You know, I had a pretty good blog post started last night. Talking about how important it is to write when you feel you can’t – like I’ve felt the last few weeks. Guess who forgot to save the post before his desktop went all wibbly-wobbly this morning and ate it? …So yeah. No new… Continue reading Apparently My Posts Are Tasty

Writer Report: Frantic
This week was a good news/bad news week in terms of writing. The good news was that I banged out some work for a project I’m not quite comfortable discussing yet. I need more details before I do that! The bad news is, I’ve been working the dayjob too hard to do much else. Hopefully,… Continue reading Writer Report: Frantic
Let's Give Thanks in 2013
We made it! Another year is drawing to a close, and once again I’m taking a moment to stop and think about what I’m thankful for. I still have my dayjob. I finished a second novella, and so far, the reaction is pretty positive. I’m on good medication and seeing an excellent therapist. I am,… Continue reading Let's Give Thanks in 2013
Writer Report: The Long Dark Highway
To paraphrase a line from Terminator 2, the future is like driving down a long highway in the middle of the night. Even if you know your destination, the road right in front of you is shrouded, dark, and uncertain. When there’s enthusiasm and hope, the darkness doesn’t matter as much as the destination, and… Continue reading Writer Report: The Long Dark Highway
Looking Back to Look Forward
I realized last night, putting a few things together, that it’s been over six years since I started blogging. Granted, it began in a very different form. I’m sure that there are some of you out there that remember a little blogging site called LiveJournal. That’s where this – *gestures vaguely at the current blog*… Continue reading Looking Back to Look Forward
My Least Favorite Post
A bit about my schedule: most of the time I do my best to write these things well in advance, and set them up to publish in the morning, because that’s the best way to get some decent traffic during the day. There are times when that isn’t possible. Yesterday was particularly bad to the… Continue reading My Least Favorite Post
Who Needs Sleep?
Well, you’re never gonna get it. As happy as I am with the outcome of this weekend, between JayCon and spending time with my family, it’s painfully apparent I didn’t get nearly enough sleep. I both failed to give myself enough time to tackle this week’s Flash Fiction challenge, and did not allow myself the… Continue reading Who Needs Sleep?
Writer Report: Winter's Here
We had our first snowfall here this past week. Temperatures have dropped and winds have picked up. Clearly, winter is on a little bit of a warpath this year. I’ve been trying to muster up similar motivation and dive further into Godslayer. It’s something of an experiment, I realized, as I looked over my outline… Continue reading Writer Report: Winter's Here
The Million Dollar Scholar
Back on Memorial Day I mentioned that while we remember the struggles, we sometimes forget the veterans. There are ways to avoid this, to show our support for those who have fought on our behalf, to tell these brave and damaged souls that we have not forgotten them. One of them is being organized by… Continue reading The Million Dollar Scholar
Writer Report: Calling Test Readers!
I’ll keep this short and somewhat to the point – the draft of Cold Streets is ready for test readers! As I work on Godslayer, outlining and possibly doing a world/character bible, I’ll be interested to hear what people have to say about my next novella. I want to hit as broad an audience as… Continue reading Writer Report: Calling Test Readers!
