[Writer Post] The Good and Bad of Dallas Comic Con 2014
I’ve been really thinking about what I want to say about Dallas Comic Con this week – because it has bearing on writing – a lot of bearing. And not all of it’s going to be sunshine and roses. I started doing comic book events a couple of years ago to meet new people. I […]
[Writer Post] Welcome to Wednesday
Welcome to Wednesday. I’m going to try to keep this positive, even though I’m having a Crabby Day Job Day. Today is one of those days where I need to thwack myself in the head with my “Not My Circus, Not My Monkeys” challenge coin and enjoy the fact that I’ve started my Redheads story […]
[Writer Post] Even Pros Make Mistakes
Have I mentioned lately that even experienced and seasoned writers can make boneheaded mistakes? And that recently I was one of those writers making one of those mistakes? Yes? No? Maybe so? (Ah, wow, Algebra 2 and Trig flashback to Mrs. Weber at Homewood High… but I digress.) Anyway, there are times when even the […]
[Writer Post] The Next Things
Hello, Wednesday… Good to see you. Time for a blog post. It’s a “SQUIRREL!” day at work – lots of little, random things to do at work…that’s reflected here… My calendar has opened up a little. We’re done with working Scarborough Renaissance Festival, but we might go out and play some. The next thing is […]
[Writer Post] Coming up with the Next Thing and T.A.B.L.E.
It’s blog post day, and it’s one of “those” weeks. It’s April in Texas – which means wildly unstable weather… so that means sinus issues that make thinking…interesting. There’s been a loss in the family which has thrown some planning out of whack. And our truncated run at Scarborough starts on Saturday. Add to that […]
[Writer Post]Spring… Time for Blooming Insecurities
It’s Wednesday blog post day, and I almost forgot. Last week was stunningly productive – but then brain crashed for a couple of days. Now I’m getting it back in gear, and – of course – second-guessing everything I did in the last month. Yes, I’m not talking about “budding” insecurities in this first flush […]
[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] Multi-Tasking…It’s What’s For Dinner
Wow. Okay, hi. It’s Wednesday. I’m deep into Time Management and Multi-Tasking Land. Why? Because I wrote a blog post about wanting/needing deadlines. I guess it’s kinda like praying for patience – you pray to be more patient, you get put into situations that require it. I committed to finishing a novel and sending it […]
[Writer Post] ConDFW and What’s Ahead
Okay, so this week is moving right along, and look, here it is, Wednesday. And since last weekend was ConDFW, it’s pretty much a given that I’m going to talk about that. ConDFW is one of my home conventions. It’s the one that gave me my start in conventions as a writer. I’ve gone through […]
