This will be a short one. Just letting you know in advance. We had a slight COVID scare at work today. Some one associated with my workplace is a close contact if of someone who tested positive. I was lucky enough to be in close contact with that person. To be safe, the few of … More Covid Scare
How do you manage working full time while also keeping the dream alive of writing?
#indieauthor #WritingCommunity … More Work Starts Soon
Once a month I allow myself a blog post where I not-so-subtly try and convince any readers to give my money through Patreon. Generally speaking I try and keep these posts to the 21st of the month in the dim hopes that next month when it is my birthday a few more readers will go … More May’s Patreon Plug
If you go with the idea that once you get paid for something you can call yourself a professional, if tomorrow goes well, I’ll be able to call myself a professional DM. That’ll be neat. Right now I am just trying to fight off all that crippling self doubt. I’ve prepped, I have numbers ready, … More Tomorrow is the Game and My Mind Wanders
A little bit of a self-indulgent post today. It is 10:40 at night and other than the twin 20 minute comments to and from work, this is the closest I have come to time to relax since getting out of bed this morning.

My faith in their good intentions was never in doubt, but my faith … More (Re)Appointment
This is going to be a rather hard post to right because there is only so much I can say on this subject. I’m not strictly bound by confidentiality or anything like that, but talking too much might not be the smart thing to do. Not that I’ve ever let myself talk the the point … More Disappointment
Waiting at the train station. My bags are heavy. My body, tired. More stares this morning but I’m the same me. A passing train brings a cool breeze that momentarily chills the sweat on my brow. Another train comes, closer this time, and blocks the breeze. The movement of people adds to the heat. Yesterday … More Commute: An Hour Earlier
