Clutter

One thing is clear to me:  I need to clean my home office.  As I write this, I am surrounded by piles of paper, shifting and flowing like sand dunes in a desert, threatening to engulf me.  I know it’s part of the writing game and mostly unavoidable…but it’s past time I cleaned up the [...] http://bit.ly/38yONa

Stop and Go Writing

I admit it.  I have a tendency to overplan.  I’ll pile too many activities into too short a period of time, and then I’ll wonder why on Earth I didn’t get everything done.  Case in point, this week.  I badly want to get some writing done, but I’m overbooking the week in a big way.  [...] http://bit.ly/tsg8x

Head Work

Sometimes, even when my butt isn’t in the writing chair and my fingers aren’t hitting keys on the computer keyboard, I’m still making progress as a writer.  Putting aside all the non-writing activities that contribute to general health and well-being or broaden knowledge of storytelling, I sometimes have fertile non-writing days thanks to extensive thinking [...] http://bit.ly/2RXSDQ

Goodies Restored

The other day, I wrote about part of my life as a fiction writer, the phenomenon of “vanishing goodies.”  I was talking about losing things that I think are a lock, such as a story sale or a promised check or a publishing deal.  These are all harsh realities in every writer’s life, and we [...] http://bit.ly/RDhjY

Again with the Crappy Luck

I just wrote you quite a nice post about the week, my writing, and the weekend ahead, but for some reason, WordPress made it go away when I hit “Publish.”  And now I’m out of time to work on this.  So sorry you missed out on my wonderful post, but I’ll try to make it [...] http://bit.ly/12fRd4

Little Reminder

Last night, I had the most wonderful night swim in my back yard pool.  The Moon and Mars were in full glow, the air was calm, the crickets were chirping.  It was so beautiful, and I thought about how lucky I was to be able to enjoy it.  Then, this morning, I woke up to [...] http://bit.ly/W7bSI

Vanishing Goodies

One of the hazards of writing and marketing fiction (or anything, I guess) is when you make a precious sale, and for one reason or another, it goes away.  This just happened to me again, with a short story sale to a web and print journal.  I sold my story to the journal, signed a [...] http://bit.ly/4TOCT

@TheFictioneer (Assimilated by Twitter)

I’ve known about Twitter for a long time now, since long before it became such a popular phenomenon.  From the start, I dismissed it as a useless, frivolous waste of time.  What possible value could there be in a social networking system that only let you post 140 characters at a time?  It looked to [...] http://bit.ly/jhx6a

Testing

Just a quick note as I test a new system to link up my WordPress blog with some networking sites.  I’ll let you know later if the test works!  See you then!
