My latest book is from my own experience and here's how I approached it 'plot' wise: I wrote about my experience during the summer of '86 while on a work study program between my junior and senior year at Ohio State.

The best ‘Why I didn’t show up for work’ excuse.

Need an excuse for missing work? Here’s one. NOTE: I’m writing the follow-up to my current book, ‘The Adventures of an Air Force Medic.’ My ‘work in progress’ answers the question, ‘What crazy adventure does Sean Mitchell (main character) get up to next?’ This article is a snippet from my first draft.

Topics Mentioning This Author

Henry David Thoreau
“What I have observed of the pond is no less true in ethics. ... Such a rule ... draws lines through the length and breadth of the aggregate of a man's particular daily behaviors ... where they intersect will be the height or depth of his character.”

Henry David Thoreau
“I learned this, at least, by my experiment: that if one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours.”
Henry David Thoreau, Walden: Or, Life in the Woods
