I’d like to spend a little bit of time talking about getting organized. I know. “Organization” isn’t the sexiest word in the world, but, at least on some level, it’s a necessity. How about if we call it: Doing Battle with the Forces of Chaos!!! …
Impostor: imˈpästər – A person who pretends to be someone else in order to deceive others, especially for fraudulent gain. Tricksy, false… Fake. Sometimes I feel like this.

I’m going to start this post with a digression. I know, right? Anyway. This is not meant to be a “Poor me” kind of post. Part of what I’m doing here is documenting the weird, wild, world that is a writer’s life. End digression. On with the post… Here …

Newsbit #1: I’ve got the flight and hotel booked and Balticon is a “Go”! I don’t have a schedule of what panels I’m going to be on yet, but I’ll post them when I find out. If you’re going to be there, please stop by. I’d love to see you. One place that I’m definitely …
I wanted to get to this sooner, but I didn’t want it to get buried under the mass of New Year’s Resolution, Anti-New Year’s Resolution, “Boy I am *Never* going to do that again” posts. I figured, “Well, maybe wait a week…” One week became two and I, somehow, managed to forget that there are …
