[Writer Post] Brain is Fried
I wish I had something to talk about today. But I don’t. This is a marathon week in the Day Job and though I’m getting writing work done, it’s clean up work or editing. There have been a few new words, but I’m doing what I can. I have a short story due very soon. I need to wrestle it ito submission.
Royalties are coming in. Tarbox had a very good showing. THANK YOU. But because I’ve not been overly active in pushing the chapbook ebooks – those have been, well, sad (and that’s on me). Huh, I might want to make stickers to put on my business cards with the Amazon Author Page link. That might help.
Saturday if you’re in West DFW, I’ll have a table at the Weatherford Comic Con. It’s 11-4 outside the Knights of Pythian Hall. There will be other familiar faces – and it’s a new part of town, but I have some reservations. We’ll see how it goes. Then maybe I’ll have something to write about next week.
But now to crash before a very long day tomorrow. Then a FenCon Meeting on Sunday after the thing on Saturday. Whee!
Busy. Busy. Busy – OH and allergy season, so there’s been THAT to deal with. SO ATTRACTIVE.
[Pen/Pencil Review] Sanford Uni-Ball Micro Roller 0.2mm
This week I’m looking at a classic – the Sanford Uni-Ball Micro roller ball stick pen. I’ve had a box of these in my cabinet for YEARS – seriously, years. These pens have been around – according to an Amazon product description – for over 30 years. I think I’ve had this box stuck in […]
[Writer Post] Changing the Narrative Pt 4 – Your Turn
Changing the Narrative continues – installment of Changing the Narrative is going to be INTERACTIVE. Hah! I’m going to make you do some work. When you have a flash of insight – or something – it needs to be pursued, right? Then I need to get back to stories. I have A LOOMING DEADLINE. Bwa […]
[Pen & Pencil Review] Scribal Workshop Inks and Crafts
It’s almost late, but I will get in a post today. This isn’t going to be a “traditional” review, more of a spotlight. I want to introduce fountain pen enthusiasts to a friend, artisan, and craftsperson – Lucas Tucker. Lucas Tucker is the owner and creator of SCRIBAL WORKSHOP. I’ve mentioned his inks before but […]
[Writing Post] Changing the Narrative (3) – Crowded Landscapes
A couple of weeks ago I talked about the economic value of fan-run conventions in the sea of media/pop culture events. Now I want to talk about the sheer number of events happening – especially in Dallas/Fort Worth. It’s an extremely crowded landscape. At first glance, you’d think having so many options would be a […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Just Mobile AluPen Pro Pelikan Ink
I have my good friend, John Husisian, for this week’s review. This is the pen he bought me for my birthday at Paradise Pen Company during the last pilgrimage. He gifted me with the Just Mobile AluPen Pro ballpoint pen and stylus. It was slightly overshadowed by the Vanishing Point, but no less appreciated. The […]
[Writer Post] Changing the Narrative Part 2
Once upon a time at a convention, I saw a t-shirt on display that basically told younger fandoms to “Get Off My Lawn”. Actually, I think those words were actually said the words “Get Off My Lawn”. It may be a one off or a test case. If a test case, I hope it was […]
[Updates] More Delays
I’m sorry about the holes in the blogs. Day Job has reared its head – we had a big event this morning that had me up AT WORK at 6 am (which meant out of bed at 4:30 am – 4:30 really should only happen ONCE a day…). We also had Spring Storms coming through […]
[Writer Post] Delay of Play
I meant to get to a blog post today. However, I’m also recovering from a bug, and I heard that my grandmother is in the hospital. And since what I intended to do requires some thought and time, it’s not going to happen tonight. Be back soon.
[Pen and Pencil Review] Sheaffer 100 Black Matte & Nickel
Even though I think I still have Christmas pens to review, I’m going to do my next birthday pen. So Many Pens. So Little Time! But they will eventually all get done. This week is a brand I’ve not featured often, they’re not a big part of my rotation, so it’s a nice change. Today […]
