[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 […]
[Writer Post] A Quick Drive By Post for the Holidays – A Day Late
This is going to be not only a day late – but a quick drive by post with a bit of news. Then I’ll get everyone back to their regularly scheduled holidays. I’m pleased to announce the publication of my first Fanzine piece since my Fan Fiction days. I’m in the newest issues of Steven […]
FenCon Loometh Nigh
What does “FenCon Loometh Nigh” mean for me as a writer? With the convention starting in less than 48 hours, it means my writing time is greatly diminished. In fact, I wrote out parts of this article while waiting for my car to go through the car wash, and I’m typing it as I’m “holding […]

FenCon and Joe Lansdale
I’ll be posting my FenCon schedule soon. There are a couple of clarifications I need made… BUT…Here’s the fun thing… I’m interviewing Joe Lansdale at 3 p.m. on Saturday!!! Now, Joe’s a good guy, and I could just talk with him for hours — but that’s not what the panel is. This is what YOU […]
Writer Blog – Let the Randomness Continue – Conventions Redux
I don’t know where this week has gone. I’ve been messing up the days in my head all week. Yesterday, I would’ve sworn today was Thursday – which meant I should’ve panicked over this YESTERDAY (but yesterday was Tuesday all day). Somehow my brain is just not comprehending Wednesday this week. Go figure. Prepping for […]
From the Archive – FenCon V
See I told you this went back a couple of years… I debated about adding this one, but an archive is all of them, and it fits with talking about Soonercon earlier this week. Enjoy… FenCon V is rapidly approaching. FenCon V runs October 3-5, 2008 in Dallas, TX. It is the largest fan-run, literary […]
