[Writing Post] ConDFW and Entitlement
Rant Warning Ahead: It’s Wednesday. It’s a short week for me – taking off Friday for a 4-Day weekend (Monday is a Federal Holiday and the city has it off, YAY!) – that just means more stuff in less time. Yay? CONDFW… Let’s talk about ConDFW. It’s a small convention, very literary. I
[Writing Post] Geekinomicon and Deadlines
Annoucement (Especially my OKC folk!): GEEKINOMICON!, September 2-4, 2016 – I will be a panelist – and have a table in their Small Press area. One of the panels is already on the schedule – stuff is always being added. But there will be so much more to do than autographs and buying stuff. I […]
[Pen/Pencil Review][Writer Post] I Suck — As A Blogger
Because of crazy random happenstance I totally missed doing both my blogs this week. So… oops. In my best Stephen Amell/Green Arrow voice… I have FAILED. THIS. BLOG! At least this week. And… SoonerCon is in A DAY AND A HALF! Eep! But bright side? Tomorrow is my Friday at the day job — and […]
[Writer Post] Deadlines Approach
I’ve started this blog three times now and deleted it twice. I’ve been trying to figure out what I want to say – if anything this week. I’m writing. I’m revising. I may actually be on track for my Redheads deadline. But mostly I’m tired – truly looking forward to the (in the US) three-day […]
[Writer Post] You Might’ve Noticed…
That I didn’t get a post out yesterday. I tried, very late, and it was boogered. There was a reason. I was kicking butt on a deadline. I promised to get a manuscript out by this coming weekend. That means my redheaded stubbornness kicks in and I have to finish with time to spare. So […]
[Writer Post] D is for Deadline
Today’s blog is brought to you by the Letter “D” – “D” as in deadline. I can see the end of the novel that I need to send in by the 23rd – and no, it’s not the light of an oncoming train, it really is the end. And thusly, I’m in “Batten Down the […]
[Writer Post] Crazy Busy Updaty Timey Wimey Stuff
Suffering from a bit of “foot in mouth†disease today, but hey, I brought cupcakes, so hopefully that counters the slip of the tongue. So…updates… I’m stupid busy this week. What else is new? I have a half-finished short story for an end of the month deadline. Of course, then the freelance gig I have […]
[From the Archive] Conventions Inspire Creativity
Another Blast from the Past – 2009. _______ FenCon is one of my most exciting and exhausting conventions of the year. I pull double duty here – as Guest of Honor Liaison and as Writer-Chick. It also turns out to be one of the more inspiring conventions. However, it will probably be days before I […]
[Writer Post] Be Careful What You Wish For
You know the phrase, “Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it?” Yeah, well, that’s what happens when you start talking about the need to implement all your Time Management skills. It’s like praying for patience. You end up in situations where you NEED that virtue. And that’s what’s happened to me […]
