Hello and good evening, (At least it’s evening for me as I write this.) I’ve had a very busy couple of days (Today, the 1st of August and yesterday, July 31st) that started with yesterday just not feeling the writing. I normally do not have that problem,...

I’m only 855 words into my writing day as I start this at 8:01am. Apologize (featuring OneRepublic) from Timbaland’s album Shock Value just cycled up in the playlist. My good friend (who also happens to be a writer), Erin Wright, introduced me to Jared...

I’m pleased to say that the writing is going well this morning. Such a marked difference from yesterday. I think I was correct in my hypothesis that not going straight to my computer when I woke up yesterday was the root cause of my lack of motivation. Before I...

If this month had gone according to the plan I laid out for it back in March or April, I would be writing this from a hotel room in Grand Junction, Colorado, on my way to an in-person Fantasy Thriller workshop in Las Vegas. But to paraphrase a saying I’ve heard...

…isn’t so bad. I do feel like I’m kinda stumbling along, especially when I go looking for the [Shift] key on a combo I would’ve done with just my left hand last week. But one the whole, it’s not so bad. I am no orthopedist, but I feel...

The evening of July 4th, we had a lovely thunderstorm. In addition to the extra water in the stream in front of the house, though, Mother Nature was kind enough to provide a power outage, too. No big deal, though… we have a generator. It’s a pull-start at...
