EK's Star Log

Iron Lung is going to be at Saco Imax. I sent them the info and asked them if they'd show it. And they contacted #Markiplier and set it up! #ironlungmovie #saco #maine #imax 

Today is the last day of National Novel Writing Month 2025. I have a new record: 271k words in 30 days (my previous record was 237k words in 30 days, in 2010)

https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8UBQoj2/ This is the train that'll be using the trestle track once they finish working on it. It just made its 1st run through Maine this week. Passenger train from Quebec to compete with Amtrak The Biddeford track doesn't connect with it yet, that's why they are working on it. Its a food train, going through picking up food donations and delivering them to homeless communities for Thanksgiving. They make runs helping the homeless communities that live along railroad tracks. I am glad when people help homeless people. I was homeless for 9 years and I know how hard it can be to find even the most basic things you need when homeless. Its supposed to connect to Biddeford by 2030.

| Did you know Drabbles are no longer welcomed on Medium? My Daily Drabbles are now here on Blogger because Drabbles are no longer allowed on Medium - this link tells you what Medium changed and where you can go if you are a drabble writter looking for a platform that still allows Drabbles - there are not many - most platforms do NOT allow 100 word stories! Medium used to be the number one place for publishing drabbles and getting paid for tthem, but as of April 4, 2025 Medium has banned drabbles from distribution. Full details HERE | National Novel Writing Month / NaNoWriMo 2025 Update: I should hit 200k tomorrow! I just updated my word count and it says: 194,420/50,000 Average daily words 8,454 words That means I've only got 5,580 more words to reach 200k, which is less than my daily average, so I should reach it tomorrow! But with 7 days left to go, I could reach my highest word count ever, because I usually scrape past 200k on day 30. This is my 21st November writing month...

Full details HERE | Week Three of NovNov/NaNoWriMo 2025 I’m on track to 200k! It's third week of National Novel Writing Month. I’ve not been keeping track of weekly words, so, not sure weekly count of exact day count. I come in NovNov each night, log my word total for the day, and that says right now:  “178,610/50,000, Average daily word 8,506 words”  …so I’ll likely reach 200k by the end of the month. I’m only including story, nothing else. (I’ve been asked a ...

Today my cats discovered the existence of zucchini. I was cooking tortellini to serve with steamed spinach and braised zucchini. While I was chopping zucchini, one particularly large zucchini rolled off the stack, rolled across the counter, landed on the floor and continued rolling across the kitchen until it came to a stop at the door seal between the kitchen and the living room.  I continued chopping, assuming I would just pick up the zucchini afterwards.  My black cat, Emmett comes strolling in, takes one look at the zucchini and goes full crazy black cat warpath mode, snarling, hissing, tail in full bottle brush, lunges on the zucchini, biting it, kicking it. Then stomps off.  Hearing the commotion, white cat Muumuu comes out, looks around, does not see the zucchini, yet, plops down on the trow rug by the doorway, bum inches from the zucchini and proceeds to wash her toes, snapping off toenails and spitting them across the room, in mid snap, toe in her mouth, she sees...

Who is Todd Murphy? That blonde woman who keeps yelling at me about Tod Murphy, is here at 409 Main Street, Biddeford, right now at 1:17pm, gibbering about Tod Murphy again. And this time accusing me of Reddit posts about Tod Murphy. And as usual, I have no clue who she is, who Tod Murphy is, or what Reddit posts she is talking about. This has been going on since November 2021. She showed up the first time day after Thanksgiving 2021. I can't figure out what in the heck she is talking about or who in the heck she has got me mixed up with. Its clear she thinks I am someone she talks to online about Tod Murphy, but I don't know any one named Tod Murphy and I don't know who she is or what she is talking about. I'm to walk my dog, and I'm getting sick of this woman harassing me endlessly about some guy I've never even heard of. I'm kind of too busy dealing with this being the anniversary week of my son's murder to deal with this crazy woman. Dose anyone he...
