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 …
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, …
I’ve said before on the blog that I tend to not plan out these weekly posts. Some days, it would be easier if I did plan them out, but there’s something about sitting down and riffing on a topic. Until no topic presents itself. Normally, earlier on in the week, I’ll have some sort of …
Yes, I realize that this post should have happened earlier, but this is my blog and I can schedule stuff when I want. Besides, this weekend was pretty dark out there in the ‘verse and, it might be a good time to focus on the good stuff for a spell. So, in no particular order, …

So I learned something about myself this November. I am not much of a sprint writer. For those of you that don’t know, writing sprints are – well – probably exactly what you think they might be. Writers will sit down, either singularly or in groups, set a time limit, and, for that time, write …
This is going to be a quick update, because I just got back from a weekend in Kentucky ending with a really long car ride. So let me say a few things before I get to decompressing: First: Kentucky – I had a great time. It was kind of a Micro-writing retreat, because Saturday was …
The original title of this post was going to be “The World Wants Your Head.” I read that in an article and it stuck with me. If I can find the article, I’ll put a link to it at the bottom of the post*. The article talked about how the world constantly demands your attention. …
On a rare Saturday* (which will become less rare**, most likely – more on that Sunday) last week, I got some writing done. I got some other stuff done as well, but the writing was up there on the cool list. That was the only day during the weekend that I wrote. Monday, I got …
