[Spotlight Post] Star Trek Continues
This week’s spotlight is for something I wasn’t sure I was going to like, but I do, and you might want to check it out – and that’s Star Trek Continues. We’ll talk more about this next Sunday, June 29th at 1 pm at SoonerCon. It’s no secret that I wouldn’t be where I am […]
[Writer Post] Dealing with Technology
Welcome to Wednesday and Writer Blog day. In some ways it’s been a much better week, in other ways, meh. This week is “Technology Hates Rhonda” Week – watch for all the specials on all the “Cool Kid Cable Networks”. FORTUNATELY, it’s still in “annoying” stages and not “Financial Gibbs Slap” stages. I’m very excited […]
[Spotlight Post][Conventions] SoonerCon 23, June 27-29, 2014
It’s a Friday Spotlight Day. It’s also been a…challenging…week. So, since I buried my SoonerCon schedule in the Wednesday Post, I’m going to repost it, with today’s spotlight being SoonerCon. This is a fun convention. They’ve made some changes in the past couple of years to a (in my opinion) better facility. They’re a great […]
[Writing Post] Amazon Vs. Hachette and SoonerCon Programming
It’s Wednesday, blog day. And after a cranky day yesterday, today is much better. So I’ll weigh in on one hot topic, then proceed to the Happier Stuff – my SOONERCON SCHEDULE! The more or less set in stone one… I’ll put it up again the week of the show. The hot topic issue – […]
[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. I’m looking forward to ConDFW as a more relaxing time, even though it’s the longest of my three shows. The literary conventions tend to be less intense than the comic book shows, which […]
[Spotlight Post] Sci Fi Expo 2014
It’s Friday. It’s Sci Fi Expo Eve. The boxes are packed. The table set up is ready to go. Jimmy and I will head over after I get off work to do the grunt work so we’re ready for anything tomorrow and Sunday. I’ll post information on where to find me later tonight when I […]
[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 […]
[Writer Post] But It’s A GOOD Tired?
If there are typos in this post, cut me a little slack today, please? I’m ragged today. It’s been a very long few days – very GOOD days, but long and very eventful and potentially very productive from the business side of writing. We’ll have to see how things fall out over the next couple […]
[Writer Post] SoonerCon is Coming…Soon
Oh, hi. It’s Wednesday. There’s still a bit of the same old, same old going on in the publishing world – SFWA put forth a plan to look into the Bulletin and deal with the other issues that’s enough of a plan to make some people happy and vague enough to give them a lot […]
