So I’m almost two months into my new job and it’s time for some reflection. This job is important in that it’s really the first time I’ve challenged myself with a job, nay a career, instead of settling for another admin job I’m overqualified for from day one. The only other time I really challenged myself was […]
Like all of the important people in my life, I met Frank Wheeler through the internet. I was looking for a roommate for Bouchercon and his agent set us up. It didn’t take long for me to realize Frank and I were going to have more in common than just writing and crime fiction. We […]
The reaction to yesterdays post about the current and future possibilities of this new writing climate got me thinking a lot about my current mood these days. I’ve always been a very optimistic and fun loving person, but over the last few years I’ve noticed a melancholy style creeping up and some downright pessimism taking root. […]
Is it just me or did July stick around way past it’s welcome? With a busy job and little kids I’ve grown used to time running away from me faster than I can keep up so to have a month like this last one that seemed endless, mostly due to the incessant heat, was odd. […]
Alright, let’s talk about Google Docs. Until recently I’ve been a gung-ho MS Wordy and never considered any other option. Since 2001 when I bought my first laptop that came with a free copy of Word 2000, it’s all I’ve ever written in. Short stories, novels, plays, screenplays, and a healthy dollop of graphic design […]
I was going to do this post with a Google Docs coda as well, but I’ve found my really long posts don’t go over very well if I have too many of them so I’ll break it off into it’s own post. For now let’s talk about what I’ve been writing and what I plan […]
I wonder if WordPress offers a Post A Week badge for those of us who have seriously neglected our Post A Day responsibilities? There may be more writing and photography here in the near future though because I’m starting to remember that the main reason I came back here was to avoid Facebook. When I […]
As an apology to the regular readers here I treated so poorly in my last manifesto, I have a treat. One of my favorite things to read for musicians and writers alike is gear lists. I love to know what kinds of guitars or amps or mics a musician is using and for writers I […]
I mentioned in my last post that the major flaw in my secret project was that it’s style and substance were not at all interesting to me and I was writing it for some very stupid reasons. Reading through the table of contents for my short story collection BREAKFAST ANYTIME smacked that point even further […]
I’m working from home today which of course means I’m actually working from McDonalds so I can get some stuff done and not have to worry about the kids destroying the house. I pushed my brain to the limit the last week or so to finish the secret project and it wasn’t much in the […]
