Writing Wednesday: Thinking Forward to 2021

Last Week’s Goals My blog entries all went out on time. I have all my currently available stories in market rotation, just to keep Heinlein happy. In marketing, I continue promoting with Indies Unlimited Thrifty Thursdays and Kindle Unlimited Fridays   every week.  “In a Flash” made another appearance with Choosy Bookworm, for another 50 … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about Whether It’s Really the Acting

I used to act (I really think we all act – we have our exits and our entrances, and one man in his time plays many parts. Sorry for the plagerism, William Shakespeare…) Seriously, all of us, whether we choose to admit it or not, are actors. We perform different roles depending on our audience. … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: Don’t Let a Story Languish – Write It While It’s Hot

Last Week’s Writing Goals My blog entries all went out on time, and I had a rare occurrence on my blog – SOMEONE ACTUALLY COMMENTED!!! It wasn’t anything approaching a conversation – just a compliment, but at least I know it’s possible for people to do it on my blog… I discovered that another site … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about Where We Stand (Or Will We?)

So much narrative… As we wrap up 2020 (even though it’s intent on sucking up the air of 2021), theer are so many things troubling me that I need to give voice to.

Writing Wednesday: Taking a Step Back

Last Week’s Goals My blog entries all went out on time, and nothing has come back from market recently, so my available stories are circulating out there as Heinlein says they should be. Beyond this blog, I made no additional efforts at marketing aside from Indies Unlimited’s Thrifty Thursdays and Kindle Unlimited Fridays, and hoped … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about the Silencing of Dissent

As John Adams said, our form of government was made for a moral people. If you are willing to lie under oath, what can be done about it? People throughout our country are sworn to uphold our Constitution, to protect the country from enemies both foreign and domestic. They swear their oaths, and all seems … Continue reading →

Fractured Fragment Friday: “Sleep with the Snowmen” (and a coupon!)

Here we are, in the midst of the HOLIDAY SEASON (even if 2020 gives it a not so jolly feel.) With Christmas only two weeks off, let’s look at “Sleep with the Snowmen”, the only Christmas tale in my repertoire. Not all of us are angels, and there are reasons that Santa has a NAUGHTY … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: Hung Up On Timing

Last Week’s Goals My blog posts all posted each day, but last week’s Writing Wednesday was an hour late. I usually write my blog entries no later than the day before they post -I need to stay ahead in my writing. The few stories I have available for submission are rotating back out to market … Continue reading →
