Off to Some Kind of Start, Part 2
Remember a couple years ago when we were all going back to our old projects at critiquing our opening lines? It’s that time again! Writing/blogging buddy Krystal Jane recently posted her new collection, and someone on Twitter just asked about favorite blog posts, so here we go for Round Two. I’ll pick up where I […]

Summer!
I’m too lazy to look, but I’m pretty sure I make a post every year about how I usually don’t get a lot of writing done during the summer. I am still plotting my next project, I’m getting The Edge of the Sphere ready for re-release by the end of August, and I’m also working […]

Drinks Are On Me
Unfortunately, I need to start with the sad news: my mother passed away last week. We knew from the beginning that her diagnosis/prognosis was among the worst you can get, but even her doctors were surprised this happened so quickly.

They were a ton of fun to read, and I also never shy away from self-deprecating humor, so I figured I’d have […]

Setting the Pace
As promised, here are some spoiler-free thoughts on Mass Effect: Andromeda. The game’s been out for almost a month and I’m not finished with it yet (how’s that for pacing?), and I’m really not sure how much I have left to go. Based on the level requirements to unlock certain things, I think there’s still […]

As Seen on TV (or Movies, I Suppose)
Whoopsies, a month went by without a post. I fell into another black hole of work at the day job, and only managed to climb back out about a week or so ago. Also, due to part of that, I managed to wind up on the local news. Again. At least this time I had […]

Things I Love This Summer
This post admittedly has little to do with writing, but I figure things that make me happy can lead to being in a good frame of mind to get some writing done. Also, all of these came to me as recommendations from other people, so I might as well pass them along! “Crazy Ex-Girlfriend” – […]
