I’m still here. The blogs are still here. And as I’ve said (at WMS), changes are coming. For now, that’s all that needs to be said. Take care dear reader. And I’ll see you next post!

Continuing and improving…
Six years ago, I almost died… Not as big a deal as it sounds. It’s happened before and might happen again (Heaven doesn’t want me, hell’s afraid I’ll take over, but the Grim Reaper’s convinced there’s a bounty on my head and really wants his five bucks…). My adventure six years ago did one significantContinue reading “Continuing and improving…”
To post or not to post…
Yes, dear reader, I’ve been away from the blogs for a couple weeks and I might be gone for another week or two. But that doesn’t mean I’ve forgotten you or the blogs; there are just a few things I need to bring under control. Words are powerful. We as human beings and children ofContinue reading “To post or not to post…”
Hurry up and wait… (But don’t just wait…)
Well, dear reader, the 16-week window for a publisher’s decision on Names and Secrets has come and gone. And… NO DECISION has been made. I have written previously about what this could mean, but I have said little about what to do (and what I’m doing) in this situation. Three options (and one ‘sort of’Continue reading “Hurry up and wait… (But don’t just wait…)”
Playing through…
One of the things I’ve heard from athletes and other ‘physical types’ is that you need to play through the pain. On the one hand this is true, sometimes you need to push through the pain in order to achieve. On the other hand, pain has a purpose, it’s there to tell us something’s wrongContinue reading “Playing through…”
Nano and beyond
One of the most important things I’ve learned is “don’t forget the regular stuff, but don’t let it impede what you need to do.” It’s a hard balance to strike, but it’s important. With NANOWRIMO coming up and a couple other major projects needing attention, I’m stepping back from the blog for a little while.Continue reading “Nano and beyond”
NANO is coming…
I know. It’s still six weeks out. But the time to prep for National Novel Writing Month is now, while it is six weeks out. Writing a novel is a serious endeavor. It takes effort. For many of us, it takes planning. Even if you’re a “pantser” who’ll start on November 1st with a blankContinue reading “NANO is coming…”
You need both…
I’m currently reading Wired For Story by Lisa Cron. I’m also paying attention to what’s going on outside my cozy little office. And in the wacky world of life imitating art imitating life, there are some things we definitely need to understand. Because this blog is about writing and publishing, we will stick to talkingContinue reading “You need both…”
What did you do with your summer? (part 1)
I’ve been a way for a bit, mostly dealing with life stuff. Some good things have happened and projects are moving forward. Over the next couple of months, you will see changes on my sites and blogs. I’m not saying much right now, but I’m back and pushing to make things as they were alwaysContinue reading “What did you do with your summer? (part 1)”
Wow… Has it been that long???
Ok, I knew I wasn’t on the blog last week. Apparently, I wasn’t here the week before either. But have no fear, the whole crew is alive and well (a few dents and bruises but still qualifying as alive and well). At this point I’m still sharing my office with my wife (which increases trafficContinue reading “Wow… Has it been that long???”
