[Writer Blog] Time Management – Friend or Foe
Argh! I had the beginning of a decent blog post going about Time Management that totally fell apart on me. I guess Time Management won that round. Sneaky weasel that it is…Time Management is something I’ve been locked in mortal combat with my entire adult life. But that’s not just me. Lots of people – […]
[Writer Post] Holidays, Technology, Gremlins, and Writing
I’m running late at the end of this year. I totally spaced that today (being my 2nd day at work this week) was actually Wednesday and a post was due. D’OH! I started one in the notebook about a “year in review” type post. Then I was distracted by my (apparently) new tradition of having […]
[Writer Post] A Quick Drive By Post for the Holidays – A Day Late
This is going to be not only a day late – but a quick drive by post with a bit of news. Then I’ll get everyone back to their regularly scheduled holidays. I’m pleased to announce the publication of my first Fanzine piece since my Fan Fiction days. I’m in the newest issues of Steven […]
[From the Archive] Breaking the Rut
Hey, look, I remembered… 😎 — Last week I talked about writer’s block. This week I think I’ll talk about getting back on track. It’s all well and good to mention things that combat writer’s block, but when you’re really good and discombobulated, it’s difficult to pull yourself out of the spiral and get back […]
[Writer Post] Another State of the Writer
It’s the Holiday Season…the state of the author is that this author is in a state, indeed, with trying to get everything done in a timely fashion. Which tends to mean, lack of brilliant insights. So bear with me on a randomish post (yes, again). Everything is coming to a head in the next week […]
[From the Archive] The Aliens Ate My Homework
This was from a while back… Enjoy the distraction. It’s the Holidays after all, and we all need a bit of distraction. You can thank Facebook for this week’s article. My friends there are responsible for this idea – mostly because I had none of my own. It’s been one of those weeks. The Plot […]
[Writer Post] Changes…They Happen
Changes are coming…it’s that time of year – moving into the Holidays and into a new year. So here… have some change. But I also have some questions for ya… 1. To Have a Facebook Fan Page or Not to Have a Facebook Fan Page – that is the pressing question at the moment. Over […]
Changes to the Website…
Because it’s Christmas and I can… 😎 In the next few days (once we figure out shipping and stuff) When the Party’s Over will be available for sale in the print version through the website. There will be an option to add in the note if you want it signed and/or personalized to anyone in […]
[From the Archive] Make ‘Em Laugh
Make ’em… Make ’em laugh Don’t you know everyone wants to laugh These are key words in one of my favorite Singing in the Rain songs done by Donald O’Connor. And it’s true with writing as well. Humor is one of the perennial favorites in literature. It’s also one of the hardest genres to write […]
[Writing Post] Got Ninjas?
Wow. Look at that. December 1st. NaNoMo is officially over. What now? (You know, besides panicking over Thanksgiving not cleaned up and Christmas prep already behind?) Not sure what to do with the NaNoMo project? Most of the editing is daunting, or maybe the project isn’t quite done but not sure where to go? Maybe […]
