Due to reasons, which will be made clear when I am able to make it, this month’s post will be postponed by a week, possibly two. There is nothing to worry about, but I need the extra time. All will be explained. I appreciate your patience.

WHY I CHOSE TO INDIE (SELF) PUBLISH
Depending on who you ask, there either is or is not still a stigma surrounding self-publishing. The “is” people will tell you that your writing has not been vetted by the proper people, that it has not been through the rigorous editing process. You are an unknown quantity, and only certain people are qualified to… Continue reading WHY I CHOSE TO INDIE (SELF) PUBLISH
THE MID-YEAR CHECK-IN
Time. It keeps passing, no matter how many times I take hold of the hourglass and demand the sands stop running. It just won’t listen to me. It’s fine, though. I’ll take my revenge by getting older and older, and when time no longer recognizes me… uh… well, it will keep passing. That’s just what… Continue reading THE MID-YEAR CHECK-IN
JUNE IS AUDIOBOOK MONTH (AND OTHER TRUE STORIES)
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)
THE WOES OF A WRITER
One thing I hate when it comes to writing advice, as I know I’ve said here before, and the one thing I refuse to do when talking about writing myself, is to claim that every writer’s journey is the same. 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
REVISITING GOALS
I like goals. I would not necessarily say I am goal-oriented in general, but when it comes to writing, there is something about setting my sights on a number of words written in a specific amount of time and trying to hit that number. It is one of the reasons National Novel Writing Month appeals… Continue reading REVISITING GOALS
THE MAY “UPDATE”
I wish I had something pithy or newsworthy to share this month. So far it is “life” as usual, minus the gaming stuff due to plague. Three people have bought my new book* so far. What is wrong with them? Of course, my one blog reader is already pestering me for a May entry, so… Continue reading THE MAY “UPDATE”
FIRST POST! (OF 2020)
What I am calling Year of the Hindsight has started with a fizzle. Lofty goals and intentions have petered out and been replaced with the same old lethargy and laziness that has plagued my existence since I can remember. Let’s break this down: WRITING IN PUBLIC When the word-count goal was first conceived, I intended… Continue reading FIRST POST! (OF 2020)
