[Writer Post] ConDFW and What’s Ahead
Okay, so this week is moving right along, and look, here it is, Wednesday. And since last weekend was ConDFW, it’s pretty much a given that I’m going to talk about that. ConDFW is one of my home conventions. It’s the one that gave me my start in conventions as a writer. I’ve gone through […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Looking Ahead
Today is Monday, and is supposed to be a pen review blog. I say supposed to be, because I’m struggling today coming off my last book show for a couple of months. ConDFW was this past weekend, it’s a three-day, fan run Science Fiction literary & art convention. It’s tons of fun, but also completely […]
[Spotlight Post] Futurists
Today is spotlight day. Not sure what to do today… I head over to ConDFW in just a few hours. Then it’s the last of the February show marathon! Woo Hoo! I hope to see many of you there. And of course it doesn’t help that I’ve had … SQUIRREL… focus issues this week. But […]
[Writer Post] ConDFW, SFWA, and Distractions
Welcome to Writer Post Wednesday. This has been a Super-Squirrel Week. My focus has been…lacking. Part of it is coming down to the last show of my Winter Marathon (ConDFW starts in about 48 hours). Part of it is Texas Weather Roulette – last week ice and snow; this week, Spring. Go figure. Part of […]
[Writer Post] Sci Fi Expo Report
Sci Fi Expo was last weekend. I have survived two of my three shows in five weeks. ConDFW looms on the horizon.

[Writer Post] Collaborations and Helio-Con 1
Oh, hi… It’s Wednesday. I kinda forgot there for minute. I was busy working on a chapter for a collaborative project that I need to get back to my writing partner. Fortunately, the wrinkle I came up with shouldn’t mess with him too much – and I ran it past him, first. Because that’s just […]
[Writing Post] Squirrel Brain, Epub, and Me
Welcome to Texas, we’re in frantic preparations for the possible “Icemeggedon” that could occur on Friday. The Dallas/Fort Worth area of Texas isn’t quite as bad as Birmingham was when I lived there. Here there’s just a run on water, milk, bread, firewood – you know the essentials. In Birmingham, that threat induced grocery frenzy […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] The NOT A Review Pen Post
Okay, so I’m not doing a review today. I’ve been hit by a truck called ConDFW. This was my second convention/show in two weeks. I’m close to useless today. However, I discovered some fun stuff this weekend. This pen blog does have some legs – thank you all. Mom was right – Paradise Pen Company […]
