For the first few days, I was a bit sad at how the cats seemed to be hiding all day and only coming out very late at night to play with Becky. But after a few days, they started coming out earlier in the evening and even visiting me once in a while. They regard […]
So, uh, we may have added someone to the family. I know it seems soon, and it seemed soon to us as well, but Becky and I both were having a harder time than we thought we would with Ruby’s death. He was a giant pain in the ass while he was alive, but after […]
Becky got Ruby shortly before we met. When she got him from the Humane Society, they estimated his age at 2 years old and said he was a girl. So she named the cat Ruby and bought a sparkly red collar and started calling the cat Ruby the Girl Pimp Kitty. When it came time […]
I see a lot of people crapping all over the new novel from Bill Clinton and James Patterson. In general, I find it pretty awful when anyone looks down on what anyone else reads, but the good these two men in particular have done for our field can’t be overstated (and that doesn’t even take […]
I’ve written a bit about my mom but I don’t think I’ve written anything about both my mom and my mother-in-law. While both are great in their own special ways, my mom and I have been bound by fate, luck, curse, whatever larger force you want to believe in and it hasn’t always been smooth […]
I must be doing something right with this new book because I want to write anything but this book right now. I’m usually prone to distraction (creative distraction at least – regular distraction is a lifelong struggle) early on by new and shiny ideas, but that’s always gone away after I settle in to a […]
Just cleared 10k on the new book. This is the first time I’ve edited as I go instead of just flying along without looking at what I’m doing. So even though I’m not making the kind of progress I anticipated, the words I have done are third or fourth draft words and that’s pretty cool. […]
I didn’t publish a novel this year, but that doesn’t mean the world was bereft of fiction from me. I published my first two short stories in almost a decade and I’m very proud of both of them and would love for you to put them on any award ballots for which they may qualify. […]
There is no more relaxing feeling these days than sitting at my computer and turning on Freedom. Clicking that little butterfly shuts down the anxiety, the panic, the depression, and the general displeasure the web brings me when trying to work. After last year when I was so freaked out every time I turned on […]
I don’t normally have trouble starting books, but this one is important to me, and it’s a big one, so I was freaking my self out about it. Even though I have a plan, and have worked out almost the entire story in my head, I needed to get my butt in the chair and […]
