Friday – JohnKu – AKA TGIF

~ John W. Howell

TGIF

 

Friday again. (Yes, John it comes around once a week at this time.) This week has been full of looking at the last proof of Circumstances of Childhood. Next week I should be heavy into formatting which is always fun. (What? are you sick?) I got word the cover is going to be a couple of weeks from now, so I think the mid-September date might slip a little. It is no big deal and I good with anything before November 1st. (So you say to readers.) I wrote a JohnKu last week about the vagaries of publishing, so I think this week I’ll I will discuss one’s inner voice. Yes, those parenthetical statements came from my inner voice.  We all have one, and sometimes mine needs to go off to a seminar on positive thinking. I hope you have a great weekend.

Inner Voice by John W. Howell

So what’s that I hear?

Far away behind my eyes. . .

That arrogant voice.

  4. Love your rhyme 😂Tell that negative side of your brain that your friend here says knock it off 😊I love reading your blog and feel quite certain that if you can keep me entertained on the blog, betting your book is great!! I do have a question though…will it be available on Audible? I ask as I absolutely love to read but due to my crazy,old eyes reading much at one sitting my eyes cross so I’ve discovered I can still “read” my cherished books thru Audible reading to me. “Getting old isn’t for sissies” right?!? Enlarging fonts on a tablet helps but darn eyes still will go cross and I am still searching for an ophthalmologist or optometrist that can help me with this- urrrr! Anyway, sure your book will be fantastic!!

    1. Thanks, Elizabeth. I have three other books published as well. I plan to get to audio but it does take time and money so it will be a while. In the meantime, just reading the blog will be perfect. I keep it to under 500 words for eyes such as ours. 😀

  5. “Behind my eyes” is a busy place for writers…and dreamers. Gosh, I guess they are one and the same. What a fun tribute to the unnamed who torment, delight, and guide us throughout the day (and night!). Have a great day, John. 🙂

  9. Hmm… “Behind My Eyes” – sounds like a title for a fascinating book – and for one of your prompt stories, John! Happy Friday!

  15. Inner voices can be a tad paradoxical… 😦 One of my favourite writers, the late, great Douglas Adams (of Hitch-hiker’s Guide to the Galaxy & Dr. Who fame) said his inner voice was a split personality, alternating between Zaphod Beeblebrox (extreme extrovert and clever clogs) and Marvin the Paranoid Android!
    We writers are a funny ole lot! 😀

  17. Agh, formatting. What a disaster my first round of that was! Probably didn’t help that early on, I’d managed to lose my entire working manuscript and had to employ one of Domer’s buddies to find it for me!

    1. I go by the book each step of the way. Seriously I have an instruction book in one hand while I do it. I’ve done three books and still don’t trust myself to wing it.
