Captain America Is Keeping Us Safe

First, I'd like to say there's nothing that makes a person feel safe like having a superhero in the house. Captain America has been here this week, and occasionally Spiderman stops by as well. I never see them together or with Samuel, but he says that is just a coincidence. As you can see below, Captain America looks very brave and serious, as a superhero should.

I started writing "Rock Star" again. It's always difficult for me to finish writing anything, especially anything long like a novel. Over the period of time it takes to write it, I get so many ideas for other stories that I want to just take a break to work on them. The problem is, I never get anything finished that way. The only way I can finish a writing project is to focus on that and block out all the other wonderful ideas floating around in my head until I'm finished. And so, I will write nothing else (except newspaper columns) until I am finished with "Rock Star".

My sales this month are very slow, the slowest since I first published "Lettahs From Maine". Let's go, people! Summer's coming, time to download some great books onto your kindles. I did sell a copy of Children of Mother Earth in the UK the other night. I sell a copy or two there almost every month, which is very exciting to me. I keep hoping it'll take off there, but so far it hasn't.

Let's see, what else? I've been watching a lot of Arrested Development, which is probably why my story is coming along so slowly. But it's just so funny. When I'm finished with the old seasons and the new one, I'm sure my writing will pick right up. That's pretty sad.

It's a beautiful day, I'm going to do some writing and then spread compost in the garden. Yes, I do have an exciting life.
