- About Me:
- Bradley J. Stewart was raised in Topanga Canyon, California, the fifth of eight children. He had an interest for writing since his childhood in the sixties when his seventh grade teacher said, “You have a natural style for writing.
One day many years later, fate stepped in with a writing assignment from his daughter’s middle school, which she had forgotten to do. With only a few days to complete the assignment, they worked together day and night. Three days later, she received an “A.” Two years later, Stewart completed the storyline of Kayak Reef: Eye of the Arctic.
For over thirty years, Stewart has been involved in the building trades. Two of many
U. S. government projects he worked on were the replacement of the Hoover Dam turbines and the reconstruction of the Panama Canal. Ten years after completing preconstruction assessments for the Hoover Dam venture, he stood on top of the dam and witnessed the enormous turbines being lowered hundreds of feet into the magnificent Colorado River Canyon. His correspondence with organizations on many levels, and his sense of plot and suspense have contributed to his writing technique.

What you do in the interim takes priority."

From the eye of life's womb comes destiny with our children

In a world where your soul touches those that effect your heart most,
it’s heart rendering when the sole of fate steps in and kicks up dust. ~

If I were a shadow I'd still want to be in your light. Even when it's dark, I can't quit thinking of you! I can't wait for the sun, 'cause when I see you, I fall apart.

Helpless
Over the Holiday weekend I took a good look at my house and that familiar helples feeling washed over me again. It seemed like an insurmountable task to get the place in order. It still does.I spend so much time writing and promoting after I do my day job, what little time I have left is precious. Still, sometimes I just have to buckle down and ignore my compulsion to write and make myself clean house instead. I tackled the spare bedroom, which had clothes and all kinds of other articles strewn over the bed, on the floor, and anywhere you can think of, compliments of myself and the DH, who were equally guilty. I did make some headway, which made me feel good, but if I had more time I know I could do better. Also, there are so many other projects left to do if I were to get the house really into shape. I'm wondering how much I'll get done before Christmas, when I have my family over.
Maybe over the weekend I can get more done, that is, after I do the Illinois sales tax form first, which is due by the end of the month. I've got almost all of my check statements, except one, which I think I can find online, so maybe I can get that done. You may have guessed I'm not the most organized person in the world.
Anyway, let's see how far I can get cleaning up. I've got this kindle on loan from the library, with about 9 days left on it, and lots of good books on it beckoning to me. I've got some great ideas for stories I want to start and others I want to continue. I've got some blog buddies I haven't visited for a while. I wonder what will win out. (g)
What about you? What do you do about housework? Does it get in the way sometimes?
PS The not so surprising results are up on the left for my EZ poll. I'll have to do a harder one some time.

Time Out for Kindle Reading
Our local library has 8 kindles available for its patrons. The DH and I both got on the waiting list, mainly so I could use one. His number was reached and we picked up the kindle on Sunday afternoon. Now I've got a kindle to read for 2 weeks! So far I'm really loving it, especially the current book I'm reading, My Sister's Keeper by Jodi Picoult.What about you? Do you own a kindle? Or, have you tried someone else's? Would you like to?
Who's Doing Cyber Monday?
I'm very carefully going to check out the Cyber Monday deals. I have a few items in mind that I plan to buy, but it would be very nice if they'd go on sale and save me some money. I won't be spending much. Can't afford to do so this year.What about you?

Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.

I am sending this to my BookPlace friends because Gremlins are out there, waiting for an opportunity to humiliate you. Here's how my newly released The Frugal Editor can help:
• Learn what annoys agents the most--straight from the mouths of the nation's best.
• Learn what your English teacher told you was OK but has changed since you were a Sophomore.
• Learn what is absolutely grammatically correct but will annoy publishers.
• Learn how to make your Spell and Grammar Check your partner instead of your enemy.
• Learn how to avoid the scams when you select an editor.
• Learn how to partner with your editor or your publisher's editor.
• Learn how to use hyphens, ellipses and all the other grungy little punctuation marks that English teachers avoided teaching because they didn't know how to use them either.
Peter Bowerman, author of the Well-Fed Writer series says, "Don't turn in anything until you turn to "The Frugal Book Promoter."
