About Me

Hello my fellow Politiores Troglodytes. This Blog is a collection of Posts, Poems, & Short Stories that I write on a daily basis. If you find it entertaining, informative, and controversial, then I have done my job properly. Thank goodness too, because Karma has been on my case of late. I'm supposed to bring fifty people into the fold or I'll have to give back the part of Einstein's brain I inherited. No, I'm not one of the Scientists who got a piece of his brain when he died. Karma said, "Eat this knowledge. It'll make you smarter!" The bargain I made with Karma was, if I could change fifty people into Politiores Populos, I would be rewarded with my very own Lamborghini. So, that's my story and I'm sticking to it! Like what you're reading, then read on. P.S. Populo is Latin for people. Politiores is Latin for educated. Troglodytes is English for troglodytes. And Einstein's brain was stolen by Thomas Stoltz Harvey after his death in 1955 and eventually divvied up into 240 pieces. If you just read that last sentence, then you have just learned something and I'm just that much closer to fulfilling my commitment to Karma!

Does Anyone Need A Job?

 I like to believe that I'm an avid reader.
I'm wondering,
do audio books count when I'm on my daily walk
or driving in my car?
Unfortunately,
I started reading late in life.
I never brought homework
or my school books after class because I could get a passing grade without trying too hard.
I did try reading comic books as a kid,
but never really got into it consistently.
  It wasn't until I was in
High School
when the bug bit me.
It started when my brother gave me
to read.
The Hobbit: 75th Anniversary Edition by J. R. R. Tolkien, Hardcover |  Barnes & Noble®
After that,
the wonderful worlds of imagination I found inside of books has been a constant joy in my life.
I do read the occasional nonfiction book
but on the whole I'm a fiction fan.
That is why I try writing fiction myself these days.
There is a joy in writing a story where you create a person,
place,
or thing out of nothing
and it all comes from your imagination.
I'm writing two fiction stories right now,
where I already have about 52,000 words for each.
The problem I have is editing.
I have a real hard time editing my own work.
I do query
Literary Agents
once in awhile
but I always get the same type of email which states,
"Nice work. Let me know when you are done editing it."
The consensus is that I'm a bit too wordy.
I might start a
project to publish my book.
I haven't decided yet.
But,
anyone who signs up as a
Follower
on my
Blog
will get a free copy of the first book I get published.
Also,
if I do start a
Kickstarter Project
the people who donate to it will receive a free copy too!

This is,

Unfortunately I Cannot Promise Paying You Until I Sell My First Book
Jim Hauenstein,

And,

“Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” 
 
That is my story and I am sticking to it!
