[Spotlight Post] Sci Fi Expo 2014
It’s Friday. It’s Sci Fi Expo Eve. The boxes are packed. The table set up is ready to go. Jimmy and I will head over after I get off work to do the grunt work so we’re ready for anything tomorrow and Sunday. I’ll post information on where to find me later tonight when I […]
[Writing Post] Squirrel Brain, Epub, and Me
Welcome to Texas, we’re in frantic preparations for the possible “Icemeggedon” that could occur on Friday. The Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas isn’t quite as bad as Birmingham was when I lived there. Here there’s just a run on water, milk, bread, firewood – you know the essentials. In Birmingham, that threat induced grocery frenzy […]
[Spotlight Post] Devin Pike – Entertainment Entrepreneur
As I try to get everything back to normal after two crazy, crazy months, it’s time to get back to spotlight posts. Yup. Back to normal – whatever that means. It occurs to me that I haven’t actually done a spotlight on someone I’ve mentioned several times… Devin Pike. I met Devin – for apparently […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] A Rerun…The Sharpie Stainless Steel Pen
I spent this weekend at Dallas Comic Con. The Stainless Steel Sharpie pen is my signing pen. It’s the only one I use when I sign anymore because it really does work on all kinds of paper/material. I’ve even introduced it to a couple of artists. I am completely brain mush and there’s weather… so […]
[Spotlight Post] The Follow Spot Post
Today is supposed to be a spotlight post day, but I’m blargy today. I’ve cricked my neck. The weather is in flux. My Friday is turning into a Monday feeling. So this might be some kind of random post. Sorry. My focus is lacking today. So this is going to be a follow the bouncing […]
[Spotlight Post] Kevin Sorbo & Why I Look Forward to Meeting Him (Hopefully)
I’m still getting my bearings for this year’s round of spotlight posts. Which will kick up in full force (truly) next month when I start doing conventions again, I promise. And in preparation for that, I’m doing a little bit of revisiting and researching. For example… in a couple of weeks I venture back to […]
[Writer Post] Fan Days, Marketing, and Being Approachable
It’s writer post day! Whee!!! I’m still a little convention buzzed (and exhaustion hung over) but I’m functional and trying to be productive. We learned a lot by doing Dallas Comic Con Presents Fan Days. The bigger “for profit†media conventions are completely different entities than fan-run conventions – so what works for one doesn’t […]
[Writer Post] Writing is Such a Bipolar Profession
My apologies to those suffering from this disorder, I mean no offense, but the comparison is apt. Writing as a profession and publishing as an industry is incredibly bipolar. You’re either really UP or really DOWN. And the frightening thing is that it can be happening AT THE SAME TIME. I have an independent project […]
