[Writer Post] Challenges
Last blog post of 2016 and it’s punctuated with loss and some frustration – which I guess sums up 2016 in a nutshell. Loss and frustration. Good things happened, but it’s been a pretty dark year over all. I’m looking forward to 2017. I have PLANS, man. Lots of PLANS. Going to try to shake […]
[Writer Post] Moving Forward
I’ve tried to write this blog a couple of different times today. Neither one worked. I could write about the elections, but I won’t. I could write about the vitriol, the fear, and the anguish on my social media feeds, but I won’t. That would just be adding to the noise. Instead… lets talk about […]
[Writer Post] Chaos, Disruption, and Spreadsheets OH MY!
It’s been a long week – and it’s only Wednesday. Not that it’s been BAD because it hasn’t. It’s just been very … weird. And long. And disruptive. The annual review went well – just a day later than I had scheduled so the head of self-esteem I had going had to be maintained and […]
[Writer Post] Wednesday a Day for Rambling
It’s Wednesday. Yay. This month is astonishingly busy. It’s a really big month at the Day Job with National Preparedness Month. It’s FenCon month. LISTS! To Dos! Errands! Allons-y! The preliminary schedule for FenCon has gone out – but not the final one. I’ll post the link when it’s available. There’s a very big chunk […]
[Writer Post] The Reset
The last little while my Day Job has eaten my life. My niece got married. Went to TWO different memorial services. And I swear doctors get paid by the “you really should do something about your weight” lectures. But I made a promise to myself about this time last week that on Monday, July 18th, […]
[Writer Post] AFK
The last week has been rough. I’ve been away from the keyboard as much as possible. Some of it has been okay – Jimmy’s best friend was in town from Colorado. Then my Day Job came crashing down around our heads. As all of you know from either my social media or, say, the national/international […]
[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] When I Grow Up
There’s an age-old question people ask and get asked AT ALL AGES: What do you want to be when you grow up? As if there’s a right answer to that. PISH. Please. Let’s just address the big element in that – who actually wants to grow up? Being a Grown Up is totally overrated, or […]
[Writer Blog] One Foot in Front of the Other
It’s already Wednesday. Wow. The last few days have been both the longest and the biggest blurs. Most of you already know why. I just started a short story at the request of my friend, Robyn. We’ll see how it goes. I’ve just begun so it’s not gone difficult…yet. Hopefully I can make it what […]
