So, it’s been a long time since my last post and I have to admit, I still don’t have much going on. Though, I thought I’d put up a few things just to be able to say I did, that I updated my blog.
First, on Dirty Eden, I have come to face the reality that the first chapter just wasn’t cutting it. Brian had some of his writing class peeps read it and provide advice, which I truly appreciate! In fact, I appreciated it so much and agreed with everything they said that I completely revamped it. I have to say that I got more positive than negative feedback from everyone, but there were a few key points that everyone seemed to share. Anyway, I took all of the advice to heart and did exactly what they thought I needed to do.
You can read the new version of Chapter One in a pdf. here.
How about some cool photos? I went to visit my brother in Eureka Springs and stopped at some cool old places along the way. I love old abandoned buildings like this.
We went to the river and Jonah decided to take a picture of the sun! Is it true that doing this can potentially fry your camera? Well, it didn’t hurt mine, thankfully.
Not too far from where I live is Burns Park, which is huge place that…let me just copy/paste from Arkansas.com:
1,700-acre park featuring a pre-Civil War log cabin; covered bridge; 36-hole golf course; indoor, outdoor tennis courts; camping, picnic area, horse trail, ball fields; amusement park; disk and miniature golf; 6.2 miles of paved hiking/biking trails; four miles of combined paved/unpaved trails; addition to half of the 14-mile River Trail; Off-Road Trail System includes hiking, biking and equestrian trails…
Anyway, there are also a lot of old mining shafts and underground tunnels as well as many more of those old buildings and places that I love.
(As always, click on any photo for a larger view.)
Look at this little guy…
Of course, ya have to take a photo against all the cool graffiti, right? Doesn’t everybody do that? *shrug*
Let’s see…I’m love The Colony on Discovery and I also can’t get enough of Man Vs. Wild, Man Woman Wild, Dual Survival, Wonders of the Solar System and I’m now all into The Event. Yes, a lot of television lately.
Where does ‘the apocalypse’ come in to this blog? My frame of mind according to my television shows should give you an idea!
I need a Maxpedition backpack…..
(Update: The Event sucks.)
