I’m sure that all writers work slightly differently. Or maybe very differently. Do we write on keyboards, longhand, on phones? Do we meticulously plot out our works or do we get a germ of an idea and just run with it. Regardless of what some might argue, there really is no one right way to … More First Edits
Yesterday I shared some of my thoughts concerning the upcoming birth of my daughter. Just even tho king that gives me a little rush. I have a feeling that this next month is going to both fly and drag at the same time. But at least I have a project to help me fill that … More Also Expecting… A Book
I know this has already made its way through the inter-webs, but I am nothing if not topical. Plus, I recently watched the episode of Real Time with Bill Maher where he re-stated his objections. So, it’s on my mind and I wanted to get it out. Let’s go. For anyone still reading but confused … More Bill Maher and Comics
Do you every feel it? You’re working hard, doing your best, trying everything you can to make your mark and get noticed. You start to feel that purchase of a little bit of traction. You feel you are making progress. And then you look over. You see someone else. The seem to be fresh out … More Ugly Jealousy

As an indie-author it is nice to have a few places where I can ask question, maybe get some feedback and also occasionally vent about things that my non-writing friends aren’t quite so interested in. One of these groups offers up … More “Who’s Your Audience?”
Family effects every moment of our lives. This is true whether we like it or not. I am certainly who I am today because of family and how I was raised. And there is no reason to make this a past tense discussion. As I go along the day I am thinking of my family, … More With a Little Help from Mom
I like posting screenshots, and sometimes actual photos, of daily word counts. It keeps me motivated and also scratches that itch of yelling out into the world “I wrote something today!” Of course, I hardly expect the world to yell back, but it seems that almost every other time I do post such a picture, one … More What App is That?
I had a little bit of time today to sit in front of my keyboard and get some work done. Which turned out to be a great thing, because I managed to finish the first draft of my current WiP. My goal for this draft was 60,000 words. Of course, that is a rough 60k, … More Finishing the Draft
Today was a holiday. While that doesn’t mean as much as it used to, having a three year old who needs entertainment during holidays, it doesn’t mean that I was able to spend a good chunk of the morning writing. Now, I’ve been posting on this site everyday since 2019 started, but with camp and … More Almost at the Beginning
People don’t really ask me that question, but it is one I often ask myself. Of course I don’t mean it in a literal way. I am together enough to know if I am taking part in the actual act. Like right now: I am. When you are reading this: maybe. But the question stands … More Are You Writing?
