Enjoying Life

Enjoying LIfe

Hope everyone is doing well.

I have never been better. After these two health scares I experienced in the last year (heart/COVID) I have dedicated myself to enjoying life to the fullest.

I guess you can say I have been a vagabond to the second power.

This holiday weekend, I will explore Sarasota. Planning a little bathing in the beaches of Anna Marie Island. And of course, Siesta Key is on the agenda. Three out of the last five years, Siesta Key won awards for being the best beach in the United States.

In two weeks, my daughter comes down to visit. We have booked several stops along Florida’s gulf coast.

Three weeks after that, I return to my hut in the Dominican Republic for a three month vacation. So you see. The Beach Bum HAS changed his ways. Now, I drink less, beach more, and yes, chase skirts. Good habits never die.

Working very hard on my novels and screen plays. And as I said before…..never been happier

Oh, yes. still single. Doubtful I will change that. Have a safe and happy holiday weekend.

Love, blessing, and kisses to all. (Well, the kisses are for the ladies).

So, if you’re wondering how I am doing………….Don’t Worry Baby

The Lonely Author on Youtube will be a forum for novelists to promote their work. A corner for poets to recite their poetry and describe their poetry books. Hopefully, the channel will become the place for bloggers, poets, and our writing voices to be heard.

Get to know me, as I take you to the beaches of Florida & the Dominican Republic. Let’s chase humpback whales, beautiful sunsets, and exotic women.

The Lonely Author and his blogging and Instagram friends in 3D, premiering this coming Monday, February 15th.

getting closer to you

Doing great. Before I get into harcore blogging, Here are other places to find me.

For micro poetry I have just opened an Instagram account. Don’t look at the amount of followers. It is embarrassing. (I truly am a Lonely Author)

Hopefully, I will have your support.

I have finally returned to Twitter. (Yes, I was living in New York at the time when I opened it). I will be posting micro poetry and photos of my daily life and what’s going on.

Follow me on Twitter

On Thursday, I will inform you of my special project. It is time for me to get closer to all of you. Hopefully, you will follow me there……

Infinite gratitude…….

Hello. I never mention these milestones, but this time I felt I should.

First, I would like to thank the three men that are following me. Never would have achieved this without you. ONLY KIDDING.

I find this achievement remarkable because after two weeks of blogging, I only had one follower Eye-Dancers. By the end of my first full month, I picked up a second follower Carrie Rubin. Thanks to them for their early encouragement.

I have been lucky to make amazing friends who have been with me since the beginning of this incredible journey. Sweet and supportive Aruna @ Roseyevening, a special writer and funny friend John at FictionFavorites, the only blogger I refer to as my sister Diane at LadiesWhoLunchReviews , and a very special gentleman across the pond Derrick at DerrickJKnight.

This post wouldn’t be possible without the generous support of friends who reblogged my work and introduced me to so many wonderful people. John at ByTheMightyMumford, Chuck at TheReluctantPoet, John at JohnCoyote, Jack at HaveWeHadHelp, and Ian at AceNewsServices. They have all played a great part in my success.

When I started blogging, this corner was dedicated to novel and screen writing and humor. Then, I started reading poetry…..

Sadly, the poets that inspired me to start writing poetry are gone and only one remains. Let me tell you, she inspires me today just as she did four and a half years ago. Her work remains fresh, brilliant, and inspiring. Please stop by and visit Holly at HouseofHeart. She may kill me for this, but Holly is the only blogger who ever inspired me to write about her hair TheBeautifulRedhead.

I would like to thank you for your support, friendship, and the laughs. It has been an unforgettable journey. Hopefully, you will stay with me as I continue my trek to publication, dare I say, and find love along the way.

I must confess, I never dated a stewardess. I will add it to my To Do list. Right underneath date a girl named Coco. (Never did that either.)

My doctor agreed to let me extend my weekend vacation to six weeks.

Back at the hut, I have a housekeeper and two alternating cooks, dozens of friends who will check in on me. And a beach a walk away. Thus, I have the support group, fresh air, and sun that I need.

My best friend Titi, has started the process of finding a nurse who will make weekly visits. He assured me she would be young, pretty, and single.

While they were here, my daughter Cat and my ex Ally enjoyed using my debit cards (with my permission) as I rested, purchasing clothing online for my future vacations. Thankfully, they know my choice and tastes in designers and stores. The clothes were shipped last week.

Thus, I am traveling with a boarding pass, passport, and my laptop.

This resting and building my strength trip will be all about the three B’s.

1- Baptism

2- Beach

3- Books. Continue working on my current novel of eternal love and reincarnation and prep my sci-fi love story Paradox (written in boths forms novel & screenplay) for marketing to literary agents and Hollywood.

Will also do my best to surround myself with women. Hey! Man does not live by beach alone. I think some wise man said that.

The Beach Boy promises poetry and open comments on Monday.

A Lonely Comeback

A Lonely Comeback

Sorry, I have been gone for so long. Feeling a bit better. Relieved that the meds and rest are working.

The second and third opinions of two cardiologists provided hope. They both feel the first doctor overreacted.

What has kept me from blogging are the powerful meds the original doctor prescribed. Six different pills cause awful side affects (severe headaches, dizziness, some confusion). The side affects have been overwhelming.

On Wednesday, I have two important tests to pass. Good results will lead to my meds being removed or reduced.

My old time followers know this special lady. Ally flew down from New York for ten days to drive me to important appointments. My daughter also flew down three times in the past 2 month.

Fighting with doctors, I was finally granted approval to resume light exercise. This is my view as I walk laps around the lake behind my apartment complex. That stunning sunset accompanied me one night.

Haven’t made any attempts to write. So, I will be rusty. Perhaps the sunsets will help me find my creative mojo.

I will try to touch all of you during this week.

Have a good one.
