[Writer Post] Multi-Tasking…It’s What’s For Dinner
Wow. Okay, hi. It’s Wednesday. I’m deep into Time Management and Multi-Tasking Land. Why? Because I wrote a blog post about wanting/needing deadlines. I guess it’s kinda like praying for patience – you pray to be more patient, you get put into situations that require it. I committed to finishing a novel and sending it […]
[Writer Post] 911 and WorldCons
Today is September 11, 2013. Twelve years ago our country changed – for better or worse, that will be a question pondered by pundits for another 20 years – forever. In 2001, I had been back from the WorldCon in Philadelphia for a week. I encountered New York City for the first time on September […]
[Writer Post] WorldCon and Writers
So, I’m back from LoneStarCon 3 – aka WorldCon – and though I ended up having a good time, it’ll be a while before I do one of these again. And if/when I do? It won’t be on staff. It’s a ton of work and with all the other stuff to do there? It’s a […]
[Spotlight Post][Pen/Pencil Review] Regularly Scheduled Blogging
Yes, I realize I missed TWO blogs last week. I was on staff of LoneStarCon 3 – aka WorldCon. I ran my feet to the nubs. Friday I could’ve sworn it was Saturday – and Monday we were tearing down and traveling. I know I should’ve had prepared blogs, but alas, I did not. I […]
[Spotlight Post] Cynthia Dickinson – We’ll Miss You
It’s Friday. I should be writing a spotlight. I don’t know that I have it in me today. After I wrote the memorial for Jo Pesheck last week, I learned about the loss of Cynthia Dickinson. Cynthia Dickinson was a regional artist who was an inspiration. I mentioned her on Facebook. She was not only […]
[Conventions] The WorldCon Unofficial Me
I do not have official programming at LoneStarCon3/WorldCon. I do have some programming items I will be participating in “unofficially” because I’m there and part of the group. There are two Rayguns Over Texas anthology… Reception & Readings: Rayguns Over Texas Thursday 18:30 – 20:30 This reception is the launch of Rayguns Over Texas, a […]
[Bonus Post] Rayguns Over Texas
Rick Klaw has been excerpting all the authors in the Rayguns Over Texas Anthology that launches in less than 2 weeks now at WorldCon. Today he features ME…so I’m being self-serving. Here’s the link to my excerpt, and go back and read some of the others. This is one HECK of a table of contents. […]
[Writer Post] Crazy Busy Updaty Timey Wimey Stuff
Suffering from a bit of “foot in mouth†disease today, but hey, I brought cupcakes, so hopefully that counters the slip of the tongue. So…updates… I’m stupid busy this week. What else is new? I have a half-finished short story for an end of the month deadline. Of course, then the freelance gig I have […]
[Spotlight] Rayguns Over Texas, Rick Klaw, and Conventions
Okay, so today is a Spotlight post day. And I’m struggling – again – it’s not that there aren’t a TON of worthy people to showcase, or that I’ve even run through all my friends/colleagues/professional acquaintances. I haven’t – by a long shot. It’s narrowing it down or making it relevant to a project or […]
