[Writer Post] Christmas Eve 2015 and Oopsies
MERRY CHRISTMAS! I know I’m a day late on my Wednesday post… yesterday was busy with good, bad, and an epic FAIL. But I’m making up for it. So the big writing news since the last week was Tor.Com announcing it is closing to “unsolicited submissions” starting January 7, 2016. This is sad, sad news […]
[Writer Post] How I Was Ripped Off
It’s Wednesday. Time for a blog post. Whee… So I checked out a meme on Facebook a few weeks back – how will you die based on your Meyers-Briggs personality test. Mine sounds about right – ESFJ, dies by telling the wrong secret to the wrong person. Yep. I can see that. It’s not that […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Oops
Yeah, hey look, it’s Tuesday. I’m sorry, I’m tracking down a missing JetPens shipment. I have a new computer, so I’m still getting used to everything. I’ll get it back up and running again very, very soon.
[Writer Post] Party, Writing, Etc.
Well, lookee there, it’s Wednesday. Happy blog day. In less than a week, we have a launch party for the novel at Roll2Play in Carrollton. I don’t want to overly push it, but I also don’t want to have a party where no one comes. The Roll2Play folks are too good for that. So, if […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Padrino Tech Silver Roller Ball Pen – Black Ink
This week’s pen is the last one of my birthday pens from Paradise Pen Company. This is one of their signature brand pens – a Padrino. This is the Padrino Tech Silver Roller Ball Pen in black ink. This is a moderately priced gift/luxury ball point pen. It retails for $45, but right now it’s […]
[Writer Post] And Here We Are
Man, I’ve been a huge slacker this week. The galley proofs for the book are back with Yard Dog Press, the next time I see it, it’ll be a real book, Pinocchio. There’s still something very surreal about that. And, after three weeks of travel, two conventions, three deadlines, adopting a new dog, and having […]
[Writer Post] Glutton for Punishment
Hey, lookee there, for one brief moment my head was actually above water – mostly figuratively. But since I’ve been dealing with flood stuff (part of the Day Job) for nearly a month, it’s also a wee bit literal. Our house and family is dry and safe – for the record. I’ve started getting a […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Post-Holiday Edition
Yeah, it’s Tuesday. We took a holiday yesterday. Saw a movie. Took a day off. And that was Monday. So there was, obviously, no review. What did happen was a discovery following a sudden thunderstorm (which have occurred with great regularity in Texas this month) and comforting the dog on the sofa. I lost my […]
[Writer Post] Overwhelmed, Busy, and Loving It
So Wednesday happened yesterday and I totally forgot about doing a blog post. Oops. I’m turning my thought processes around. This past month has thrown me out of my writing routine. I’ve not finished things like I ought – yes, part of this is “coulda/shoulda/woulda/oughta”. And now, it’s time to remedy that. Even though Real […]
[Writer Post] Returning to Normalcy
It’s Wednesday, and I’m writing a blog. Heck, I’m writing. That’s something. It’s a step back in the right direction. I lost some time between the dog and the virus that blew through our household. Normalcy is slowly returning. I’m trying really hard to get the Redheads rewrite done. This one has been a struggle […]
