The Elephant In The Room
Summer’s here. Again. We haven’t been hit with the break-out-the-stillsuits heat (yet) but it will come. It always does. At least, this year, it looks like we might be able to breathe recycled air someplace other than our own homes. What the world will look like for “summer vacation” and beyond is still anybody’s guess… … Continue reading "The Elephant In The Room"

Shakin Off The Rust
Actively writing. Actively editing. Actively formatting. It’s almost like I might be getting my groove back. Again. 😕 I’m trying to push out the irritating voice saying we’ll see how long it lasts, this time and just be content with the fact that it actually is happening. For as long as it lasts. 2021 is … Continue reading "Shakin Off The Rust"

Summer Kick-Off
I spent last summer stuck in my house: between breaking an ankle in late May and the ever-changing status of the COVID-induced stay-at-home orders, there really wasn’t much else to do. You’d think I’d have had a lot of time to write… or do anything, really… but it didn’t work out that way. It probably … Continue reading "Summer Kick-Off"

Well, that was pleasant…
2020 is thankfully well in the rearview. While there are always some bright spots in horrific disasters (in 2020’s case, it was officially gaining a second son), it’s hard to argue that the year – in general – was one huge glitch in everyone’s life. I didn’t forget about you, though, and I didn’t sit … Continue reading "Well, that was pleasant…"

We provide the structure, community, and encouragement to help people find their voices, achieve creative goals, and build new worlds—on and off the page. nanowrimo.org Mission Statement As NaNoWriMo enters its 20th year (and I prepare for my 12th year of participation), it seemed … Continue reading "Brace Yourselves: November is Coming"

Hmmm…
I promised a writing update, didn’t I? In the midst of all the other craziness life has in store, I am pretty much always writing something. My muse, in case you were unaware, is a tad bit mercurial. She feeds on coffee, chocolate, and booze (and chili-cheese Fritos for fight scenes) and sometimes goes silent … Continue reading "Hmmm…"

Changing Seasons
Summer’s coming and the winds of change are actually pretty damned unpleasant this year. The school year is ending for Youngest Spawn: she is preparing to venture forth on her first ever Music Tour. For those unfamiliar with the practice, it is (for our school) a 5-day “family road trip” filled with musical performances, team … Continue reading "Changing Seasons"

She’s ba-aa-aa-ack…
Unfortunately, my prediction from late February was accurate. I had NO time for anything between my last post here and the wedding celebration. But… We pulled it all off and it was pretty damned amazing… if I do say so myself. Now, after a couple weeks of down-time (or what passes for down-time in my … Continue reading "She’s ba-aa-aa-ack…"
