Bad news from a grown child. Thyroid cancer. She says she'll be fine. I still feel like I got hit with a bag of bricks. I also just took someone off my page ehre because they never used a cut, her posts were very long, interesting, sure, but huge.

I have not been in the best of shape lately. Robyn went scuba diving in Indonesia with friends, for a couple weeks. Isn't she amazing? While she was gone, no credit to me, I lost my taste for sweets. I still like them but I've been relieved of the craving for them. The physical craving at least. Which is very very weird. However, I've been very ( Read more... )

Since Robyn was on a scuba-diving trip to Indonesia that past three weeks, she thought we'd skip the usual Halloween bus trip to Lahaina tonight. Phooey. She is still tired and apt to doze off periodically but still, phooey. It's a huge street party for 30,000. Sort of like game day in ann arbor. That said, I have a second ebook up on JMS ( Read more... )

Yesterday I did my two hours at the old library bookstore. We have all kinds of books, and enough bugs to scare the pants off the whole world. Anyhow, I love it. Scorpions not withstanding. Even dead ones. The drive back however was 'interesting' with four people passing me on the right as I was signalling to pull over, having seen them coming up ( Read more... )

As we all have to do from time to time. I live in paradise and for a change, have an easy life. I could do without the body aches and miseries that gang up on me though. I think it's braggable that at least they aren't from normal aging. I've had this gang of thieves for decades. It gets fucking tedious. Anyhow; one of my stories, 'Dog Days', is ( Read more... )

JMS has accepted a sixth short story of mine, assuming I can make a few changes, which should be fine. Every time I get one of those emails my heart goes into overdrive. It's the best feeling in the world if it's a YES and the worst if it's a no thanks. Luckily, JMS publishing is super kind and nice. The stories are up on their website for two ( Read more... )

It's been too long. And too frustrating the last dozen times I checked in here. We'll see if they have improved it or not. Mostly I've been writing, trying some compromises with what I write. For short story ebooks, there are length limits and what sells best to consider. I thiink so far I've had six sold/accepted or whatever. JMS Publishing and ( Read more... )

Yes I'm still alive and kicking but almost exclusively posting on Facebook. Been doing a lot of writing and editing. I managed to get three of my short stories accepted as online-only 'ebooks', well two of them the other goes into an anthology. These are not money-makers but the thrill of not finding a rejection note is wonderful ( Read more... )

I'm not going to renew my paid membership here. If I disappear which seems likely, given that they still haven't resolved my entering a post issues, you can find me at either ftemery@hawaiiantel.net or on Facebook as Emery C. Walters, Kihei HI.

It's been about two years since I've had anyone just call me up and invite me to just hang out or do something. Us, yeah, we have a lot of 'we' friends, and I thought I had a lot of me friends out of that, and beyond. But - I don't. I'm usually fine with tt.
