I’d love to have something insightful or meaningful to say about writing or storytelling this morning. The truth is, I’m all but tapped out. I’m gearing up for PAX East 2013, where I will be working as an Enforcer. Unfortunately I am more stressed than I am excited; there’s a snag with the scheduling and… Continue reading PAX Prep

Writer Report: Ongoing Change
Things continue to change around here, mostly for the better. The workout regimen is causing some pain, but I expected that. My gym membership entitles me to a free training session, which I will use to ensure I’m executing my lifts correctly, and also that I’m using the right apparatus for attempts at chin-ups. Some… Continue reading Writer Report: Ongoing Change
Writer Report: Winning Is Losing
I really didn’t expect to throw myself into this change the way I have. Change is always difficult, and it can be more sweeping than we realize. I’m going to make myself more mindful of what I eat (yes, moreso than before). I need to adjust my sleeping schedule. And I have to get serious… Continue reading Writer Report: Winning Is Losing
Turn And Face The Fit
Some serious changes are continuing to happen on my end of things. I’m looking down the aperture of a legitimate workout regimen with the intent of finally losing a decent amount of weight. It’s my hope that doing so will also yield higher levels of energy and motivation throughout the days and weeks. The life… Continue reading Turn And Face The Fit
Writer Report: Goals and Targets
I’ve been dropping words here and there into Cold Streets this week. I have the feeling that I’m reaching the top of the hill, and that in a couple hundred words, things are just going to take off. Moreso than the first novella, this one is taking its time getting to really juicy peril, and… Continue reading Writer Report: Goals and Targets
Early Adoption, Preorders, and the PS4
Courtesy The Escapist Last night saw the big announcement and unveiling of Sony’s next generation of console, the PlayStation 4. Actually, ‘unveiling’ is a misnomer, as the console itself was a no-show. The crowd in the room and people who managed to watch the stream got a whole bunch of specs for the new device,… Continue reading Early Adoption, Preorders, and the PS4
Success is Repetition
If you’re anything like me, you saw Chuck’s post on the Authorial Sludgebody yesterday and resolved to follow his beardy, foul-mouthed example: pick up the pace on exercise and more closely monitor diet. Great! You might have even hit certain goals, like getting in an entire hour of exercise (be it all at once or… Continue reading Success is Repetition
Writer Report: Blog State
While working on Cold Streets does take up most of my writing time, I do take notice of trends here on the blog. And it seems to me that my hits have diminished somewhat over the past week. I’m not sure why this is, but I’m going to keep at it. I have plenty of… Continue reading Writer Report: Blog State
Gaming in 2013
The new year is in full swing. I’m starting it off writing by carving out writing time on a daily basis (for the most part, more tomorrow on that). But once the writing is done, and with Fringe done and Sherlock‘s third season not yet underway, what sort of amusements fill my time once I… Continue reading Gaming in 2013
Writer Report: Momentum
After a long dry spell, it’s nice to have the feeling of getting writing accomplished again. I’m still not entirely sure what was keeping me from making progress on Cold Streets. I guess my time management skills still wax and wane after all of this time. After playing Spec Ops and The Walking Dead (review… Continue reading Writer Report: Momentum
