cj Sez: Is it getting close to autumn temperatures in your
neck of the woods? I envy you, because it’s certainly not cooling down here on
the Gulf Coast of Alabama.
I am told and led to believe that it reached 97° F in Mobile yesterday… September 14. I know
annual flowers and veggies are supposed to start dying off in September, but
not from heat stroke.
The hellacious heat and humidity do make it easier for me to
justify staying in the house to read and/or write, as in another short story.
Yesterday, I started a short, short story with a submission
date of September 30. Okay, I admit it. I have written only three paragraphs for
three different ideas. And did I say short, short? It’s more of a haiku…no more
than 100 words long. If you’re interested in trying your hand, read more here: http://www.negativecapabilitypress.org/ (P.S. Their call for submissions is near the
bottom of the page.)

By the by, as the masthead of Lyrical Pens says, if you have
a book (new or old) you want to promote with a blog post, drop me a note. We
can arrange a blog date…the only caveat is that this site is PG 13.
That’s it for this week. You-all guys keep on keeping on,
and I’ll try to do the same. See you next week?

Don’t you just hate it when autocorrect won’t let you
correct what it has determined to be incorrect? Word is forever trying to capitalize my
name, and it drives me batty. I know, I know. I don’t have far to go.
