GlennM's Journal, 08 April 2012

Happy belated Easter. I would have preferred corned beef to ham any day but had others to feed.  

Hi Buffy, the corned beef I cooked wasn't that good, about three weeks ago I cooked one and it was better and not mostly fat. The dog went nutty when she smelled it cooking and kept sniffing her nose in the air, and the smell of it cooking is not good, except to a little dog. She was kissing my hand, which she rarely does... hope you all had a good Easter on here and I will try to get on here more often in the near future... 

Hi Glenn! Nice to see that you are still here and doing your writing. I am back here at FS because I have gained weight and miss the support of all the great people here. Hope all is well with you.  

Hi Mary Beth - I have been SO busy. This weekend I will try to get on and posts on journals. Welcome back! I have been so busy the past week. This summer I will put my first three books first two chapters - all will be completed in an umpteenth edit. And so I hope to get an agent and hope to get on here more regularly. My new goal is to walk twenty to thirty miles a week and maybe even forty if I am not too busy - exercise is vital for one's good health when one is younger... I am glad you're back and I will be on here more often in the near future... 

Twenty to 30 miles per week! Wow! That's a lot! Good luck with your books. My daughter got her Masters Degree in Publishing at a university in NYC. She plans to stay there and try to get a job with a book or magazine publisher. It's a crazy business! 

Hi Mary Beth. Yes, it is a crazy business. I will have my first three books first few chapters on the Internet linked to my Facebook and Twitter. Maybe your daughter can become a literary agent and represent me - lol - and I will make her rich. lol. Anyway, one has to have the confidence of a successful writer long before they start to even get going. I read that Ernest Hemingway was quite insistent when he started writing that he was already legendary, and it came to pass didn't it? I have been walking two miles or so a day and it is having little effect on me so I am going to at least double or triple it within a week. Two neighbors have lost lots of weight by constant walking and another has lost a lot over the wintertime bicycling (there was little snow here). Anyway, I have been so busy the past week and I know for my own sake I need to get back on here.  

Hope everything is going well with you. Walking is a great exercise, have you been able to get outside to walk like you wanted?
