[Writer Post] Second Guessing and The Eternal Debates
So I just found out about a major reprint anthology looking for submissions. The theme is Women Writing SF. It doesn’t even have to be a “pro” sale publication. I think “Hey, I’m a woman. I write SF. I shall submit something…” No brainer, right? Wrong. Because then I hit the conundrum of “What in […]
[Writer Post] Getting Back in the Game
So I had a draft of a blog post ready for today, and now I get to change at least part of it. FenCon did what I wanted it to do recharged me. I hung out with brilliant and talented folks who helped rekindle my creative flow. It’s awesome! Oh, and if you have a […]
[Writer Post] Inspired but Exhausted
So, FenCon happened. Blog done. Move along now… Oh, wait, you wanted more? Oh, okay. I guess a blog post should be more than a sentence or a line. FenCon was actually fantastic. There were a few bumps in the beginning, but there always are (and some flight glitches – but that happens as well). […]
[Writer Post] Head in the Game with FenCon Brain
So , today kicks off FenCon Setup – which starts the marathon days for me until Monday afternoon. I deal with the Day Job until 5 pm then meet Jimmy to head over to the hotel to start load in at 6 pm. FenCon has been eating my brain for the last month – that […]
[Writer Post] FenCon X Preliminary Schedule
It’s a Wednesday Writer Blog Day… and basically all I’ve got the brain power for today is posting my preliminary FenCon Schedule. It doesn’t look like a lot, but it is for me because I’m on staff and am running around like a headless chicken during this thing – which is why if you say […]
[Writer Post] Staying Afloat
So, this is Wednesday. That means blog post day – and I’m having trouble stringing coherent words together. Because not only is it Chaos Season (yes, there is one), Ragweed decided to throw a week-long party and invited all its little allergen friends. And along with some unexpected changes and expenses since I last wrote […]
[Writer Post] I Want A Do Over
The last week has been one of loss, frustration, and ice cream in all realms of my life. My Day Job has changed some because my manager went on to a new opportunity. We’ve lost two people who were major presences in the Texas region of fandom. It’s the “crunch†time for both conventions I’m […]
[Writer Post] Defining”Pro”, Wheaton’s Law, and Lisa Morton
So there wasn’t much response to the Writer 101 series – so that’s something I’ll hold off on. But as I seem to get responses from some of my recent rants – here we go. It helps that it is related to writing – and it’s a point in favor “Wheaton’s Law”. On Monday I […]
[Writer Post] Writing, Promoting, & Reality – A Rant
So, I had this big plan for today’s blog to outline some things I’m thinking about doing with it – which I still plan to do – but then read a conversation on Facebook yesterday that was both good and head ‘splody. There are many things – especially in the initial premise and in the […]
[Writer Post] Wednesday’s are for Nattering
It’s a Writer Wednesday, and so many people I know are heading off to San Diego Comic Con. I hope everyone has a fun and safe time. If you’re a fan, please spend your time and money with the authors and artists out there. I know the collectibles are awesome and having the chance to […]
