A day to wait for

Chugging along. Worked on full cover layouts today for my gothic story. It will be coming out in paperback. I was tempted to do a hard cover. I just don’t know if a 60 page hardcover would be very popular for a choice. Maybe later if readers love the story as much as I do. … Continue reading A day to wait for

Drive with care

I was wake this morning at 5:52 a.m. when the car accident happened. I thought a car had hit a tree. I knew the car couldn’t have been going very fast because I hadn’t heard the engine. I hadn’t even been aware of traffic until I heard the squeal of breaks, then a crunch which … Continue reading Drive with care

Copyedits

I got my copyedits back on my novel today. Very insightful, and it makes me relax about the novel at least somewhat. It’s really nice to have another set up human eyes on the books. Over the weekend, I worked on the copyedits for the previous story she did for me. It’s a story that … Continue reading Copyedits

Why I believe Anthropic’s AI settlement is a joke

Anthropic's 1.5 Billion dollar settlement is a slap on the wrist. Here's why.

Extra recording

My throat is sore tonight. I recorded four chapters of Perfect 10, the upcoming Loki story. I’m use to only recording two chapters in a day typically. But today, I thought I’d shake it up and do two sessions each of two chapters. As I neared the end of the third chapter, I was starting … Continue reading Extra recording

Question for me

Can I give it up? That’s the question I’m asking myself right now after last night’s post. Yes, some days are a drag, and trying to think up something when I’m feeling down can be very hard. Some days I’m flat out tired, like last night where I got off work an hour later than … Continue reading Question for me

Question for you

Do you enjoy my daily blog? Just wondering. If so, let me know by dropping a line in the comments. Otherwise, this might be the end of the daily blog. I’ll still blog, just not every day. Mostly, I’m curious. Cheers.

Grounds in my coffee

With a title like that, you know it can’t be good. Goblins have gotten into my coffee maker. I bought these new paper filters for my K-cup. I couldn’t find the brand I’d been using in any of the stores, so I had to go online and brought these filters that everyone said worked wonderfully. … Continue reading Grounds in my coffee

Launch day

The Kickstarter for Wings to a New World started today. Worked late today. Thank goodness I got writing in before launching and beginning the promote train. Also did audio editing beforehand. I’m wrapping this up late, but at least I’m getting it in there. To your health, joy, and happy reading.

Upcoming October reading for you

A look at the cover for the story I have coming out at the end of the month just in time for your Halloween reading. More details to come, but this is one of the stories that I wrote for my gothic class last May. It’s in a strange area where it’s longer than a … Continue reading Upcoming October reading for you
