I am finishing up the final edits before I submit my second story “Helga Returns” to Solstice Publishing. I finish editing with reading the story out loud and I discovered should I use boulder or huge rock? I thought I should use one or the other. I spent about a half hour looking at various definitions of rocks and boulders it was quite interesting. There does not really seem to be a difference between huge rock or a boulder. Then the question to myself is? Which would be more appealing to a child? My kids did not seem to think it made any difference. No help at all. As I was looking at different definitions, I decided the real difference is, and should be added to the definitions. If they are stationary or moving. When you drive along our beautiful roads, the warnings always says falling rocks not falling boulders. So I decided to change stationary huge rocks to boulders and falling rocks to huge falling rocks. That is my adventure in writing today. Hope you enjoy and smiled.WB

I am back at work on the final edits of Helga Returns. Will finish with final edits and placing Kelly Murray’s illustrations. I will be done with it by Friday. I am ready to finish the 3rd one and work on my novel. WB

Leaving the Northwest is very difficult for me. So much of our family lives out west and I miss the Northwest. I just want to build my dream house outside of Moscow, ID with the view of the Mountains. But all good things come to an end and the trip back east to our nice City of Big Rapids was long but a pleasant drive back through the mountains and gorge of Washington, Oregon, Wyoming. Then the midwest Nebraska, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana. Here is a list of states we stopped in on this trip. Some were just a hour some for a few days.

Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, Oregon, Washington.

We were greeted to a huge Thunderstorm in Michigan. It flooded out basement, but it was a good opportunity to clean out all the junk we do not need and get it ready for my son to use. So have to take the good with the bad. I took a walk of our beautiful downtown in Big Rapids a couple of days after we returned home and forgot how beautiful and friendly it is. Friends were happy we came back so nice. We had 11 new windows installed the first week back. Kelly Murray finished the illustrations and now I need to finished the final edits and placing the illustrations in my book and hopefully Solstice Publishing will publish my second book.  Have a great day folks!
