We Write!
My brain has been on overload the last couple of weeks as I published one book and started on another. Family obligations and scheduling conflicts added to the overload. So the other day I gave up, pulled out my Kindle Oasis and read. Just read. For more than 12 hours, I let my imagination go... Continue Reading →
As I sit here, I'll admit part of me wants to go on a tear about several things currently taking place in and around the con circuit. I'm not going to. Partly because I'm still so angry about one item that I'm not sure I could be anything but profane in my comments. It is... Continue Reading →
Oops. It's the fifth Friday of the month and that means all the Mad Ones are sleeping in. Well, not all of us since I happen to be up to write this. But it means there's no regularly scheduled post. What to do? What to do? Let's see. There are a couple of stories over... Continue Reading →
I'll admit it. My brain is filled with edits for the latest WIP (which means yet another rewrite of the opening chapters, but more on that later) as well as still mentally dancing with glee over the ease of conversions using Vellum. Because of that, I had a difficult time figuring out what to blog... Continue Reading →
This morning, between phone calls and the latest in a line of repairmen, I sat down to blog.The moment I did, the bane of so many writers' existence hit -- no, not writer's block but the cat. Actually, in my case, the cats. Both decided they wanted to be in my lap. It didn't matter... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, I went browsing through sites like Publishers Weekly and The Passive Voice, looking for inspiration for today's post. I'm not too proud to admit my brain is still in that post-publication funk, a funk aided by the fact my work computer (a really nice Asus ROG less than 7 months old) had to be... Continue Reading →
Preparing for today's post, I did my usual wading around the internet in search of anything that might strike my fancy. There was John Legend telling us if we didn't want to listen (or read or watch or whatever) "art" by liberal artists then we would have a great deal less "art" to enjoy. There... Continue Reading →
Let me start by saying I have not successfully carried out a coup here at MGC and taken over. Nor did I draw the short straw and get stuck with filling in for everyone. Brad did me a favor last week by switching days with me. That left me posting Sunday, his usual day, and... Continue Reading →
Wow, the New Year has gotten off with a bang -- or, perhaps more accurately, the sound of air slowly leaking out of a balloon. Traditional publishing basically shuts down during the holidays. So there isn't much coming out of the ivory towers to discuss. But that doesn't mean there's nothing going on. Just the... Continue Reading →
Sorry for the delay this morning, everyone. I have had an upper respiratory infection for the better part of a week that is laying me low. Because of that, I'm taking a break from the formatting series. I will pick it up again, hopefully, tomorrow on my blog. Today, however, I'm going to take my... Continue Reading →
