Another work week into history. I hope yours was full of the accomplishments you laid out for yourself before its beginning. I have slowly returned to working on the WIP. My daughter was visiting for the Fourth of July holiday, and I didn’t get much writing done while she was here. I managed the blog and e-mails, but that was about it.
Feels good to get back at it. Today’s JohnKu talks about the lure of the manuscript. I hope you all have a great weekend.

Could write a hundred,
Maybe even a thousand. . .
If on WIP all’s good.
Published by John W. Howell
I have been working in business for over forty years and now have the time to work in special areas of interest. My passion has always been to create compelling stories of fiction. I have authored six novels and am working on my Seventh. The first novel is still in manuscript form and being utilized as a door stop in the laundry room. The second is a contemporary fiction novel of 89,000 words and is complete and I am currently seeking a publisher. I also write poetry but have not had the guts to share any with anyone. The one time I read a piece to a person their only comment was, “it doesn’t rhyme.” I will continue to write and hopefully my blog, Fiction Favorites at www.johnwhowell.com will provide some entertainment and an interesting thought or two.
I live in the Austin area with my wife Molly and an assortment of loving pets.

Thank you, Dan. I found the key to retirement is to work as hard as one did while employeed. The difference is to work hard on those things that bring pleasure. Happy weekend.

That is my plan, John. I’m not one to sit around. I hope write more, spend time in the shop and finish some projects around this place. We aren’t moving anywhere, so my goal is to make this place easier and easier to take care of.

Great quote, John! It’s really cool when our manuscripts call to us and we miss our characters when we are away.
