[Writer Post] Moving Forward
I’ve tried to write this blog a couple of different times today. Neither one worked. I could write about the elections, but I won’t. I could write about the vitriol, the fear, and the anguish on my social media feeds, but I won’t. That would just be adding to the noise. Instead… lets talk about […]
[Writer Post] Taking a Trip to Oz
Maybe the Wizard can give me a brain. I admit to being completely disjointed and unfocused for the last couple of weeks. My concentration has been crap. Creative output? A complete farce. I mention this because it’s NANOMO – or NANOWRIMO – whichever. It’s National Novel Writing Month, and I laugh in its general direction. […]
[Writing Post] Story Sale and Even Keels
What a difference a week or two makes. We’re in the second full week of October, and I can finally say I feel like all the weight and stress of the past few months is lifting. And if not completely lifting, at least shifting back to normal stuff. I SOLD A STORY! And not just […]
[Pen/Pencil Review][Conventions][Writing] COMBO POST!!!!!
YAY! COMBO POST! Pens, writing, and conventions because it’s just that week. Heck, it’s just that month. September is my most busy and stressful month of the year – and this week is the biggest week in the month. Day Job has a big event. FenCon starts (for staff) technically Wednesday. Parents 50th Anniversary is […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Oh, Hey, Labor Day!
Happy Labor Day! Love having a Federal Holiday right after a convention – it’s awesome. We got back from Geekinomicon last night. It was awesome and exhausting, and we’ll talk about that on Wednesday. It’s also the day we celebrate my Mom’s birthday — tonight we GRILL! (Actually in about 45 min!) There’s an amazing […]
[Writer Post] The Reset
The last little while my Day Job has eaten my life. My niece got married. Went to TWO different memorial services. And I swear doctors get paid by the “you really should do something about your weight” lectures. But I made a promise to myself about this time last week that on Monday, July 18th, […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The PaperMate InkJoy – GREEN – 0.7mm
Today’s blog post is a revisit that isn’t a revisit. Today we meet the Paper Mate InkJoy GREEN GEL pen. This retractable pen is something that makes me happy -it’s a solid, dark, vibrant green ink (even if I can only get ONE in the 0.7mm). The ink is really good. I do give Paper […]
[Writer Post] AFK
The last week has been rough. I’ve been away from the keyboard as much as possible. Some of it has been okay – Jimmy’s best friend was in town from Colorado. Then my Day Job came crashing down around our heads. As all of you know from either my social media or, say, the national/international […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Day Job Takes Precedence This Week
I was going to do my best to do a blog post today… It’s not going to happen. This is my Day Job Life right now – through early Wednesday, at least. And there’s a bunch of family descending on my house tonight for dinner. Bear with me. Even though I have the tons and […]
