Thinking of You While on the Journey of 1,000 Miles and 100,000 Words

Walking and Writing in 2016

"A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step." Lao Tzu

Today, I am formally announcing activity for the year. Both require intention and discipline. The rewards include better health and enhanced productivity.

Two years, I have walked more than 750 miles. The goal for 2016 is to walk 3.33 miles for 300 days to achieve 1,000 miles.

Incidentally,I have three novels completed of 50,000 to 60,000 words. In Full Bloom told the story of a rags to riches woman who was written in the 1980's. reached the top of the cosmetic development industry to find herself wealthy, alone and empty. Tainted Money written in the early 21st Century told the story of domestic terrorists willing to sacrifice 1.5 million people to save America. ReVengeance to be be released January 15th, 2016 tells the story of seven women committed to bring justice to women and children that have suffered sexual assault. They bring a vigilante punishment guaranteeing rapists will not rape again.

In 2016, I will write 333.33 words for 300 days to reach the goal of 100,000 words. What readers are discovering that have been reading my work for years is I have created a Revengers Alliance from the standout characters of Tainted Money, the Underwoods and Canes.

Dr. Jane Underwood created an underground monitoring system of casualty counts of sickness and death from acts of violence, human or natural. Dr. Underwood has a son name Graham. The Underwoods lived with HIV/AIDS for most of Tainted Money until they met Dr. Jonah Cane and his daughter, Jamie.

The Canes created a cure for HIV/AIDS. Dr. Jonah and Dr. Jane married subsequent to the cure. so did Graham and Jamie. The Underwood-Cannes focus on taking down corrupt politicians and helping marginalized people become sustainable.

The Baroness Elizabeth Northumberland was introduced in the thriller Nsa Ebors takes on the Sex Slave Trade. Her team's of military trained and medical professionals works together to end sex slavery where they find it.

Z Omega and Jen Soog of the Lady with the Slanted Halo come to the ReVengers Alliance in the sequel. They lead a high tech paramilitary operation for profit. Their code demands they always take the moral high ground. They provide protection for high profile clients and take out cartels and corporations exploiting workers and communities leaving them sick and poorly paid.

Finally, the Writers 120 Competition results from my walking. Four items are introduced each week for creative writers to connect all four items in a 120 word story. Follow the link for more information and the rules.

OK, that is some of what is going on here. Talk to you soon. Writers, go walk. clear your mind. Get more oxygen to your brain. You can do it Make it happen.
