A Look Ahead
So I’ve been thinking about the new year to come. Can’t imagine why, right? 🙂 In doing so, I went back and read Dean‘s posts from way back in 2008 about setting goals for the new year. In reading this …
#NaNoWriMo Update – or – Why It’s Not Bad To Come Up Short
Well, it’s 22:19 on the 28th. I’m just about to hit 30,000 words for the month. Not bad. But…not good enough for NaNoWriMo. Of course, I’ve got some more writing in me tonight, so I’ll probably get to 31,000 or …

It’s been a mixed couple of days. First…the good news. 🙂 Yesterday evening, I approved the print proof of Glimmer Vale. Y’all know how nice the cover art is, but check out how beautiful the printed version is! Pretty …
Burning Up
Yeah, that’s right, baby. I’m on FIRE! Metaphorically speaking, of course. 🙂 On Friday, I pushed publish on another title: another collection of five stories. But instead of shorts, I combined all of my novelettes and my one novella into …
Story #19
Last night, I pushed publish on The Champion, the novella I wrote for Writers of the Future, Quarter 2. WotF rejected it; I know exactly why. The biggest issue was a very easy fix. And so, now it is out …
