Daily Grind, Writing UNHINGED

It’s a Good Day for Delivery!

Leave a comment

It’s cold and windy, and I decided this is a good day for ordering something online. Forget about cooking tonight. I am treating myself.

I was busy working on UNHINGED today, while I am off work. I forgot about time and didn’t bother to have lunch. I realize this late this afternoon, and it’s almost time for supper. I am so glad there’s a pizza place a block away. The food got here fast.

And damn, that pizza was good! Some of the best I have had.

It was a very productive day. I spent time working on the “skeleton” of the book. That is like an outline that puts everything in the order I want the book to follow. It lays out the direction I want to take and defines specific parts or sections, which can later be turned into individual chapters.

This is probably boring as can be to you, and I am truly sorry. I am saving all the good stuff for the book. This blog (at this point, anyway) is mostly about the writing of the book. That might not be very exciting to some.

I plan on spending the evening doing the same thing I did all day. Writing. Planning. Organizing. After today, I feel like I am really getting somewhere. There’s so much to discuss and cover. I have a long way to go, but I am satisfied with my progress to this point. After I get further along, I will begin sharing some of my writing on this blog.

All of the photography you see on this website is all my own copyrighted works. For more than a decade, I have been compiling a collection of photographic works of my own. These are nature photography, landscape photography, portrait photography, real estate photography, and more. Photography is a hobby that I very much enjoy, as well as potentially being a source of income.

How was your day? How have you been? Were you busy? Did you remember to make time for yourself today? Relaxation and recuperation are important. Don’t forget to recharge yourself!

Thanks for stopping by! I have to get back to working on this book now. Have an enjoyable evening! Take care!

Books by R. Kline, Reflections 2nd Ed

Reflections, 3rd Edition

Leave a comment

Good News! I have decided to write a third edition of Reflections. I intend on trying to get this book published. This revision will be a combination of 90 Poems in 90 Days and Reflections, 2nd Edition. There are also self-help sections and mental health sections added.

This is very exciting! I have also decided to dedicate myself to seeing all of my books published. I am going to follow through with this, no matter what.

This website and blog have been paid for until December of 2026. I will continue to build this blog while I finish writing UNHINGED and revising my other two books.

This is a very exciting time for me, and I certainly do have my work cut out for me to see these goals to fruition. Follow along on this blog, as I talk about my efforts on these books. Feel free to comment and get involved. I would love to hear what you have to say.

I will be sharing some of my work as I complete the revision. It will be found in this category of the blog.

Stop by this website and blog anytime you want! Drop me an email or comment below. Thanks for stopping by! Come back again soon!

90 Poems in 90 Days, Books by R. Kline

90 Poems in 90 Days

Leave a comment

Back in 2010, I started a blog called 90 Poems in 90 Days on WordPress.com. I didn’t quite finish the effort in time because of a bad case of writer’s block. The rough draft to the manuscript that resulted from it is still in my possession, and I have always intended on finishing the effort and to see it published.

I really enjoyed working on that effort, and I would love to share it again. I will be including some posts in the future that will give a sample of what’s included in this draft of the book.

Eventually (in about 2014) I decided to include these works in the 2nd Edition of Reflections that I was working on. I felt that it made for a nice revision to include my works of poetry that are less spiritually inspired.

In the next year, I intend of working on this effort again. I have plans to publish it around the time I will be publishing the book I am working on now, UNHINGED.

Keep your eyes open for further information about this as time goes by. I will post new information as it becomes known to me in this category on the blog. I have separate categories for each book I have written, and all information will be posted in the appropriate category.

Have a great day! Stop back again soon!

Writing UNHINGED

My Deadline…

Leave a comment

I decided that I will finish the final draft of UNHINGED by December 31, 2026. I have high hopes that I will be done well before that point. There are a few people I would like to talk to who were around during that time, but we are no longer speaking. Some people stopped talking to me because of my problems. This is something I have gotten used to in life. My illness drives people away.

I really do try not to let this get me down. I try not to let anything get me down. I don’t like being depressed at all. It’s no fun.

One goal I have is to have someone in mind to publish my book by the time I am done writing it. I have never had a book published before, and I am very nervous about the process. I have heard that reputable publishing companies should publish it without it costing me anything, but there are companies that will publish any book for a price. I have already decided that, even if it comes to paying for it, I will see this book published. As you can see, I am already advertising the book on this website and marketing it here as well.

At this point, I find my blog to be too business-minded and not entertaining enough. It’s probably because I am not sharing the exciting parts of the book yet. I am in the process of writing them, but it leaves this blog feeling very stale and dry. I wish there was something I could do about that, but this is how it needs to be at the moment. I don’t want to give too much away just yet.

Rest assured that there is more to come…

Three major breakdowns in five years. Nanobots. Voices of the feds and more. Fleets of drones. Stalkers hiding in the woods. A kinky website. Two evictions. Miles and miles of dirt roads. Technology problems. Online stalkers. There were even a few drugs involved.

And then there was a high-speed police chase through two counties that ended in a car crash and a prison sentence.

I eventually get to try and rebuild my life, which is what stage I am in now.

