Event Reminder and Other Stuff…
Okay, so my titles aren’t the most creative. I need to work on that…
Hey, all… I just wanted to send out a quick reminder.
Mom (Marilyn Eudaly) and I will be participating in the TCU BOOKSTORE’s
Chicken Soup in the Cafe
Friday, November 7 at 7 p.m.
TCU Barnes and Noble
2950 W. Berry St. (corner of W. Berry and [...]
Deadlines
Gotta love ‘em. Really. They’re motivating and panic inspiring.
Right now, I’m in “panic” mode. I have a month to get a ~1500 word short story sent to a market. I have no idea what that story is going to be. Now, when I get on a roll, ~1500 words isn’t a problem, it’s [...]
Don’t Forget to Vote…
I LOVE Bob the Squirrel. And today’s sentiment is EXACTLY why I did Early Voting with 28,000+ other people in my county yesterday. I’m done. It’s over. Not talking about it. Don’t ask me. I don’t have to pay any attention to anyone about anything politics related for two more years now.
Weeks Should ALWAYS Begin on Tuesday…
There has been the Black Clouds of DOOM hanging over my head for the past week easy. Our niece’s baby shower and shopping trip with Mom was the “Eye” of that particular storm. But as of today, the storm seems to have past.
There is still some recovery stages: I’m getting over being disappointed in not [...]
The 27th Time’s the Charm
THIS morning that I found an acceptance letter for my story, “Justice Survives”. It sold to Chaos Theory: Tales Askew. It’s an online market. I’ll post the link when it goes live in a couple of weeks. I went back over my submission log. It’s taken 1 YEAR, 2 MONTHS, and 9 DAYS for the [...]
Today’s Pieces and Parts
I’ve put up my first “guest blog” article on FanHistory.Com. I’ll be contributing over there a couple of times a month.
I’ve put this week’s piece up on StrangeWords.Net – which is a more technical piece on the problems with the Burn Notice book.
I need to update my FanHistory page, now that I know anything pretty [...]
For Discussion – When Does Self-Promotion Go Too Far?
I originally posted a variation of this on my Live Journal, but I’m opening it up here for more discussion.
When is “writer ho-ing” (self-promotion) going too far? Or when does “self-promotion” become “self-sabotage” – or does it?
This stemmed from taking a group off my notification email list because of a discussion begun over there [...]
Friday, November 7 – Mark Your Calendars
On Friday, November 7 – 7 p.m. – TCU Barnes and Noble on the corner of W. Berry and University…
Chicken Soup for the Soul event.
We don’t know what it’s going to be yet, but there are going to be four or five local Chicken Soup authors talking about something and signing books, etc.
Mom and I [...]
What I’m Reading – Burn Notice
Okay, so I give up numbering these things. I’ve forgotten. And I’m changing to titles rather than authors… Today’s offering — a media tie-in.
Burn Notice: The Fix
Price: USD 6.99
45 used & new available from USD 2.99
Let me preface this by saying I’m a huge proponent on media tie-in. I’m not one of those writers who [...]
A Writerly Rant…
I’m a freelance writer. I troll the boards looking for project work on a regular basis. There are two things that torque me off — the obvious one is the incomprehensively low pay. But I’m not here to point out the obvious — again. Unfortunately, I’m also a freelance writer with morals, ethics, and *gasp* [...]
