About time for a blog post, yeah?
Hello!
Long time, no post. There's a reason for that. Honestly, there is. A good reason too.
See, this blog isn't supposed to be even remotely helpful for authors. There are lots of blogs that really are helpful for authors, and who am I to try and compete with that?
So me, I'm just bloggin' about whatever. Anything and everything that is in no way, shape, or form helpful for authors.
Here's the rub. I have LOTS of things in my brain that would be helpful for authors. Come to think of it, I'm pretty sure that most of what's in my brain could end up being helpful for an author. Authors, after all, are chroniclers of life and creators of new worlds. They're hard-wired to absorb everything and weave it into their wordy creations. So pretty much anything anyone says or does could ultimately end up helping an author.
Which makes this a tough blog to do.
That said, I did have some thoughts today that aren't really directly related to helping authors, which I suppose stays true to the original intent of this blog.
Thought #1 - My decaf Americano at the Open Book Cafe was better than my half-caff regular coffee at Dunn Bros. I'm not trying to stir the pot. Just stating a fact.
Thought #2 - I've been happier in general since I stopped eating meat.
Thought #3 - I met actor Lance Henriksen at the MN Crypticon, and he exuded a very Jack Kerouac vibe.
Oh crap. Someone's gonna read this and write a story about an actor deciding to go vegetarian while reading "On the Road" and drinking a decaf Americano.
Well, let it be known that I absolutely did not intend for the above to be helpful for an author. If an author somehow squeezed some measure of value from my musings, that's on THEM, not ME.
And that's it for now. Happy Sunday!
