Things that happened in real life:

Melissa and I took the kids to shul for Pajama Havdala. They made candles and art projects, had snacks and generally ran around having a good old time.

I really started getting back on the running train. The had an injured hip for a long time and just couldn’t get back into it for a variety of reasons, most I can’t post.  Saturday I did a light run on the treadmill for about 30 minutes. Walked to and from Shul, then can back and jogged about 10 miles at a very slow pace. Sunday I ran 3.5 miles in the mid to low 7′s.  When in shape I can do a 7.15 minute mile in a 1/2 marathon, but the run didn’t feel that slow. I am a very consistent runner. I will often run the same or similar speeds for a 5k, 10k, or 1/2 marathon.  Anyway it felt great and I’m not particularly sore today.  I missed running so I am looking forward to get back into it.

I mentioned in an earlier post I just got on the Apple iBooks store. I even sold my first copy to someone in the UK. Since that post I also got on the Kobo store. I think the kobo is popular in Canada, but Canadian kids like dancing elephants too, eh!

Things that happens in fiction:

Alex Kagan gets a surprise visit from her dead grandfather in a dream. Actually multiple dreams. In each dream he tries to show her how to draw something using Hebrew letters pattered in a specific way.

My Book

If you came to this site because you were Googling  something like – I hate Corey Feldman or Corey Feldman Sucks, Please know I am not an 80′s actor.  I am however a mostly likable writer. Please don’t judge or ignore my book due to that assumption. So for those who don’t know I wrote a children’s book called Egret the Elephant. If you haven’t already picked up a copy I wanted to let you know the various places it is available.

Paperback
On Cloud Nine (Potomac 7Locks plaza above park potomac)
Children’s Place (Rockville, MD)
Ebook
iPad or iPhone – Apple iBooks store
Please feel free to share this message on if you know someone with kids that might be interested.

No this is not a New Years resolution post.

Today in real life:

I stayed in PJ’s until 3. Melissa took the boys to see one of her best friends, so I had like 4 hours of me time to write and catch up on Dr Who. It would have been 5 hours but I was helping my Dad’ girlfriend set up his old iPad for her (he switched to the mini like me). It was also our 9th Janniversary of our first date, January 1st, which started at a Starbucks. So Melissa and I took the kids to Starbucks for some coffee and Hot chocolate.

Today in Fiction:

Egret and Mocha meet a unicorn

On my urban fantasy novel I’m still waiting for Alex to tell me if she is a private detective or Law enforcement. So I rewrote a bit of the exorcist steps scene, hoping it would come to me. I know it sounds odd when I say I am waiting for a character to tell me, but I think a lot, if not most writers work that way, or think that way.   I tried to rewrite the bit where her sister tells her about their grandfather’s death.  Alex also has a dream where she remembers more of the conversation she had with her Grandfather when he told her she was a Gilgul and much more.
