[Conventions] ConDFW 2018 Programming
ConDFW is this weekend. It’s bittersweet having a convention and knowing Bill Crider won’t be there ever again. They also had their Guest of Honor cancel, so it’s going to be weird, but it’s going to be fun (DARN IT!) We’ll make this year awesome yet. Here’s where I’ll be and when. Saturday is also […]
[Writer Post] Cancer Can Suck It
I just found out an author near and dear to me is going into hospice because of cancer after losing his lovely wife to a different varietal of this stupid disease. So this post is about the anthology project I’m editing. I have three stories so far for the anthology – one is a very […]
[Writer Blog] Taking On a New Project for Charity
It’s Wednesday. It’s blog day. My head is in NO kind of game today. There are a variety of reasons, none of them are important. Houseguests are in flux. House is ready (again) for the holidays for the most part. Personal appearances are over for the year. Stuff needs to get done – and yet, […]
[Writer Post] It’s Been An Interesting Week (non-Chinese Proverb Version)
For a short work week with a vacation (that kinda wasn’t), it was a busy week last week that made me remember some reasons why I do what I do. I won’t even begin to touch on Spectrum Fantastic Art Live! this week. Because a promise I made a few weeks ago appeared. I told […]

And, we’re taking a day trip on Saturday to Killeen, TX for reasons which will be another blog post so more schedule whacking (somehow […]

[Writer Post] Season’s Confessions
Merry Wednesday Before Christmas. All is TRYING to be Merry and Bright, but I admit this year the holidays a bit of a struggle. It’s not just because 2016 has been a year punctuated by a random acts of suckage, but because there’s also been a lot of OFF. I know I say I don’t […]
[Writing Post] And hey…It’s Wednesday
Yes, this day nearly got away from me. But here I am once again, getting a blog post in. These four day work weeks are AWESOME for the long weekends, but heck on knowing what day it is. We spent a lovely weekend in south Texas – beyond San Antonio – in the middle of […]
[Writer Post] Words, Conventions, Drama
It’s Wednesday. Trying to be on track. Trying to avoid convention drama – but I was the cause of some it, so that ship sailed. And for a short work week, it’s been a very stressful, chock full of STUFF week (except Monday – the holiday – that was pretty low key). But hey, I […]
