[Writer Post] Crazy Brain
I’ve started three blogs today. None of them got past a paragraph before I trashed them. That should tell you how my week is going. My brain is SUPER “Squirrel” at the moment. It’s been one of those weirdly busy but not really times. Deadlines are either still quite a ways away or non-existent, and […]
[Writer Post] ArmadilloCon – The Report(ish)
It’s the Wednesday after ArmadilloCon. It’s not the most relaxing week ever, but I’m getting there. No fan run convention is created equal – heck no convention PERIOD is created equal.

[Writing Post] Pre-ArmadilloCon Schedule
There are some distractions here, but there will be writing, but I don’t know how prolific or GOOD it will be. But I’ll doing something, even if it’s just the flash fiction writing exercises.

[Writer Post] Is it Wednesday or Monday (Again)?
Days are confusing this week with the holiday being on Tuesday. It’s kinda like there are two Mondays – but it’s not a pen review day (though it did get me looking up something to help organize pens, though it’ll never be on the same level ever to Jimmy. He has a blog binder for […]

Road to recovery…in a writing sense. My creative output has sucked this last quarter. No other way to put it. It’s not that the I wasn’t willing or that I haven’t beaten myself up over it. Or tried to force my way through it. I have. And you know what? It’s still sucked. I’m behind […]
[Writer Post] Greetings From Buffalo NY
Many apologies for dropping off the face of the earth this week. If you follow my social media, you know I’ve been participating in a conference for my Day Job in New York State. I have met so many awesome people and animals. I’ve seen some amazing scenery. Done a lot. Seen a lot. Totally […]
[Writing Post] Stubbornness and Questions
This will come as a shock to NO ONE – but I have Journalist in my blood. I’m a WHO, WHAT, WHEN, WHERE, (especially) WHY person. It’s what drives me as a writer. It’s what gets me in trouble probably with my parents (when I was a wee one), teachers, and others along the way. […]
[Writer Post] Times They are a Changin’
My Day Job Organization is in “Transition”. A lot of it. That’s what happens when executive leadership changes. No one knows what’s going to happen in the long run. This is also my last week of training for Lean Six Sigma Green Belt — then I have to complete my project (or find out if […]
