Last Week’s Goals All blog entries posted as usual. No stories returned from market, so no need to recycle. I have about a month to go before my next scheduled release day (May 13th), so I need to decide what that release will be. I hadn’t intended to write any short fiction until I completed … Continue reading
You don’t prove you’re right by silencing the opposition. This has been tried throughout history, and does nothing but slow down progress. Sure, the people resisting truth to preserve their short-term self-interest may retain power for a little bit longer, but eventually it has to be admitted that Galileo was right, and that the Earth … Continue reading
I write fiction. I am often asked (even by myself) where these ideas and characters come from. We are all different – what goes on in our minds, what we decide to let out. Each of us exerts a certain amount of control over our unbidden thoughts. Some people don’t have any (or are totally … Continue reading
A suitable topic for a Meandering Monday – the whole point of meandering is to ALLOW myself to be sidetracked. Funny thing is, I tend to start in a direction and keep going that way because part of me (that INFERNAL EDITOR™ I mention- the non-creative side of the brain) tells me that a blog … Continue reading

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
Last Week’s Goals I made my blog posts as usual, and barely made my weekly comments on others (at least I think I did at the beginning of the week – I don’t keep count, and I’ve been a bit unfocussed – maybe the Covid isolation is catching up with me – I’m having a … Continue reading
Last week’s goals: Made my three blog posts on time, but fell backwatds on my blog commenting (it was one of those life happens things that pretty much crashed the week – big enough that I’m NOT going to feel guilty about failing to reach goals, which IS a big deal for me…) I had … Continue reading
Last week’s progress: My blog postings and comments were done as required. I had another story return from market; I sent it back out in a day (Literarium really helps when it comes to finding markets. I still don’t know how to use the tool to keep track of my submissions, but I’m happy to … Continue reading
My report on last week’s goals: I posted my own blog on schedule, and exceeded my commenting on others’ blogs (not by much, but exceeding is still exceeding.) “Schizo the Magnificent” made it back out to market. While I was submitting it, I discovered that “Unaware” had been rejected by the same market (but they … Continue reading
