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)
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. Heaven forbid someone cease to be “relevant” but… Continue reading SOCIAL MEDIA FOR THE ANTISOCIAL
LYING, AND THE LIARS THAT LIE ABOUT LYING
I don’t really have much to report this month. Comedy of Terrors has sold a few more copies (I’m in two more libraries, one in audio format!) but beyond that, I’m still in limbo. Feeling much less “bleah” about it, so that’s a plus. I get flashes here an there, but no solid ideas have… Continue reading LYING, AND THE LIARS THAT LIE ABOUT LYING
HAPPY NANOWRIMO 2020!
It’s November! (Go vote.) Oh, yeah, and National Novel Writing Month began yesterday. I guess that’s a thing. That I have been doing for fifteen years. Of course, since I am writing this ahead of time, I do not know how my first day went. I hope I wrote a bunch of many words. If… Continue reading HAPPY NANOWRIMO 2020!
SAME CRAP, DIFFERENT MONTH
It’s October! Where the hell does the time go? (Of course, for the people “stuck” in quarantine, they’re all wondering how I’m saying it’s October, when it’s clearly March 200th or some such.) In the last month, there is not a whole lot to report. I have an announcement that I’ve been sitting on, but… Continue reading SAME CRAP, DIFFERENT MONTH
THE POWER IS YOURS
This entry is the one you have been long dreading. Heck, it’s the one I’ve been dreading. I swore to myself I would never write this entry in my public author blog. I would relegate it strictly to my personal journal. This is the entry no one ever wants to see. But I feel like… Continue reading THE POWER IS YOURS
AS THE WORLD BURNS
Some writers I follow out there on the interwebs talk about something called “season of life” from time to time. For them, that seems to be things like the ages of their children, their marital status and/or problems, or things that actually happen in the course of normal human existence.Humans, am I right?I look at… Continue reading AS THE WORLD BURNS
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
