Some pictures and some progress.
First some pictures. First is cell phone, no zoom. Second is cell phone full zoom. Last is cell phone with binocular attachment. Please pardon the blurriness. I didn’t use a tripod and at that distance, everything is blurry when the whole thing is shaking (even slightly). I’m having fun with both the binoculars and taking pictures. One day I’ll invest in a good camera for picture taking 🙂
Lastly for the day, I got some page updates done. All books and short stories are now listed. I didn’t like to any other book sellers other than Amazon at this point. Perhaps in the future.
I’m off to go make some words happen. Have an excellent weekend!
Writers of the Future!
No, I didn’t win. First off, I’d have to submit a story in order to win.
I have submitted in the past. What that means is I’m now on the email list for the rest of my life. That’s not a bad thing. I fully support the authors that are on or have been judges over the years. It’s a great contest that’s been running for a long time.
The stories are some great stories and I get advanced review copies for my honest opinion. I’m a few stories in and not ready to give judgement yet. I will say, the first story is cat story and while I don’t normally like Kitty Fiction, this story took a great angle. It’s not on sale yet and I’m spending some time this weekend getting through the stories.
Oh, and there is some fantastic art also. As always.
Hope you’re having a great weekend. By the Numbers will happen tomorrow.
Chapter Done.
Working on By The Numbers which I will do Monday. Also got a chapter done for Jack Kane 3. That’s back over to Mike so he can do the next chapter.
Got in some bass practice. Going to play some dominos tonight.
Also having fun learning how to take better pictures with my cell phone and binoculars. It’s fun. First picture is a pretty good zoom with the binoculars. Second is without binoculars and no zoom. Last is full cell phone zoom. I have much to learn and lots of tweaking to do. Having fun with it. Next I need to start putting the setup on a tripod and see if that helps with clearer pictures.
Someday I might invest in a camera to do the same thing, but for now, having fun with an inexpensive setup.
Another day.
Another day with a 5 a day With Jay. Sorry. I need another day. Until next time…here is a picture of a hummingbird I took.
