decide tomorrow, although I suspect that it will be Pickleman’s pizza.   I’ll read and chill.   Maybe I’ll take a bus to the Dundee Dell.   So many things I can do.   For coffee, I’ll go to the Starbucks on 90 th and Pacific.   That one has the Verismo coffee machine makes an excellent cup of coffee.   I can even take an early walk at the lake as I make my way to Aksarben.

  Song mood: In Too Deep by Genesis. It’s been an Inspector Morse weekend.  I’m halfway through the original series.  I think I came upon an understanding.  If the show follows the book closely, it will say based on the book.  After the second season, the shows stopped following the books closely and then it says based off the characters.  Some of them say based off an idea by the author, which would indicate that the author collaborated with the producers for the screenplay. The other thing that I realized is that if they are going to follow the series, Chief Inspector Thursday won’t be in the new show for much longer.  Which this last season hinted at. I expect to work on my own mystery this week.  It happens in Sandy, England.  My Inspector Trevor is surnamed after the Irish author, William Trevor.   Trevor is one of the biggest names in literature.  Or he was when I attended college for Creative Writing.  I’ve read a few of his short stories.  I think I should listen to a fe

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