Things settled down for a while, but my old friends have resurfaced to help with writing this book. Interesting. Believe me, it does get more interesting than what you have read here to this point. Stick around. There is going to be more.

In the meantime, I am going to post some posts about my other books and other blogs. One of these blogs may be published again in the near future. I just have to see if the files still exist on the host and renew the account. Those files are very valuable to me at this point. I would love to get my hands on them because I devoted so much time to working on them. Months. And what’s in them is so valuable to this book I am writing, UNHINGED.

Thanks for stopping by my blog! It’s in its infancy, so please bear with me as I continue to develop this blog. It’s going to take some time. Stop back again anytime you want. You are always welcome here!

Writing UNHINGED

Building, Writing, Creating

Leave a comment

I got a lot of writing done these last few days, and I really enjoyed it. It was difficult to deal with everything I went through, but that didn’t last. It felt too nice to be accomplishing something.

In addition to writing UNHINGED, I wrote to the blog, too. It’s just as important to work on the book as it is to build this blog. By the time the book is finished, I want this website and blog to be fully developed and fully functioning. I am hoping for members in the community and a growing Bipolar Support Group there as well. I know it’s a lot of work, but I do feel as though it will be worth it in the end.

At the point the book is finished being written and ready to be published, a new game begins. This is not one I am familiar with, but I am willing to learn to play the game. The game is called getting the book published. I have no experience in this area, and I am open to suggestions. I am hoping that it won’t cost me anything to get the book published, but if it does, I am ready to cross that bridge when it appears before me. I know that some smaller publishing companies require that.

In addition to writing this book and to blogging about it here, I am also keeping a daily journal in the hopes that I can turn that into a book as well. This is a lot of writing, but I enjoy it.

Thanks again for taking the time to stop by and read what I have written! I appreciate your continued interest and moral support. You’re welcome to visit this site as often as you like. Feel free to take a look around and to sign up for the community. It’s free!

Take care and have a great Sunday!

Writing UNHINGED

Self-Doubt

Leave a comment

Everything is coming along quite nicely, and I should feel excited and proud. Yet, I have doubts. And, I worry…

This is probably completely normal. Surely, this is a natural part of the writing process. I am trying not to become so overcome with doubts that I come to believe I can’t. I know I can.

The important thing is that I don’t get so overcome with doubts that I give up. That’s not an option. I have been thinking about this book ever since the incident happened and actually long before that. The idea of writing a book became something that I needed to do, something that must be done.

This is the point that I am at now. Determined. Yet I am also aware. I am aware of everything I need to do to bring this to fruition from this point forward. It’s a lot. It can seem a bit overwhelming at times, and I try not to let it get to me because I am making good progress with this all, the websites and the books.

The thought for the day is “Hang in there. Don’t give up five minutes before the miracle.”

Thanks again for stopping by! Take care!

Sincerely, R. Kline

PS. The picture at the top of this post is of the Susquehanna River. I was standing in York County and taking a picture of the Lancaster County side. Both counties are show in this picture and so is the Safe Harber Hydroelectric Dam. The hill on the left, where the windmills are, is Turkey Hill. That’s where your iced tea and iced cream come from. Lol. Everything was so pink on this January morning when I took the picture. It was so cold, and the ice in the river even looked pink. Enjoy!

Writing UNHINGED

Friday Night at Home

Leave a comment

I am spending a relaxing night at home getting some things done for the book. I spent a lot of time writing today, and I covered a lot of territory. There’s still a long road ahead of me. Yet, I can’t help but feel good about the direction I am going with this. I hope it ends up being everything I want it to.

The tricky part will be getting this published, but I have decided that I will do that, even if I have to pay for it myself in the beginning. I plan on seeing this book to fruition, and I would also like to see my other two books in print sometime after that.

I guess it doesn’t hurt to dream. After all, goals and dreams can really motivate us in life to take that next right step.

With that being said, I hope you enjoy the rest of your evening. Have a great weekend, too. Thanks for stopping by!

TGIF!!

Leave a comment

Thank God it’s Friday! For the first time in my life, I have a job where I am off on the weekends. It feels good!

How are you? Are you ready to end this week? I hope you have a great day!

I woke up feeling extra creative today. Hopefully this will get me somewhere with the writing. I have gotten some done, and I am happy with that. But there’s also that drive for more, more, more. I won’t really be happy until it’s done, printed, and in my hand.

I said I would share about the actual writing process here in this blog, so here it goes…

I started by making a skeleton. Basically, that’s an outline that includes all the subjects I want to include and the order they fall in. It’s basic, but it’s a good starting point. It’s important to know what exactly I plan to write about.

After that, I made some files for sections of time that occurred. I have been writing parts of the story, as it occurs to me, in the appropriate files. Later, I plan to put these together into one long file. I will then go through and separate the book into chapters, create an index and table of contents, and design the cover.

The website is finished for now. It will need an update in a month or so. The blog is coming along nicely and is ready for traffic. I am almost done customizing it for the experience.

I am also weighing my options for either a community or forum for discussions about mental health topics and for socialization. I guess you could say that I have plans for this website.

That’s all for now. Thanks for stopping by! Take care!
