Wow, can you believe we are already almost halfway through another year? Time flies when you’re sitting on your keister staring at a screen watching YouTube videos when you’re not at JOB. Or commuting to and from JOB. But more on that later. The first thing to announce is so important there is actually a… Continue reading JUNE IS AUDIOBOOK MONTH (AND OTHER TRUE STORIES)

COMPARISONITIS AND IMPOSTER SYNDROME
There are a couple of common issues in the writing community: Comparisonitis and Imposter Syndrome. Let’s talk about those for a sec, shall we? (No, this is not a “woe is me” kind of post. It’s just a thing I keep seeing cropping up and want to share my irrelevant opinion.) Comparisonitis is the writing… Continue reading COMPARISONITIS AND IMPOSTER SYNDROME
SOCIAL MEDIA FOR THE ANTISOCIAL
I’m on Facebook. I’m on Twitter. I’m even on Instagram. I don’t particularly enjoy any of these. There is a widely-known (or publicized, at any rate) rule that an author must have a social media presence. That is how the author remains “relevant” to society at large.

For every generalized truth, there are any number of exceptions. In the world of advice,… Continue reading THE WOES OF A WRITER
Hello Again, World!
The previous incarnation of this website had to be eliminated. I switched to a new web host, and although the WordPress documentation claimed that “migrating is simple,” apparently I’m dumber than a not-yet-compiled code. (I don’t even know what that term means!) As time permits, I will try to go back into the past and… Continue reading Hello Again, World!
YET ANOTHER GOALS POST
(See what I did there? Yup–it’s the same old joke, told for the seventy billionth time!) Back at the end of 2019, I did a recap of the year and a prediction of what to expect in the year to come. I’d like to do that again, maybe even bringing in last year’s goals to… Continue reading YET ANOTHER GOALS POST
