So here I am again attempting to blog, but let me catch up the loyal non-readers of my blog. I'm truck driving, I've written a short story and have a few I'm working on and I'm a grandfather. Of course the most important of these things is the last one, my granddaughter the lovely little Xzaria Marie was born December 30, 2011. I have yet to meet her as my job seems to be conspiring to keep me out of the Grand Rapids area.
As to the writing, well I say I'm working on a couple short stories, a novel and my autobiography, but let's be honest, I've written a few lines and paragraphs in each and can't seem to move forward on any of them. I think it's partially fear of failure that is holding me back. I also don't enjoy reading my own writing. When a friend critiqued my short story "The Hunter" (available on amazon.com) I was in complete agreement. I am horrible at descriptive writing, I want to hurry the story along too much and I forget the little details like say describing the scene, developing the characters and working the dialogue.
