WritingMadeHard

You would think that writing is easy, and I guess for me it is. After all, you simply have to put words on paper or in my case on the computer screen. The problem for me is that every thing that comes along gives me an excuse not to write. This is Memorial Day week-end, a terrific reason not to write. My brother is coming to visit, we have to put flowers on graves, I'm cleaning out the above ground pool. I would love to do some writing, but I simply have no time. Yesterday I bought the DVD set of the entire Buck Rogers TV series, and now I simply must watch all 38 hours of it, after all I paid for it didn't I? You see how things go, if nothing else, I have to clean up the house before my wife gets home from work. The hardest part of writing is getting myself to do it. Once I start, the words usually flow like water down hill. I have a proposal and the first several chapters of a book on Paranormal Hypnosis that I need to send off to an agent, but I have yet to write the cover letter! Talk about procrastination. It has been weeks since I should have sent that off. I'm also working on a sequel to Dark Moon, a book about the Cajun swamp monster, the Lupe Garou. Dark Moon is coming out next Spring from Mundania Press. Actually it is a combination sequel to Dark Moon and follow-up to Drams of April Ten---a crossover if you will. Speaking of crossover, I've seen several automobiles advertised as Crossover cars. What exactly is that? I've never seen an explanation of what a crossover car is. Is it a vehicle that will run on Gasoline or Diesel fuel? Alcohol or lemonade? I simply don't know. I do know that Congress with the bill they are debating to close the borders and make all illegals legal misses the whole point. It is an immigration bill and what we need is a border security bill. The current bill does not secure the borders. We don't have an immigration problem, we have a problem of no border security. If they would simply build the fence as proposed, and enforce existing laws, the illegals would go home for lack of work and the problems would resolve. That's my theory anyway, for what it's worth which may not be much if anything.
