Guest Post – The Last Drive, by John W. Howell #newbook …
I am so pleased to be guesting with you today, Chris. I am very grateful to you for helping spread the word about The Last Drive. You have always been so supportive of authors and are a fine one yourself. I think you can understand quite well the changeable mind of an author. For example, I never intended to write a sequel. Once I was into it, though I had to figure out what title to use. I…

Tuesday - Anything Possible - Finger Point Prompt - Invisable
The prompt is found by opening a book to a random page and, without looking, point to the page. The word or words closest to the pointing finger is the prompt. Today, I opened The Last Drive to page 205, and when I opened my eyes, the word invisible was nearest my finger.

Stream of Consciousness Saturday - Prompt "Cozy."
Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt “Cozy.”
The sound of coffee being produced by the AI that is the cursed machine brings a feeling of joy to the heart. It is coffee that seals the overall cozy feeling that life is worth living. Without coffee, a barren wasteland that is barely existence unfolds in front of even the most optimistic soul.
Lucky for me, the machine decides to grant me one more day of bliss. Cup in hand and sip in mouth…

Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – “Amble”
A quiet Saturday morning with the sounds of birds adding to the peaceful feeling. Inhaling the aroma of freshly brewed coffee as it is being made adds to the overall feeling of contentment. The temperature is below the blast furnace level, so an excellent opportunity exists to sit on the patio and enjoy the morning.
Twiggy and Lucy decide to come with me to the outside. They are busy reading…

Top Ten Things Not to Do at a Gas Station
This post ran on January 29, 2018. I think it still has some merit.
