I have this internal thing where I think I’m a writer one day, and the very next… nope. Not me. Not a writer. Anyone who has ever read one of my books likely wants to know in what universe I could ever think I’m a writer. That’s fair. Mean, but fair. This weekend as I… Continue reading TO BE OR NOT TO BE… A WRITER

LIFE, OR NOTHING LIKE IT
It’s another month where I have nothing of any real interest to say, and this time I don’t even have anything I’m particularly pumped about sharing here. I read Drew Barrymore’s memoir Wildflower, which I really liked, but beyond that my life is pretty much a void. (Not in the nihilistic, “existential crisis” sense, just… Continue reading LIFE, OR NOTHING LIKE IT
GOT A THING DONE
Hello, Hoopy Froods of the internet! I’m so happy to pretend you’re reading this today. A couple of weeks ago as I write this (which is about a week before this will post), I had a rare moment of “getting something finished.” I figured out how to get the AI audio files of the Seeing… Continue reading GOT A THING DONE
THE NANOWRIMO BLUES
You know me. I love National Novel Writing Month, that madcap event where thousands of writers try to pound together 50,000 words over the course of a single month. This thing has been part of my consciousness since I learned of its existence in 2004, and with only one exception I have participated every single… Continue reading THE NANOWRIMO BLUES
THE LONG-AWAITED NANOWRIMO RECAP POST
What? You weren’t awaiting this post? Well, I guess that means you should skip it and come back next week. Yes, I said week. We’ll talk about that at the end. Also, just the usual heads-up: This is a LOOOOOOOOOOONG blog entry. There is a lot for me to unpack. If you’re not interested in… Continue reading THE LONG-AWAITED NANOWRIMO RECAP POST
OFF TO THE RACES, AND THEN SOME
Hey there. Glad you stopped by, imaginary person. (I am not delusional enough to believe anyone ever reads this piece of garbage I spew out on a monthly basis.) As I write this, National Novel Writing Month is twelve hours away, and I am feeling eager and ready while still not exactly sure how the… Continue reading OFF TO THE RACES, AND THEN SOME
IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN!
In the wake of last month’s entry, I am left with the taste of anger and vitriol in my mouth, and some of the things happening in politics are not making it any better. However, I keep telling myself this is not the place to spew my political beliefs (though they will creep in, as… Continue reading IT’S THAT TIME AGAIN!
BOOK RELEASE IN THE TIME OF THE PLAGUE
Since my last bona fide blog entry, the entire world has changed. That seems like a hyperbolic statement, but it’s really not. Based on my admittedly limited knowledge, COVID-19 was still mostly contained on another continent with just the merest hint of landing on my shores. It was more an idea than any real threat.… Continue reading BOOK RELEASE IN THE TIME OF THE PLAGUE
COMEDY OF TERRORS: COMING VERY SOON!
What you are looking at is the cover to the book I have been tinkering with since November, 2018. Okay, that was the month I wrote the first draft. People donated to my NaNoWriMo fundraiser to have characters named after them — characters who would meet brutal and bloody ends. I purchased this cover before… Continue reading COMEDY OF TERRORS: COMING VERY SOON!
ANOTHER YEAR, ANOTHER WIN
I know it’s bad form to brag, but it’s true. I won NaNoWriMo 2019 with 55,555 words. This is win #15 in as many attempts. This will be another long recap post. As before, if you want to skip the rest, you have the gist of it. For everyone else, let’s do this in handy… Continue reading ANOTHER YEAR, ANOTHER WIN
