So it’s been another minute or two since we last had a chance to catch up. A few things have happened in that time. Some amazing. Some not so much. Here’s the short version: On October 21, 2025, I had surgery on my right eye. As late as November, I still had a little residual… Continue reading THE LONG ROAD TO RESTORING VISION

FEAR AND EXPECTATION
Six years ago, when I published Seeing Red, I had zero fear and zero expectation. I wanted to give this “self publishing” thing a try, but I kept my personal stakes low. Based on all my other forays into “the public eye,” having high hopes would lead to massive disappointment. (In the misspent youth of… Continue reading FEAR AND EXPECTATION
TO BE OR NOT TO BE… A WRITER
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
EYES AND EARS: A PERSONAL SAGA
Welcome to the roller coaster that is life. If you’re just joining us, sorry for the crap show. It was like this even before I got here. And the people in charge are just making it worse and worse. There have been some developments in both my public and personal worlds, interestingly represented by eyes… Continue reading EYES AND EARS: A PERSONAL SAGA
THE 2024 GOAL THINGY
Another year, another entry about writing goals. The thing I try to keep in mind when doing these is that, although officially I am running a business, this is very much still a hobby to me. When a hobby isn’t fun, I put it off, and the more pressure I put on myself to get… Continue reading THE 2024 GOAL THINGY
A HOLDING PATTERN
I don’t really have anything to talk about this month. The closest thing to interesting that I’ve done at all over the last couple of months is watch some movies. Some of those movies I’ve seen before, most I have not. It’s sad that this is even news, considering when I got on the internet… Continue reading A HOLDING PATTERN
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
ANALYSIS PARALYSIS
(Or, HOW AI HAS MADE ME INCAPABLE OF DECIDING WHAT TO WRITE) Hello imaginary people on the internet who I pretend care about the things I have to say. It is your old pal, Random Writer from the internet. Today I want to talk about a phenomenon I’m pretty sure I’ve mentioned once or twice… Continue reading ANALYSIS PARALYSIS
SEEKING THE WHY
(Author’s NOTE: Some of these segments were written in mid-January and others in early February. I apologize if such time difference makes this disjointed in any way.) Back in April of 2022, I posted about my struggles finding the why of my writing. I won’t repeat it all here; if you really want to know… Continue reading SEEKING THE WHY
WHEN YOU CAN’T FIND YOUR WHY
Fair warning: This may turn out to be another one of those whiny “too much honesty from a random internet writer” kinds of entries no one likes. You are invited to skip it. There’s enough venom and vitriol flying around the internet, so if my adding to it would be too much, I wish you… Continue reading WHEN YOU CAN’T FIND YOUR WHY
