[From the Archive] Conventions
Seems appropriate after ConJour, to have this come up in rotation… — It’s Convention Season – at least for me. Or what I consider Convention around this part of the US. The “season” will always depend on the writer/artist and their location. For me, it’s June – October – with at least one “pre-season” convention. […]
[Writer Post] ConJouring up the Time
It’s been a catch up, push forward, and hit the ground running couple of weeks – and depending on the outcome of a call later today to my husband, perhaps this is just the beginning. It’s both a long and short week for us – long because ConJOUR is this weekend, short in a four […]
[Writer Post] ConDFW, Writing Excuses, Etc.
I know. I know. I missed my Wednesday post. My husband actually asked me if I posted on Wednesday. I had to admit, alas, I’m running late this week. I have excuses. Which is ironic, since that was one of the panels I sat on at ConDFW – Writing Excuses: Timing is Everything. The panel […]
[Writer Post] Cha…Cha…Changes
Yeah, the only thing more inevitable than Death and Taxes is Change. I am, apparently, living in interesting times. My metric ton of change can start being more encouraging and less “We’re having ice cream, darn it!”, and it can spread out some more. I am, however, still in contact with Silver Lining Girl, so […]
[Writer Blog] Same Song Second Verse
What? Take Your Dog to Work Day isn’t UNTIL JUNE??? What? I thought it was today… oh, wait, that’s me working at home today… It’s another icy, snowy, cold day in Texas. It’s been a crazy week for us here in Texas. We’ve had more “snow days” in the last 10 days than in the […]
[From the Archive] Challenges
Okay, it’s Wednesday. It’s column day. This week, I’m sharing my challenge. This has nothing to do with Life. Every writer has Life. Or scheduling. Now that I’m busy all the time, I’m actually starting to accomplish more. Deadlines do that. The challenge lies with a freelance project I’m working on. I’m still deep in […]
[Writing Post] Snow Days, The Splendor Falls, and Random Productivity
It’s SuperBowl® Week here in North Texas. In fact, we live about 2 miles from the Stadium. We planned to hibernate this week anyway to keep out of the crazy traffic and events. Then the weather hit. My Day Job Company has actually shut down for two days. My husband is “Essential Personnel” for his […]
[Writer Post] Be Careful What You Wish For
You know the phrase, “Be careful what you wish for. You just might get it?” Yeah, well, that’s what happens when you start talking about the need to implement all your Time Management skills. It’s like praying for patience. You end up in situations where you NEED that virtue. And that’s what’s happened to me […]
