October Reading: A Good Marriage
In the spirit of Halloween season, I’m doing a couple reviews, but not of anything new. These are my old standbys in the short story category. I am a huge fan of Stephen King’s short stories/novellas. It might be fair to say I actually like those better than some of his longer works. Nothing beats … Continue reading October Reading: A Good Marriage →

In the Aftermath of DragonCon
DragonCon was a blast. I only really got two days out of the whole weekend, but it was a blast for me just the same. This year, I did more than I usually do, getting out and having more fun at the Con rather than just sitting around learning new things. Not to say that … Continue reading In the Aftermath of DragonCon →

Big Willy’s Back
Willy Shakes is back again. I had the joy of being on a panel at ConCarolinas which discussed the prevalence of William Shakespeare in modern literature. At the time, I didn’t know there was a TNT show about to come out called “Will”, dramatizing the rise of William Shakespeare in the London theater of his … Continue reading Big Willy’s Back →

There is only During
I just turned 35. Another year. One more revolution around the sun. The usual jazz. I would say something about this year is different, but it’s actually the same and that’s a good thing when you think about it. I’m not creating something new specifically at this point because I’m already doing that. This will … Continue reading There is only During →

Blogging & Me
I’m going to be honest, I’m terrible at this blogging thing. I tell myself I’m going to keep up with it and then I go weeks without saying anything at all. It’s not because I don’t have anything to say. I have lots of things to say; however, I don’t think everything I think needs … Continue reading Blogging & Me →

Raising the Bar
Or as this post should be called “Raising the Bar until you trip on it and smack your face hard enough to break something.” I don’t have writer’s block. I don’t actually believe in the concept. I have a different problem with getting words down on the page and I use the term “Raising the … Continue reading Raising the Bar →

ConCarolinas Happened. It was awesome.
ConCarolinas was a dream come true, but maybe not in the way you think. Yes, I went there as a guest and I was on panels and people watched me with rapt attention (I think), but honestly, the fans were icing for me. The ConFam was cake. I’ve spent a lot of my life drifting … Continue reading ConCarolinas Happened. It was awesome. →

Responsibility =/= Blame
Recently finished “The Subtle Art of Not Giving a F*ck” by Mark Manson. I enjoyed the book, and some of it was a reiteration of things I had heard before. Even what struck me as important is something I already knew: Taking responsibility for something does not equal taking the blame for it. Sometimes, there … Continue reading Responsibility =/= Blame →
