For most of my writing career, I pantsed my novels and stories. Meaning I just made them up as I went along. I started with a vague notion of what I wanted the story to be about, and I'd just start writing. While fun, certainly, the stories always ended up being overly long, and seemed to take a very long time to get to the point of what they were trying to say.

Bait, Fish, and Reel Report for February 2017

So let's go over what happened in February. What happened was ... I got flu Type A. I've never had this flu, ever, in my whole life.
