[Writer Post] More-er and Better-er
Oh, wow, hello Wednesday. I’m glad to see you. Now to come up with something to write about. It’s been an interesting week – with the potential to swing to really good or really bad. I’m in a waiting pattern. The outcome depends on other people and their schedules, so nothing I can do but […]
[Writer Post] Back on the Horse
It’s Wednesday. That means blog day. I’m trying to get my rhythm back. But we’ve had an eventful couple of weeks, and recovery from FenCon always takes a wee bit longer than other conventions. But I have work to do, darn it. And Day Job has gone through some upheaval – which means more scurrying […]
[Writer Post] Wednesday Ramble
It’s Wednesday, and my family has had a series of body blows already this week, but looking forward to an awesome weekend at Sci Fi Expo. My emergency order of books came in early, so I’m well stocked and ready to meet new people – I also have a new piece of promotional gear that […]
[Writer Post] In Which I Wax Philosophical
Hello, Wednesday. How are you today? Me, I’m a bit cross-eyed from counting itty-bitty teeny tiny diamonds at my Day Job. I’ve been contemplating today’s topic. Waiting for that lightning bolt of inspiration to strike… and here we are. Nothing has happened today to equal “earth-shattering kaboom†– not that there should be earth shattering […]
[Writer Post] Amber Benson and Editing
Today is Wednesday, which means writer post. And while I’m writing this at lunch, I’m listening (on headphones) to an interview Amber Benson did with The Nerdist. And the headphones better not come out – because it’s totally not safe for work…but it’s fascinating. That’s just an aside…and man, there are no censor issues with […]
[Writing Post] Writing, Revision, and SF Signal’s MindMeld
So it’s Wednesday blog time. Whee. While tons of people I know are hie-ing off Chicago for WorldCon or Atlanta for Dragon*Con, I’m prepping for the East Texas Book Fest on the 8th and keeping my head above water for FenCon towards the end of the month. Fortunately I seem to be time managing fairly […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Editing Pen Side-by-Side Comparison
What’s new for the 2012 pen review blog? Well, I’m going to try to put a more objective grading system in place so maybe a more consistent way of awarding the Bronze Pencils evolves. That way there can actually be some kind of plan to this blog. Not sure how that’s all going to work […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The Uni-ball Signo Bit 0.18mm – The Last Red Holiday Editing Pen
The last red editing pen…for the holidays… The UNI-BALL Signo bit 0.18 mm. This is the smallest point I’ve ever written with. Granted, I just got it this weekend for Christmas and haven’t had a whole lot of time with it. This is will be mainly major impressions. Purchased from JetPens.com. Next week or so, […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Another Editing Pen for the Holidays – the Pentel Slicci 0.25mm in Red
I told you there would be a slight Christmas theme this month – the color red. Normally, I’m a green person (color not eco-nazi – though I do like to recycle and take care of the planet), but this year… Christmas 2011 is the Year O’ Red. Don’t know why. So today I give you…The […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Smaller is Better – For Editing – the Pilot Hi-Tec-C 0.25mm
This is the last one of the “Smallest Pen” mini-series. Though not small in length, it is the finest point I’ve knowingly used. Today’s pen is the Pilot Hi-Tec-C 0.25mm in brown ink. With the onrush of Steampunk in literature, I’ve had “brown” days…and I don’t have TONS of brown ink pens. At first I […]
