Out the window: The sky is a haze of white-gray, with a soft breeze rustling through the palms and oaks, causing more oak leaves to fall onto our newly-raked lawn (:sad:), and promising rain (which may or may not come to us, honestly), which would make my orchids (and me) very, very happy.

Starting 2021, A New Year
You haven’t heard from me much last year–last month, especially. I really don’t want to recount that time and those troubles. Let’s just say that 2020 went out kicking and screaming and causing as much havoc in my life as it possibly could, as long as it could. But now that is over and done.… Continue reading Starting 2021, A New Year

Beach Day
Spousal Unit has remembered that we won’t be traveling for the holidays this year, and therefore he won’t need to save his vacation for that travel we won’t be making.

On the desktop: a thick stack of revision notes, going through the entire novel scene by scene. I’m over a quarter of the way through them, though, so that’s worth something. Also, an empty cup… Continue reading Writer’s Desk, 10/21/20

A Clean, New Look
Well, if you haven’t noticed, it’s here. I’ve changed this blog’s theme, and spruced things up a bit. More has been done behind the scenes, and more will continue to change back there where you won’t notice it much. Hopefully I will, though. Meanwhile, life isn’t stopping. I’m still attempting to write this draft of… Continue reading A Clean, New Look

A New Look is Coming
You may notice something different here–specifically, NO MORE ADS! Yes, that’s right. I finally did it. I finally got a paid WordPress account and got rid of those ads plastered all over the site. (Ugh. I’m sorry you had to … Continue reading →

Happy Equinox!
Here in the northern hemisphere, it’s officially the first day of fall. Mother Nature is feeling the love, as our temperatures “plunged” into the low 70’s overnight, and even now are barely above 80°F. I simply cannot tell you how … Continue reading →

World Postcard Day is October 1
I know it’s nearly a “lost art,” but the humble postcard is 150 years old this year, and the world is celebrating that with the first-ever World Postcard Day. Postcard fans like me will be celebrating by, what else, … Continue reading →

Publication Day! “Jancy8146 and the RealHouse” is live today at DSF!
What a great thing to wake up to on a stiflingly humid Monday morning! My story, “Jancy8146 and the RealHouse” went up as today’s story at Daily Science Fiction. Oddly enough, this sold before “What You Do for a Friend,” … Continue reading →
