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! |

First, the young fellow who came last week to measure for materials neglected to tell his crew about our driveway's steepness and condition. So, the truck that delivered the materials did not have trailer brakes. That, and one pickup arrived onsite with a pinhole in the radiator hose. Consequently, the job didn’t get started until Wednesday. Read the full post at: http://jjshaun.com/2023/06/04/rebuilding-the-dream-pt-138/ |
