Welcome to Friday, Y’All. It’s finally here. I gotta tell you: I’m pretty sure that this week had the usual number of days in it, but it sure seemed like there were a couple of optional extras installed this week. So here we are: The end of the first full week after moving the writing …
Hi there Everybody! Here is a quick post to let you know about my ConFusion panel schedule. For those of you that don’t know, ConFusion is a Fan-run Science Fiction/Fantasy convention held in Novi, Michigan on the weekend of January 18th through the 21st. This year, the Con will be at the Novi Sheraton. If you’re …
I’m finding it hard to believe that we’re only one week into January. I say that because it’s been a busy week. A big part of that is because reality reasserted itself, and I had to make the switch back to “day-job” mode. That takes up a HUGE amount of time, and it puts a …
Welcome to the very first Friday Fess-Up for 2018! I made it just under the midnight deadline, so it still counts as a Friday post, rather than a Saturday something. There’s been a lot going on this past week. First, it’s been REALLY FREAKING COLD!!! Seriously, the air outside hurts my face. That sparked the …
Welcome to 2018 Everyone, and welcome to the very first blog post of the year. On a Monday, no less. If your various social media feeds are anything like mine, you’re seeing a bunch of posts about goals and resolutions for the new year. I don’t know about resolutions, but I’ve got plenty of goals …
Welcome to the very end of 2017. I slept in this morning. No alarms, nothing to wake me up. It was pretty good. I snuggled with the dog, made an awesome breakfast, and I’m about to get up and grab another cup of coffee – hold on a second… Not a bad way to end …
Welcome to the final Friday Fess-Up of 2017! Damn I did a lot of work this week. Practically none of it was writing. Overall, I’d been doing pretty well, but then it got cold. Really cold. And I spent a few days covering windows, and looking for cold air leaks. I’m fortunate enough to have …
For those of you that don’t know (and that would be most of you), the night before last, the power supply on my desktop PC went “Plooey.” (Kinda like this, but with a lot less fire and smoke and a lot more “Plooey” and that electrical, ozone smell) Yup, one moment, …
Welcome to December 22nd. You’ve made it through the long dark of the year. From this point on, the days will be getting longer. Soon yes, so very soon, the time will be upon us once more: Barbecue Season. I’ve been burning vacation time since the 18th, and I’ve gotta say that I needed the …
This week I want to talk about fight scenes. As always, your mileage may vary. I’ll be talking about how I create fight scenes and this may or may not work for you and that’s fine. It’s what works for me and, if you’ve got something else that works… Bring it. I …
