[Writer Post] More-er and Better-er
Oh, wow, hello Wednesday. I’m glad to see you. Now to come up with something to write about. It’s been an interesting week – with the potential to swing to really good or really bad. I’m in a waiting pattern. The outcome depends on other people and their schedules, so nothing I can do but […]
[Writer Post] Back on the Horse
It’s Wednesday. That means blog day. I’m trying to get my rhythm back. But we’ve had an eventful couple of weeks, and recovery from FenCon always takes a wee bit longer than other conventions. But I have work to do, darn it. And Day Job has gone through some upheaval – which means more scurrying […]
[Spotlight Post] Remembering Eugie Foster and Lonnie Mitchell
What ended up being a fantastic FenCon ended with… not as much greatness. During tear down and the Dead Dog, I started catching up news feeds, then as Rand Bellavia of Ookla theMok put it… “I see sadness.” The sadness has continued into this week. I’m really tired of doing Memorial Spotlight posts. I’d started […]
[Writer Post] FenCon XI Approaches!
One more major disclaimer – there’s not going to be blog posts on Friday or Monday because of the Crazy Chaos (in a good way) that is FenCon. I will be doing my whirlwind tour of the Dallas Pen Show on Friday morning, Redheads is coming along. I’m working on making notes on one section […]
[Spotlight Post] Remembering Richard Kiel
This has been a season of memorial posts. I know things come in waves, but still. This week, the Science Fiction/Fantasy world lost Graham Joyce. I don’t recall having met him, but many on my social media networks knew him, respected him, and liked him. According to the posts, Joyce lost his battle with cancer. […]
[Writer Post] Internet Slow Down
Net Neutrality is important. Just say NO to “Fast Lanes”. If you haven’t signed a petition or emailed your congresscritters – do it now. This affects all of us – small and large blogs alike.
[Spotlight Post] Joan Rivers & Throne and Bones by Lou Anders
I mentioned on Friday that I would blog about a book and an author. I am going to do that, but I also have to mention a passing first. So a moment of respect for Joan Rivers. Yesterday we all heard the news of Joan Rivers’ passing. She was 81. She has always been part […]
[Writer Post] It’s September – Run for the Hills!
Weeks with holidays are both amazing and disconcerting. There wasn’t a pen post (obviously) on Monday because of the Labor Day holiday (and I took a holiday). But that’s thrown my whole brain pattern off… though I logically (and from the calendar) know that today is Wednesday -there’s still part of me – and my […]
[Writer Post] Deadlines Approach
I’ve started this blog three times now and deleted it twice. I’ve been trying to figure out what I want to say – if anything this week. I’m writing. I’m revising. I may actually be on track for my Redheads deadline. But mostly I’m tired – truly looking forward to the (in the US) three-day […]
[Spotlight Post] Flashpoint – Cross Post
I head out to ArmadilloCon in a few hours, so one more crosspost from Celtic Music Magazine. This one is a local DFW band called Flashpoint Flashpoint intrigued me when I saw their EP, “A Timely Misadventure,” come up on the list for review. Not just because they’re local to me, and I do like […]
