Brief insights into my writing world. |
|
I started my blog in June 2016, intending to have a place to get my stories in the hands of readers. I started with one follower -- my wife. Seven years later, I am creeping toward 500 followers. I post a daily quote, as well as short stories, vignettes, and updates on our rebuilding project. You can find my Tavern Tales at: https://jjshaun.com/ Enjoy! |
| Hail and well met, all. My name is Jae, and I have a writing problem. Seven years ago, I created a blog to showcase my (very amateur) story writing. After three years of stutter-starts, I was laid off from my bleeding-edge, high-tech writing job. I knew that being in my early 60's would prevent me from retiring from that career, so I turned my writing skill to fiction. Then came 2020 and covid and wildfires. Life turned upside down, and I turned to my blog to help process our losses. I hope you enjoy my musings and stories. Tavern Tales at https://jjshaun.com/ |
| Rebuilding the Dream, Pt 128 Mother Nature isn’t quite done having her way with us yet. This past week brought more wet, spring snow and tumbling temperatures to the region. I don’t expect the snow on the property to last long, though. A week from now, the warmth will have returned. The next several weeks will be the usual weather roller-coaster that marks the seasonal transition before finally settling into warm days. With luck, late spring will bring mild enough days that we can finally get moving with our building. Yesterday, we drove up to see the house again. Nothing changed from the last time we visited. The inevitable holes in the plastic wrap keep being repaired (we see more taped areas each visit). I have to give a huge thanks to the company we chose, as they are not charging us to store our house on their lot. Our contractor is now bidding for supplies. Hopefully, we’ll get word soon on when his part of the building started. In the meantime, we continue to wait. Read the full blog at https://jjshaun.com/. |
