From The Archive
But, for the record – any day at a Day Job that requires the use of an Exact-O Knife is a good day. Apollocon starts tomorrow, and I’ll be busy, so here’s this week’s archived writer post early… From November 2008 It’s November again. That means it’s National Novel Month – NaNoMo – and the [...]
Writer’s Blog – Wheaton’s Law Revisited and ApolloCon
So, ApolloCon 2010 rapidly approaches – as in, we leave in less than 48 hours. I’m looking forward to it. But as with any convention approaching, it sparks my brain to things like packing and professionalism. Yes, when it comes to writing, it always seems to come back to professionalism, doesn’t it? I’ve been reading [...]
Works In Progress
Okay, so I’m down to basically my last notebook for catching up of new material. This catching up project still has quite the ways to go, but I’m progressing (and there’s still some editing clean up work to do). I feel good about what’s been accomplished this week. Both the novel projects are DEFINITELY novel [...]
Writerly Post – Getting Back on the Horse – or Wagon
Hey, look at me go, I’m doing my post a touch early this week. Yay! So, as a writer – and in the interest of full disclosure – I’ve mentioned I’ve fallen off my wagon of being a consistently productive writer. I’ve fallen so far off my wagon that even my subconscious got into the [...]

From the Archive – FenCon V
See I told you this went back a couple of years… I debated about adding this one, but an archive is all of them, and it fits with talking about Soonercon earlier this week. Enjoy… FenCon V is rapidly approaching. FenCon V runs October 3-5, 2008 in Dallas, TX. It is the largest fan-run, literary [...]
Glory, Hallelujah…Progress
As I’ve mentioned (a lot) the last couple of months have been stupid busy and exhausting. I have gotten some writing done but not a lot. And most of that has been piddling with old plot bunnies to see if there’s life in any of them – what there was was no life in me [...]
Writerly Post – Writers and Dignity
We don’t need no stinkin’ dignity… I’ve just returned from SoonerCon in Oklahoma City. Except for one weird thing – they didn’t do autographing sessions at all, don’t know why – this was the best run, most fun SoonerCon I’ve been to. And the kicker? The hotel did not try to kill me this year. [...]
From the Archives – Introduction to Plot Bunnies
Plot bunnies come in various shapes forms and names – though generally in the animal family: hamsters, monkeys, etc. But given context, most writers know what these are. I call them plot bunnies since, for me, they’re much like living, breathing versions of dust bunnies under furniture or lurking in the corner. They come in [...]
New Releases – A Bubba In Time Saves None!
I’ve already mentioned that I’ll be participating in SoonerCon in OKC this weekend – flying about being busy and having a great time (BTW, I hear rumors the YDP Road Show is being videoed and may end up on YouTube…) BUT ALSO… A Bubba in Time Saves None! will be released!!! This includes my story, [...]
