Great Day Writing

Wow. Had just a fantastic day writing.

I visited my wife for several hours in the hospital this afternoon.She's doing well physically, but is climbing the walls. With any luck she'll get released tomorrow.

Then I went home and pounded out eight pages on my novel in progress. So far I am extremely pleased with how it is going. I also sent out a couple of e-queries for some articles.

Tomorrow I hope to bail my wife out of the hospital, do a touch more writing, and get my lesson planning done for next week.

Starting Up Again

After taking a time away from writing I've decided to get back in the saddle, with this blog as a way to reach out to the world and hopefully keep me on track. I am a 49-year-old US citizen living in Guayaquil, Ecuador. By day I teach at a local school, while at night I write - mostly business and travel pieces. I am the author of one book - The Brit's Guide to Las Vegas - and the story of how a US guy, living in Ecuador, wrote a book about Sin City for a London publisher is a story in and of itself.

My goals are to get back into doing a steady stream of articles for Internet and print sources. I am also working on a novel. I have written two novels before, but they were true garbage that I will never allow to see the light of day.
