Check it out -- see all the fantastic annotations for this project at acdsociety.com/bjg/a/bjga.h... Four pages of front matter and 12 pages of manuscript to date. We are 'mining the Gap'!

I finally know why the new book isn't working. The underlying theme of the better stories and the title/introduction aren't in alignment. Time to rethink and restructure. I have the new working title and suddenly it all feels possible. Only losing 3,000 words instead of 30,000.

My friend down the street had old, not so great copies of Collier's complete #sherlockholmes in 8 volumes, The Further Adv of SH by Peter Haining, The Uncollected SH by Richard Lancelyn Green, The Exploits of SH by Adrian Conan Doyle. He had Loxley Books in England remake them into this set.😍

Episode 321: Sherlock Holmes Into the Fire
Margie Deck's new book is a clever combination of two of Conan Doyle's major themes.

We finished the little book nook kit, despite our own limitations and the limitations of the instructions. Far from our best work, but fun, and now a Christmas gift from two years ago is done.

Well, the ham sandwich and cold beer at 10 pm did nothing for the writer's block but they were damn tasty.

OK— I’ve opened the box to the new computer. Let us see how much time and frustration it takes to get it doing what I want how I want it, and nothing else. Wish me luck….🫠🫠🫠🫠

At the airport at stupid o’clock early as directed so I can wait an annoying amount of time to board. I’ve brought a suitably grumpy and often annoying (but brilliant, damn it) man to read.
