As this coot rarely makes a timely post and has lost interest in posting articles announcing a book has been completed, for those who care about such things, below is the new writing scheme for 2022.
My 2021 habit of placing the nonfiction articles that were not part of the two history projects, as an appendix to the novel, is being altered. I am only placing those articles that bear directly on the theme of the novel. This leaves most of my writing uncategorized.
Hence, my reader dialogues, training articles, social commentary and travel writing will be organized in the order written as Hobo Journals.
This piece is being written on the first day of spring and will not post until June.
To keep up to date on book completions check the tag and old article: How Many Books Are You Writing? I update this every month or two.
If you would like my writing in a timely manner, instead of waiting 3 months for it to show up on the site, along with the occasional article I didn’t have the balls to schedule for posting, then just email me a small donation and say you’d like my latest journal.
I am now here committing to posting fiction on weekends and non fiction on weekdays.
Current posting as of 3/21/22:
Substack: thru 12/31/22
Patreon: thru 5/31/22
Nonfiction: thru June 13
Fiction: thru 9/4/22, being the first two thirds or three quarters of the novels Sorcerer, American Dream Boat, Uprising and Wake Christopher
I read and write on the screen in 16pt Lucida Sans
