Wrote over 700 words today on Maguire's Corner.
It was agonizing but I wrote them.
I don't know if they are any good.
I didn't read them.
I will go back tomorrow and write some more.
I will go back tomorrow and write some more.

Thor comes out on DVD tomorrow!
How are you guys doing?

Thank you.
I had a much different post all typed up and ready to go.
I left it for a while and then read it again and decided it was too personal and too sad to share.
I'm not a shy person.
But when it comes to September 11th I'm still a little sensitive. Even ten years later.
I will say that I didn't personally lose a loved one but my community lost many.
We live so close to Manhattan that the ripple effect hit us for a long time.
And with so many of our first responders getting ill with rare and incurable diseases the hits keep coming.
Tomorrow will be a hard day but in honor of those who were robbed of one we will carry on and we will never forget.
I would like to thank you all for coming to visit on Wednesday. What a great day. I got some awesome advice and support from some really great people. Now I just have to get back to writing.

Insecure Writer's Support Group
So, Mr. Cavanaugh, you say you want to start an Insecure Writer's Support Group.
You say that the purpose of this group is to 'share' and 'encourage'.
Okay. I can do that.
What do I feel insecure about?
But...right now...I'm afraid I will never finish writing another story.
I have started four or five stories with different ideas, all at different lengths, but I get to a certain point and then - BAM! - nothing.
I run out of story.
I know I have said this before but I don't want to be a 'one-hit-wonder'.
I finished my first book because it was vital.
The question is how do I make my other stories just as vital?
Well, thanks for listening and feel free to leave me some inspiration.
I can't wait to visit some of you to see what y'all are insecure about!

Labor sucks
Hello everyone.
Happy Monday.
Happy Labor Day? Dumb holiday.
Do you know how many people are still working today? Lots. I don't get it.
The other labor day sucks too. I was in labor for two days and then had a c-section. Dumb.
Speaking of evil children...mine goes back to school tomorrow!!! YEAH!!! First grade!!! YEAH!!!
I'm hoping this will be the beginning of a beautiful relationship with my current works in progress.
I just read about yet another of my blogging buddies getting published (congrats Renee Silvana!) and I am sick and tired of wishing it was me.
Dammit! It's going to be me.
I need to treat writing more like a job instead of a hobby.
I need to write for a few hours a day.
I need to find my muse and smack them around a bit.
I need to stop being afraid of failure.
I need to stop feeling sorry myself and start acting like a writer if I ever want to be an author.
Did you get any of that? Does any of that make sense?
Maybe I should have saved this for September 7th and the Insecure Writer's Support Group post.
Damn.

#amwriting
Well...#amreading anyway.
I couldn't sleep last night. Woke up about 3:00 something. So, I pulled out my long neglected Maguire's Corner story and read through it.
It's only about 30,000 words and nowhere near finished but it's a good start. I still like it.
Sometimes I surprise myself.
It's been a while since I've looked at the story but I don't remember writing certain parts.
Shouldn't I remember?
What does that mean?
Hey! Hold your elderly jokes. I know I'm old.
Yeah, sometimes I walk into a room and stand there not remembering why I went in there.
Sometimes I read the same line in a book three times before it sinks in.
But you would think that I would be able to recall the damn words I put on a page.
Guess not.
Going to get some more coffee and ponder my next plot move while I try desperately to stay awake.
Any one have plans for the holiday weekend? Besides watching college football that is?
