[Writer Post] The Play’s The Thing
I’m going to make this week’s writing post a look at this play process I’ve been through. It’s been a highly stressful, highly rewarding experience as a writer and a person. You see, it all started with me shooting off my mouth… which is how most great adventures begin. After our church did basically the […]
[Spotlight Post] Yard Dog Press
Today is Friday. It’s a Spotlight Day. And actually, I’m going to make it a whole Publishing House. There are four days in which to order to have delivery of anything by Christmas. And though this is kinda of last minute — if you’re looking for books for someone who likes science fiction but don’t […]
[Writer Post] Panic and Promotion – 2 Ps for the Holidays
So this is Wednesday, and I’m in intermittent panic mode. Welcome to the holidays. There’s a play I wrote that I’m the technical director for that stages on Sunday morning. We’ve finally had some rehearsals with the full cast…this week. But every time I think this thing is going down in flames, God shows me […]
[Spotlight Post] Larry Launders – Christmas Co-Conspirator
I’m having a “GAH†day, I think. I know I’ve called this the “Tis the Season for Time Managementâ€, but this is getting out of hand. I had a couple of other things crop up into my week this week that weren’t planned and now have thrown off the delicate balance that I had going. […]
[Writer Post] A Deep Breath Week
IT’s Wednesday. That means blog post day It’s also the week before Thanksgiving. I have a lot to be thankful for – one of those being that nothing has blown up in publishing this week. We’re all moving along at a recovery pace. NYC publishers are still recovering from Hurricane Sandy. Many are recovering from […]
[Writer Post] Election Aftermath
It’s Wednesday. That should mean a writer post – and in a way it is. The things that occur in the outside world affect the writing world. My thought s are still with my friends and colleagues on the East Coast who are about to be hit with more weather as they’re still dealing with […]
[Writer Post] Writing is Such a Bipolar Profession
My apologies to those suffering from this disorder, I mean no offense, but the comparison is apt. Writing as a profession and publishing as an industry is incredibly bipolar. You’re either really UP or really DOWN. And the frightening thing is that it can be happening AT THE SAME TIME. I have an independent project […]
[Writer Post] Publishing Sundries
This week is a “sundries” week. I’ve been trying to keep up. Really. The adjustment back to the “responsible adult” world isn’t that bad, but it does take some time. I’m also getting ready for Fan Days in a week and a half — that’s a huge new thing that takes some preparations. But there […]
[Writer Post] The Pre-FenCon Ramble
Oh, yeah, it’s Wednesday. Post day. Fortunately nothing earth-shattering is happening on the publishing front this week. I don’t think I could handle it. I have managed to write SOME fiction this week in the midst of the chaos. This is FenCon week. Therefore, very little happens that’s NOT FenCon. Right now I’m in the […]
