Friday – JohnKu – AKA – TGIF

~ John W. Howell
“I call this living Little One.”
“Me too, Lucy. Me too.”

Friday is here at last. “Gee, I wish it was Monday,” said no one ever. Always lovely to see the weekend within sight.

If you checked out my post yesterday then you know the landscaping at our place is done. We are all so happy to have that item checked off. We were plagued with gumbo mud every time it rained, which was often. The dogs were forced to stay on a leash until the mess dried, which was about three days. Then we would get a day or two of no rain followed by rain and another three days of the leash. Well, those days are hopefully over.

My WIP is plugging along. I am at 28,000 plus words, which means my 1000 word a day goal is being met. The story is developing well, and it sounds like it might fit the speculative fiction genre. A lot of stuff happening that is not necessarily confined to one or more traditional genres. All I know is it is fun to write, and so I’ll just keep plugging.

Today’s JohnKu talks about fun and writing. I hope you have a very restful and fun weekend.

To have to work hard,

At something that brings no joy . . .

Must be hell on Earth.

  3. It’s going to feel like hell on earth in Niagara today; the humidex is going to shatter an all-time record.
    Send cool, positive vibes my way, won’t you, John?

  8. It sounds as though that previous mess in the yard served no purpose if you didn’t enjoy making mud pies. Small children or pigs would have probably loved it. I’m sure it’s a huge relief to now have sod there. Congratulations on the steady progress of your new novel. Have a great weekend, John. 🙂 — Suzanne

  12. I’ve always been a huge believer in the philosophy, “Find a job you love, and you’ll never work a day in your life.” Glad you’re finding joy in your writing — I imagine your future readers will, too!!

  17. It’s a lovely (and so true) Johnku, but your sense of gratitude shines through. I always admire how much you manage to write in a single day, John. I barely do that in a week. Have a fabulous Friday. Hugs on the wing!

    1. Here is the defination. “A genre of fiction that encompasses works in which the setting is other than the real world, involving supernatural, futuristic, or other imagined elements.” It is fairly generalized but seems to cover what I’m working on now. My previous books have been thrillers so this is a major departure. Thanks, GP.

  20. So wonderful when all things come together as planned… well, maybe not as fast as planned but still.

    And way to go on the writing. Your vision of hell sounds mighty fine to me.

  21. I couldn’t agree more with your poem, John. I’m so glad your landscaping is done and you’re moving along with your WIP. Speculative fiction sounds interesting. Have a great weekend and Happy Writing! 😀 xo
