There is an advantage to being stuck indoors because of a faulty foot, and that would be the A/C. Not just keepin me cool but the foot isn’t allowed to sweat, it seems to much moisture is at the fault of the whole foot infection thing.

What have I done to keep my mind off the pain and the whole bloody business? I’ve done what any writer would do, I write. After having completed the final touches on CANYON RANCH, MORPHINE, and BEDTIME STORIES (galleys, covers etc) I went treasure hunting on all my flash drives for things I could use on the site and some possibly missing stories that I may have abandoned for one reason or another.

One such story I found was a mystery novella I wrote over ten years ago. I remember the story going through many title changes until I settled on BUCKY because at the time the lead character’s name was Bucky. It isn’t any more.

Bucky as it turned out needed a lot of rewrites just on the opening chapter alone, where not only did I have to familiarize myself with the characters again but try and remember who done what to whom. In many of my short stories, I often plan on one thing and the story will write itself, often taking me into a whole nother direction. This is not always true, especially in the case of Bucky. I also didn’t have much in the way of sexual content and now that I’m a bona fide sensualist I felt I should throw in a few scenes to highlight the action.

Lo and Behold I also discovered that out of 20 (I guess) chapters 2-9 and 19-20 are missing. Well, I could chuck the whole thing or try and piece it together. No doubt it would have proved much better in rewrites so I decided what the hell. I don’t want to say I quit a project just because it challenging

I have two other stories in my head that I want to do but I’ve made a deal with myself that I’m going to finish what I’ve started! I also have a story about rain that I submitted to someone years ago in a contest and can’t find the copy or whom I even sent it to. Maybe one of out there may have seen it…..it was a contest entry that I think I lost.

So I’m spending some time piecing Bucky together and hope to be pleased with the result anytime in the next few weeks.

I started writing when I was kid in grade school, then graduated to comic books (no, I didn’t do comic co as much as I wanted to, I love San Diego!) but gave it up when every Art High School turned me down. Even to this day I’m not sure whether it was my grades or that just didn’t have the talent. Well, I’ve found something I can do now and I’m going to stick with it. And in no time this foot will be back to health and I’ll be up and line dancing to Jace Everetts “Bad Things”.

PLEASE I hope all of you are signing my guest book with your comments, good bad or suggestions. This is where I love getting to know my readers and they get to know me!

Thanks for all your well wishes and support! Watch this site, there’s more a’comin!

Baby’s First Blog!

author, cain berlinger, starting a blog, writer, writing

Well the first one in this space anyway! Writing a blog takes a bit of time and photo of cain practice and just that certain amount of confidence you have to have in yourself that convinces you that other people are interested in what you have to say about …well anything, or specifically in this case writing. Writing however covers a lot of ground because you can write about anything. Write about what you had for breakfast because that experience is unique to you. First Rule: Write what you know! “hey this guy likes two different types of eggs in the morning as well, just like me.” That’s how bonds are made and friendships formed. Sounds simple?

As your life progresses you learn more about what makes you tick, what motivates you and how you fit into the world as you see it. Everyday is a new blogging experience, some days more than others. My biggest problem is disciplining myself to sit down and write a few sentences about what’s going on with me. I definitely don’t want it to have that “dear diary” feel because that would bore even me let, alone my readers.

Right now I am currently in the hospital hopefully getting over a real bad foot infection and the daily dramas of that would curl your hair but I’m going to spare you that for another time. I know me, and one dishonorable mention could quickly escalate into an intolerant rant and rave all in one, and the last thing I want to do is scare you away. But be warned, it’s bound to happen.

Getting back to the writing though, thanks to some cool morphine shots and assorted pain killers I have come across “some cool ideas floating around in my head, kicking and screaming their way onto paper.” Another thing you might not know about me is not only am I paranoid but cautious to a fault. What if I preview my ideas here and someone snatches them? A lot of life’s dramas are all made up in our heads, and isn’t that one of the coolest things? See you next time!
