[Writer Post] The First Post of 2013
It’s the first Writer post of 2013. I suppose I should say something profound…or at least SOMETHING. To many the first of the year is a recovery time (especially today the 2nd) from the holidays. To others it’s a time to hit the ground running. I fall somewhere in between – today I’m at a […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Boxing Reindeer Ball Point Pen
It’s not a holiday season without at least one funny novelty pen. This one was a gift from my mother. And after this review it’s not going to actually ever really be used as a pen again. It’s much more fun as a toy. This is a boxing reindeer ball point pen. The ink point […]
[Spotlight Post] Larry Launders – Christmas Co-Conspirator
I’m having a “GAH†day, I think. I know I’ve called this the “Tis the Season for Time Managementâ€, but this is getting out of hand. I had a couple of other things crop up into my week this week that weren’t planned and now have thrown off the delicate balance that I had going. […]
[Spotlight Post] Thanksgiving 2012 Edition
I’m cheating on this week’s Spotlight post. Since it’s the day after Thanksgiving and my Wednesday post was a rant, I’m going to spotlight what I’m thankful for this year – and well, all the time. First of all, I’m thankful for a supportive family who has suck by me in my employment challenges of […]
[Writer Post] A Deep Breath Week
IT’s Wednesday. That means blog post day It’s also the week before Thanksgiving. I have a lot to be thankful for – one of those being that nothing has blown up in publishing this week. We’re all moving along at a recovery pace. NYC publishers are still recovering from Hurricane Sandy. Many are recovering from […]
[Writer Post] Election Aftermath
It’s Wednesday. That should mean a writer post – and in a way it is. The things that occur in the outside world affect the writing world. My thought s are still with my friends and colleagues on the East Coast who are about to be hit with more weather as they’re still dealing with […]
[Writer Post] Happy Halloween and Scary Mergers
Happy Halloween! Tis the season to be spooked and scared. And the publishing industry has had its share this week. Two mergers/buyouts have been announced in the last few days. One that only concerns us peripherally – in the terms of jokes and cautious optimism. One that can directly impact all authors on a fundamental […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Holiday Rerun – Mad Moravian Cigar Style Ballpoint Pen
Please forgive the rerun, not only is it the Labor Day holiday here in the US, I’ve been sick this lovely 3-day weekend. So I’m going to repost this review… Don’t go looking for this pen at your local Office Supply Chain Store or even your favorite online source. You won’t find it. In fact, […]

[Spotlight] This Week’s Spotlight is Preempted… Except for an ArmadilloCon Programming Preview
This has been a crazy week with job nibbles — including about 3 hours of software assessments that have left me completely brain much. A new self-publishing endeavor (it does seem to be coming together, though last night’s events may or may not effect that) has presented itself this week. Here’s hoping it works out. […]
