[Writer Post] Last Week’s Post – Today
So last week, I had a plan…it was derailed. So I’m picking it back up. It’s half plan, half minor rant – which lead to something I didn’t realize about myself (sort of). So it’s going to be different… I’ve been thinking about what I want to do with this part of the blog. And […]

It’s a Writer Wednesday, and so many people I know are heading off to San Diego Comic Con. I hope everyone has a fun and safe time. If you’re a fan, please spend your time and money with the authors and artists out there. I know the collectibles are awesome and having the chance to […]
[Writer Post] It’s A HEADDESK Kind of Day
I really had high hopes for this week. It actually started out well. I was caught up on all my paying gigs. I did some catch up work on one of my novels – there’s chore typing that needs doing. I’ve made some inroads on one of the pending projects – I need to start […]
[Writer Post] In Which I Wax Philosophical
Hello, Wednesday. How are you today? Me, I’m a bit cross-eyed from counting itty-bitty teeny tiny diamonds at my Day Job. I’ve been contemplating today’s topic. Waiting for that lightning bolt of inspiration to strike… and here we are. Nothing has happened today to equal “earth-shattering kaboom†– not that there should be earth shattering […]
[Writer Blog] Slacker Brain Plot Bunnies and Little Voices
There’s no good upheaval – well, new upheaval – in the publishing world this week. It helps let things settle, but makes it more difficult to come up with something to write about. And that’s not to mean the latest upheaval is over by any means, the Resnick/Malzberg/SFWA issue rages on degree of issue. Good […]

[Writing Post] YOIKES AND AWAY!!!! THUD
That’s how I feel on this lovely Wednesday (that feels like Tuesday because Monday was a holiday – but wasn’t). HOWEVER the giant truck that is Scarborough Renaissance Festival is over for another year. So starting…well, NOW…I’m getting back on track. There WILL be writing of things that aren’t DIRECTLY RELATED to today’s paycheck. Feel […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Apologies…It’s Tuesday
I apologize. Monday completely got away from me. There was no blog post. But I have a spiffy new order in from JetPens, and stuff coming in from Pentel. I am also going to do an inventory what still needs to be reviewed from previous holidays, and I’m going to get organized and get a […]
[Spotlight Post] William Shatner
Spotlight day…. and since we’re a week out of Dallas Comic Con, I’m going to talk about William Shatner today, since I will be at least in the same room with him next Saturday – and that’s about it. William Shatner has always been a fixture in my life. I grew up watching everything Star […]
