Self-doubt is a thing. It’ll creep up on you from any number of dark paths and try and convince you that the thing that you’re working on will never work. That it won’t ever sell. That you’re not qualified to write it, or – even better – that you are unjustifiably arrogant in thinking that …
Happy Friday Y’All! Welcome to the first Friday Fess-Up for March. This had been a better week than the last patch of weeks I’ve been through. I’ve been making progress, though I do confess to not getting up every day to write. I’m learning that I need a solid 7 hours of sleep at night. …
I’m going to subtitle this: “The Head Wants, what the Head Wants.” I have always listened to music while I’m writing. The kind of music varies (or at least it used to), but it was always there. It’s there right now, in fact, as I’m typing this. I use music for a number of different …
Welcome to the Final Friday Fess-Up for February. I am *so* going to miss the alliteration. Anyway. Here’s what’s sure to be an unpopular opinion: My Fandomness Quotient* for the 4-day work week is on the wane. Even as little as 5 years ago, I’d be all over a 4-day work week, but now I …
One of the unexpected benefits to keeping a – more or less – weekly blog is that, if you go looking, you can spot trends and patterns in life, the universe, and everything.

Happy Friday Folks! Short post today because I’m about spent, mentally. I’m sure I’ll get into more detail on Sunday. Time for some self-care this weekend. And sleep. Definitely sleep. If you’re reading this, Congratulations: You made it through too! Be sure to check back Sunday. Be Safe, Y’all
This is what it looks like from my desk this morning. What you can’t see is the layer of ice coating the top of all that white-stuff. What you can see is the top of, what seems now, like a foolishly long driveway that I am going to have to force …
I’m getting this down early, because I’m not sure what the internet status is going to be like in the next couple of days. I’m looking at a pretty decent snow storm today and over the course of the weekend. Total of 9 inches when it’s all said and done. So here’s what I’m Fessing …
I like to think I’m a patient person. I mean sure, that’s a sliding scale for all of us to some extent, and there have been days when I’ve been as steady as a brick wall and other days…well…maybe not so much. But on the whole, the mental picture I have of myself in this …
Welcome to the first, February, Friday- Fess-up Post This week, it would be more like a Frazzled Friday than anything else. As I type this, I’m sitting in the office with the door closed, the heater going and all the dogs in here with me trying to keep warm. I’m closing in on 24 hours …
