 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.

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 it got pushed…

my first and only read of The Deathly Hallows

When Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows came out, I lived in Korea.  There is a fourteen hour time difference between Seoul and Omaha.  I went to the book store on the day it was released, like when the book store opened and bought my copy.  I started to read it on the bus ride home.  When I got to my apartment, I read it that day plus the day after.  I was determined to be the first in my family to have finished the book.  I ordered take out from the restaurant on the first floor of my apartment building and snacked on stuff I already had.  The book came out on a Saturday, which is unusual because books are normally released on a Tuesday.  I had no contact with the rest of the world, well accept for when I skyped my mother on our weekly calls.  I read the 700+ page book in two days.  And that was all I did that weekend.  When I finished book, I couldn't actually see that well, like everything was a blur for the two days that followed.  It was the last time I read a large book w…

The Stone of Destiny

The other movie I watched this weekend was also a biopic: The Stone of Destiny.  It was about four Scottish college students who went to Westminster Abby and stole a six hundred pound stone, which was a Scottish treasure.  I enjoyed it.  A bunch of Scottish students banding together to steal a national treasure back from the English. The movie was based off of a book, the writer was the leader of this little band.  After the events of the book, he went on to become a lawyer.  They pull off the heist and a few months later they returned the stone.  All involved were accused of stealing the stone, but never charged.  England was worried that if they charged the students with the theft of the stone, there would be riots by the Scottish and so dropped the charges.
