Courtesy Floating Robes Cold Streets is done. Well, the first draft is done, anyway. The sequel to Cold Iron (which, as a friendly reminder, you can buy here or here) was born out of a desire to lay a foundation for future, full-length projects. Once I take up the editing hat and really get down… Continue reading Writer Report: Hard Part's Over

One Day More
Writing, like any skill, needs to be practiced in order to maintain a certain level of competence. The nibs of pens and points of pencils must be sharpened. For me, writing flash fiction every week is how I got about doing that. Having to come up with a thousand words with a simple prompt keeps… Continue reading One Day More
Writer Report: Nearly There
I really do not like being sick. I’ve had to put exercising on hold as I recover from whatever it is that’s making my throat and muscles sore. I hope to be back in the gym on Monday, but I’m trying to be realistic. It may be a while before I’m back up to my… Continue reading Writer Report: Nearly There
Adopt A Writer
Take a moment to consider your entertainment. Books, movies, video games – there are so many ways to pass the time these days. All of these lovely distractions would not be possible without writers. And right now, there are many writers out there who need your help. There are some writers fortunate enough to already… Continue reading Adopt A Writer
What Is Your Profession?
Given everything that happened this past week and a half, it probably comes as no surprise that I made no progress in Cold Streets. I’m not certain where my Waterman pen is located. I took a sick day and still ended up doing dayjob work from home. Life still feels in upheaval, like all of… Continue reading What Is Your Profession?
Ye Olde Change of Plans
Darlings, I am busy as hell this week. Busier than I thought I would be. My original plans for the week in terms of productivity and relaxation both have been torpedoed gloriously. Instead of feeling charged and accomplished for my first PAX Prime, I feel old and worn out. The worst part is, PAX itself… Continue reading Ye Olde Change of Plans
The Author is Out: Seattle 2013
I’m in Seattle for the next week and half. Posts may be somewhat sporadic as I did not have the wherewithal before I left to ask folks for guest entries. I’m pretty well prepared in every other aspect of the trip, though! So I guess I can’t complain much. I will see what I can… Continue reading The Author is Out: Seattle 2013
Writer Report: Brief Respite
This is my week between travel in August. Otakon is behind me, and PAX Prime is ahead. The trip to Seattle will be much longer than the one to Baltimore, and I’ll have a bit more Internet access while I’m there. Reluctant as I am to check a bag, I think it’s going to be… Continue reading Writer Report: Brief Respite
Deluge Summer 2013
I was hoping to have time this morning to wrap up this week’s Flash Fiction after the start I got last night. Otakon wrapped up well, I travelled without incident, and went to bed thinking I can finish what I began before getting some much-needed rest. I woke up to find one of my neighbors… Continue reading Deluge Summer 2013
The Author Is Out: Baltimore 2013
I will be in Baltimore, Maryland for the Otakon anime convention for the weekend. If you’re in the area, look me up! I’ll be part of the staff, working with the Panels department. This should put Flash Fiction on Tuesday, and a review of a game on Wednesday. It’s about time I reviewed another game,… Continue reading The Author Is Out: Baltimore 2013
