I finished a story last week. Like proper finished a story, and turned it in. And then I moved onto the next project with nary a word. Primarily, this was because I had not one, but two other projects that I’d placed on hold to get this story done (Deadline shuffling). Secondarily, it was a …
Welcome to the first, real weekend of 2023! I hope you’ve been enjoying it. Ok, it’s the tail-end of the weekend, but there’s still time for relaxing, and refilling the well, and I’ll take every second I can get. Last Week, I talked about how I was going to dedicate 2023 to getting as much …
Welcome to the first post of 2023. It’s a divergence from my usual Sunday posts – Not the least of which being that this is going live on Monday. I’ve had some time off the day-job to think about the past year, and the coming year, and what I’d like to see in 2023. I’ve …
As happens every now and again, the subject of drafting and editing came up in my channels. The discussion is always a mixed bag of “Eh, it’s ok” and “I don’t mind it” and “Ah, I want to poke my eyes out” Someone even compared it to practicing the scales (they were a musician) and …
I confess to feeling a little bit burned out lately and when this reminder came out of the blue, it really struck home, so I decided to share it here. Each day is an empty page. Just for you. How does that with burnout, you might ask? The realization that you don’t have to keep …

There are two primary times of the year where I turn an introspective eye on my life. I acknowledge that I should probably do this more often than twice a year, but those two times are the turn of …
Happy Sunday (Or whenever you happen to be reading this) Readers. I’d like to start off today’s post with a Quote: You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take.” It was Wayne Gretzky who said that. Now it may be that you’ve heard this before. It’s certainly not the first time I’ve heard it. …
Happy Sunday (Or whichever day it is that you happen to be reading this) Everyone! Here we are, at the penultimate day of January, 2022. How are you doing? Are you crushing those goals you set for 2022 yet? Been absolutely flawless in all those sweeping changes you declared you’d make, (way) back on the …
I woke up on Friday morning to the news that Marvin Lee Aday had passed away. If you don’t recognize the name – and I confess that I didn’t know the man’s name at the time – then you might recognize his stage name: Meat Loaf. There was a time, waaaay back when, this guy …
Happy Sunday (Or whichever day you happen to be reading this) everyone. Here we are kicking off the second week of 2022. I fully confess that it’s been a slow start. Maybe it’s been that way for you as well. Maybe you haven’t gotten right on those projects that you said you’d get to at …
