Last Week’s Goals All my posts went up as expected. Two submissions came back to roost, and I am currently unable to find a market for them, or the one that’s been sitting on the shelf from the week before. I wrote on six days, and made my daily quota on three of them. I … Continue reading
I was never really a drinker, except a tiny period in my early twenties. And I was never much for beer – just didn’t like the taste of it (at least not any of the ones I sampled.) I tried near beer (I think that that’s what it was called – a type of non-alcoholic … Continue reading
For the next few Fractured Fragment Fridays, we’ll visit the twelve stories in my Herc Tom, Champion of the Empire series. Next up is “Nipped in the Butt.” “Nipped in the Butt” (I do like double entendre) gave me a chance to expand a little more on the conflict between Ramses and the Baastians (I don’t … Continue reading
Last Week’s Goals All my posts went up as expected. One submission returned, but I’ve been unable to find market for it yet. However, I finally found another market for the other piece that’s been stuck on my shelf. I again wrote on only five days, and made my daily quota on only one. I … Continue reading

This has always been in relation to writing fiction, where the writing camps generally split into the PANTSERS (Those who write by the seat of their pants, also known as DISCOVERY WRITERS) and the PLOTTERS (or PLANNERS – people who don’t usually begin … Continue reading
For the next few Fractured Fragment Fridays, we’ll visit the stories in my Herc Tom, Champion of the Empire series. First up is “Purr Mission”, and an explanation of how Herc Tom came to be. So – cats. Why did I decide to write a story about cats? I didn’t, really. The story that eventually became … Continue reading
Last Week’s Goals Meandering Monday and Writing Wednesday were posted as scheduled, but Fragmented Friday never made it out the door (LIFE happens.) Two submissions returned, but I’ve been unable to find markets for them yet. However, the piece that’s been sitting around for a couple of weeks was finally submitted to another market. My … Continue reading
We are all creatures of habit. Yes, sometimes we deliberately step out of our comfort zones and try something new, but it’s usually a one-off; we have the experience, and then when we’re done with it we hated it, or found it interesting, or enjoyed the experience, but then we go back to what we’re … Continue reading
Last Week’s Goals All my blog posts published on schedule. One submission returned and was sent back out, but another that’s been sitting here for 2 weeks still needs a market. My next scheduled release date is May 3rd. That’s nine days, and I still don’t know what it will be yet. I wrote on … Continue reading
When I was still in my teens, I used to study battles. I had no interest in fighting them myself, but I enjoyed the history, and specifically how battles played out. By the time I reached my early twenties I was wargaming – Napoleonic era as well as Fantasy miniature tabletop battles. I used to … Continue reading
