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
COMING NEXT WEEK: A NEW PODCAST
Just a quick hello to let you know that the Sekrit Projekt™ I had mentioned in the last entry will be happening. I am still farther behind on it than I would like to be, but I have four of the five interviews I need already in the can… so if I don’t do it,… Continue reading COMING NEXT WEEK: A NEW PODCAST
WRIMO IS COMING
It’s that time again! Autumn shifts the color palette in many parts of the country, and Orange is the new Yellow as October dawns. You know what that means… We have survived another trip around the sun. This blog turned a year old at some point last month, but more importantly, October means that National… Continue reading WRIMO IS COMING
IT’S COMING… REALLY
Hey, look — it’s an image! Just don’t get too excited, I’m still doing it wrong. WRITING IN PUBLIC After the last entry’s whine session, I decided to kick my own butt and re-join the world of Camp NaNoWriMo. I don’t recall offhand, but I think this might be the first time I have done… Continue reading IT’S COMING… REALLY
LITTLE OF THIS, LOT OF GAMES
So… hi there. Here in the northern hemisphere of the globe, Spring is about to… well, spring. The cold and clouds of a rainy winter have dissipated in Southern California in favor of that hateful ball of light in the sky this region is known for. Soon temperatures will climb enough that my Grumpy jacket… Continue reading LITTLE OF THIS, LOT OF GAMES
IT HAS ENDED
WARNING: This post is going to be extraordinarily long, so I’m going to do us all a favor and not beat around the bush. NaNoWriMo is over. I won. Again. #14. (Winning just means that I wrote 50,000 or more words in the month of November.) If you want to stop reading now, you have… Continue reading IT HAS ENDED
IT HAS BEGUN
Here we are, in the thick of it. National Novel Writing Month is upon us, and like last year, I started off way behind. In full disclosure mode, “writing in public” like Dean Wesley Smith, and just because I did not do a single blog entry in October — what the *blank* is wrong with… Continue reading IT HAS BEGUN
NATIONAL NOVEL WRITING MONTH
So far, this blog has not been quite as regular as I would like it to be. Part of the reason for that is simply the lazy in me. (There’s a lot of that.) Another part, which stems from the first, is that I have not written anything, so there is nothing to report. Writing… Continue reading NATIONAL NOVEL WRITING MONTH
