Continually trying to answer the question...can a man of few words write a successful novel?

I'm a Mystery/Thriller/Suspense writer from small town USA who struggles everyday to balance my passion for prose against the need to be a full-time bread winner. Finding ways to devote more time to my writing is the challenge, but for now all I can do is follow this tug at my heart to wherever it leads. I'm here primarily to soak up all the knowledge I can from the writing-centric blogosphere, but I'll do my best to contribute by thinking of new and innovative ways to churn the writing pot.

X is for X Marks The Spot

X is for X Marks The Spot


This is the spot where I stumble during the Challenge.  I've been able to wing it pretty convincingly up to now, but real life and inadequate planning caught up to me.  So you get a free pass today and you're free to move onto the next post.

I'll try and do better tomorrow.  Promise!  :)

  1. We all have those days. Real life comes first. I'm just thankful I had all mine written before this month because I'd have quite a few missed days! We'll still be back. :)

  4. No need to Xplain. The challenge is tough to keep up with when real life intervenes.

  11. Hey, any post that has to do with a treasure hunt is fine by me. Life goal, find buried pirate treasure.

  12. X marks the spot. Short, sweet and to the point. I think you covered the letter X quite nicely. You'll have to stop by and see how I handled the letter X in my post.

  13. X is a tough one. You picked a good day to offer a free pass :-)

  14. Technically, you don't even need a free pass.

    A post about not posting is still a post.

    That, plus bonus point for eXtreme brevity, gives you a solid entry for X-Day!

    >thumbs-up!<

  16. Best X post so far. Unfortunately, A to Z in frying my brain. Only two more days/letters/posts to go.

  17. This one always makes me think of the third Indiana Jones movie where he says that very thing . . . and for once it's not true. =D

  18. Hey, it's got an X. If you hadn't said anything I'd just think "hey, short and to the point..."
    I'm just hopping around in our A to Z world to blogs I haven't had time to visit yet...
