[Writer Post] Okay Then…Let’s Do It
I will get a blog post in before it’s not Wednesday anymore. I will get the article that I should have written MONTHS and MONTHS ago written, becuase I shouldn’t have had someone ask me for it (FINALLY). So that’s happening this week. Darn it. Still waiting for anthology submissions – might have to extend […]
[Writer Post] Cancer Can Suck It
I just found out an author near and dear to me is going into hospice because of cancer after losing his lovely wife to a different varietal of this stupid disease. So this post is about the anthology project I’m editing. I have three stories so far for the anthology – one is a very […]
[Writer Blog] Taking On a New Project for Charity
It’s Wednesday. It’s blog day. My head is in NO kind of game today. There are a variety of reasons, none of them are important. Houseguests are in flux. House is ready (again) for the holidays for the most part. Personal appearances are over for the year. Stuff needs to get done – and yet, […]
[Writer Post] Waxacon, Power Rangers, and Plot Bunnies
This past weekend was Waxacon – a first year comic con in Waxahachie. Waxahachie is a commuter community just south of Dallas that also is the home of Scarborough Renaissance Festival and Screams. I found out about this show at Marvelous Nerd Year’s Eve and was an early adopter. This was my last show of […]
[Writing Post] In Search of Whelmed
It’s Wednesday and suddenly I thought, “Holy Cow! Blog day! EEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKK!†Because not I have to be pithy, well, maybe not pithy. Coherent maybe. Coherent is a good goal. Today I want to talk about “whelmednessâ€. That’s currently my goal. I’m trying to reach a point of “whelmâ€. I’ve been UNDERwhelmed by amount of output […]
[Writer Post] Convention Round Up
I’ve never gotten around to writing up the FenCon report and now World Fantasy is in the rear view. I have one final comic con the week before Thanksgiving in Waxahachie. Then there’s a well-deserved break until ConDFW in February when it starts all over again. But for now… There’s probably a whole lot I […]
[Writer Post][Conventions] World Fantasy 2017
Happy still setting up day for World Fantasy 2017. We are here and already stayed up way too late. Did my part yesterday by hefting and carrying HALF the supply of giveaway books from storage to hotel — plus art. Stayed up way too late moderately helping (mostly watching) Jimmy and Scott – with Randy […]
[Writing Post] Late Evening Ramblings
Since I’ve been kicking deadline behinds but not taking names, I’m going to get a blog post in today – before Wednesday is completely over. I finished an essay due on Halloween and got it turned in. Don’t know if it’ll suit, but it’s done 0 to 1600 words start to finish. That’s something right […]
[Writing Post] Getting Back in Rhythm
After a brief “vacation” – as in four days of recharging by unplugging – I’m getting my rhythm back. It’s still a little syncopated, but it’s getting there. Which is good because I have a deadline rapidly approaching. I’ve been working on it, but it needs to be finished and submitted. We’ll see how things […]
[Writing Post] Taking Needed Time Off
Oh, hey, look. It’s Wednesday. I’m taking some time off this weekend to unplug and recharge (long overdue). Actual time off not just go from one high energy event to another – again LONG overdue. I was one of those people who thought “self-care” was one of those “selfish” new agey concepts that wasn’t a […]
