There are a lot of Mes running around - the Writer Me, the Running Me, the Knitting Me, the Home Me. They don’t co-exist very well, and they all want attention. There is no lone bully, so they tag team, and I am only good at doing two of them very well at a time.

It’s a thing. I’m working on it.

The last few months been the sole province of ( Read more... )

“We call him the Chicken Man and we can’t catch him.”

This is how Urban Legends that end with campers getting murdered start.  Except this is a grocery store and we don’t get a lot of murders in either Madison Heights or Royal Oak.

I do my shopping at my local grocers and I prefer the little local chain to the big national chain, because Doug can ( Read more... )

Once, I read a book called “House Of Leaves” and it was eas­ily one of the scari­est things I’d ever read.

I’m cur­rently work­ing through The Dion­aea House, and it’s the kind of weird house story I absolutely love. It has active links and uses ideas peo­ple have tried many, many times to repli­cate only to come off obvi­ous. A story - a mythol­ ( Read more... )

If there’s one thing I’m a sucker for, it’s A SYSTEM.

A SYSTEM orga­nizes your writ­ing so you don’t have look in six dif­fer­ent places, both on paper and online, for that one snip­pet of idea you thought was brilliant.

A SYSTEM makes you feel IMPORTANT when you fire it up, sort of like a JARVIS with­out the clever come­backs when I used to think ( Read more... )

I spent my work­out day rest­ing, and focused instead on some stretch­ing. No one wants to hear about that so let’s just get to the metrics.

Day 46/Day 2 PBJ - It’s not really a ghost. We have another chicken salad-wrapped cres­cent roll, sauteed aspara­gus and a Roma tomato with goat cheese and a roasted sea­weed face. Some folks mis­took the ( Read more... )

I’ve spent the last sev­eral months mop­ing about what could have been and con­se­quently have taken my eyes off  the essence of what is me - the writing.

I’m absolutely sick about that.

Last week­end when I stared down the black hole that was my writ­ing career when my lap­top decided to take a dirt nap, tak­ing essen­tially 15 years of words and ( Read more... )

I took a break from sub­mit­ting over the past year to dive into the movie and work on other cre­ative endeav­ors.  While I dive back into heavy writ­ing, I’ve been sub­mit­ting pre­vi­ous pub­lished sto­ries to var­i­ous places and came up with a hit early on. I’m not one to sub­mit to ezines, in fact this is my first, but you know the right fit ( Read more... )

So there’s this amazing little meme called the Next Big Thing Blog Hop, and I was tagged by Dana M. Baird, she of the Spell Keeper Legends and this is her entry. This is simplicity itself: each tagged author blogs answers to the same set of questions about their current work in progress and then passes the torch to some other great authors who will ( Read more... )
