Really miss it - posting & reading. I think FaceBook - the instant back & forth - puts a hit on the blogging because there's so little prep work to do. On FB - just post a link add a pic etc. It's the lazy way I suppose. Glad y'all are here. See ya again soon.

HOPING to stay "in town" for a while. <br /><br />Carol - Speakin' of ships sailin' Deb has a few cool pics of RECKLESS which are now on canvas, framed up & hangin' on my writing room walls. Sanity is holding up, back, not so much but I have a gameplan. (Remember - Man plans & God laughs). <br /><br />Ronnie - I don't know that Pop was ever a kid. Think he was born old & cantankerous. Will have to check into this though. And it's great to be home but I want to make a trip north to Ga & check out your awesome little town. Looks fantastic. Think Admiral Joe said it was 90 minutes from here. <br /><br />Joylene - I abandon my post in cyberspace & you go gettin' yourself a nice award for your latest book & THEN get set to move from the west coast to the east coast ... Congrats on both. <br /><br />Y'all - <br /><br />I do have it on good authority that the interview process has begun, though I'm not sure how Jack's handlin' it. I overheard the interviewer. Could get ugly. That's all I'm sayin'.

I thought you'd jumped this ship for good. ;)<br /><br />Seriously, I know how difficult it is to balance writing time with the demands of everyday life, and you're right... something has to give, and it can't be your sanity. I'm sure you're loving to be back in your home... and in that great writing room. I'll bet there'll be some progress happening on GP before long.<br /><br />I'm looking forward to learning more about Jack. I often wondered what his parents thought about him spending summers with his grandparents. My own son worked for my dad for several summers during his teens and, while it was a good experience for him, we missed him desperately.Carol J.

Pushing hard, trying to cut the remaining construction schedule in half so we CAN get home. (Actually, today is Sunday & I'm on the job workin' in Miami.) <br /><br />Laura - Miss Charlotte would never tolerate playin' 2nd fiddle to blogging (etc). NO WAY! Our little haunted town was recently named one of the top 10 places to visit, so ya oughta think about a trip. My slowdown mode will hopefully begin in March. <br /><br />Joylene - Blogger has been screwy. This post must have had 6 or 8 spam comments show up in the "to be moderated" column. Could be that I missed your comment & inadvertantly deleted it. Dunno. I rarely wrote notes for my boys when they were in school. Both could duplicate my signature so they wrote their own. I suppose their reasons for missing school were generally more creative than anything I would have come up with.David Ebrighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03037059701518103541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8860392162017699273.post-64541559618973110132012-02-05T11:01:43.800-05:002012-02-05T11:01:43.800-05:00Darn, I wrote something weeks ago and it never too...Darn, I wrote something weeks ago and it never took. Wonder why? Do you suppose there are cyberguards out there who take the time to read comments and decide whose can stay and whose can't? It's one of the reasons my mother hated writing us a note for school to explain why we weren't there. She was positive the teachers all got together in the lounge and laughed over all the parent notes.

Miss Charlotte simply would not have liked that, and neither would I.<br /><br />I enjoyed seeing the photos especially since, as you know, I likely will not see these sights for myself.<br /><br />I'm hoping you slow down a bit and start putting your energy into writing.

No wonder you find inspiration there. I hope you get back home to it soon, before the work load kills you. I wonder if Deb would invest in a heritage-style headstone for you if it did. She'd probably be so mad at you she'd have a shiny modern plaque inscribed with "Up and coming author who didn't spend enough time on his writing or with me", and plant little pink posies around it. ;)Carol J.
