What to write about this time? For six years now, I’ve managed to drive my writing production – whether it’s short-fiction or blogging – by forcing myself to keep a schedule and a set of goals. In the case of my fiction, I set a number of stories to write each year. For my blog, … Continue reading

Writing Wednesday: Where Are Those Ideas?
Goals from last week: 3 blog posts. Stories cycled to market as soon as markets were available. My scheduled release of “There’s No Present Like the Time” went off – on schedule. Need to start planning for my next release (August 17th); it will probably be another short story. I wrote 1166 words while rewriting … Continue reading

Whether you want to rediscover toys from your childhood, or find special tools or … Continue reading
Meandering Monday about Echo Boxes
I was driving to work the other day, listening to the radio. I’m a political junkie, so I tend to listen to talk-radio, which sometimes gets stuck on the topic of the day (or month.) Lately it’s been on the never-ending series of Harvey Weinstein-like revelations. It’s not just talk-radio, the mainstream media can’t seem … Continue reading
