[Pen/Pencil Review] Of Sorts…Thoughts and Plans
I know I’ve been a bit AWOL on the pen blog. My Day Job is an “Essential Service” and our staff are essential employees. My brain is full of all things Day Job related — I’m starting to get through the first wave of utter exhaustion and starting to regain a bit of equilibrium. I […]
[Writer Post] Countdown to … All Kinds of Stuff
There are so many countdowns right now. Countdown to 2018. Countdown to Christmas. And most important (to me) Countdown to Vacation! In just TWO DAYS, I’m off work until January 2nd. It’s the first time in a very, very long time that I have time off that isn’t just a day or two for a […]
[Writer Post] Plans, Man! Plans!
I didn’t do a blog post yesterday (obviously). It wasn’t necessarily political (though I did wear red) I didn’t abstain from work – actually just the opposite. I was away from my desk for more than half my day for meetings. Yay? And then due to things happening from tonight through Saturday, there was major […]
[Writer Post] Challenges
Last blog post of 2016 and it’s punctuated with loss and some frustration – which I guess sums up 2016 in a nutshell. Loss and frustration. Good things happened, but it’s been a pretty dark year over all. I’m looking forward to 2017. I have PLANS, man. Lots of PLANS. Going to try to shake […]
[Writing Post][Convention] ArmadilloCon 38
I totally meant to do this blog post earlier in the day – but here we are. But it’s still Wednesday. I’m on track. The word counts have been a bit…less awesome…but I’ve been doing random bits of things since getting back from ArmadilloCon. ArmadilloCon is in the rear view. It was awesome as always […]
[Pen/Pencil Review] Plans for Moving Forward
Today is Monday, and though there is yoga class and post-convention brain fade, I’ve come up with a plan for this blog. WOOT! You see, my yoga class (initially running through tonight) has been extended. We will have July off and then return on Monday nights in August. Which means, I need a more sustainable […]
[Spotlight Post] Welcome 2015
If you believe in superstitions (or just traditions) – what you do on New Year’s Day is what you’ll be doing all year – for us that’s minor home repairs and eating (could be a lot worse). We also had greens, black eyed peas, and corn-based carbs (in fritters – not bread), so those traditional […]
[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 […]
Plans are for Suckers and Technical Support Question
So, yeah, for someone who like to have a plan (and really loves to see them come together), I’m not getting to do that so much this year. The job is there but not. The car is here – but not the tags. The parts are in place but the end result…not so much. Trying […]
