William Mangieri is a karaoke junkie, former theater student, and recovered wargamer, who spends a lot of time wondering 'What if?'. He writes from Texas, but needed to find somewhere less solid to hold his thoughts. This is the place…

Writing Wednesday: Looking (Fondly?) Back at What Was

Posted on November 6, 2019 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Last week’s goals: Made my three blog postings AND my obligatory comments on the blogs of others (just barely.) I finished reading Ann Leckie’s The Raven Tower (I really enjoyed this one – maybe I should start doing reviews. First fantasy I’ve read in a while that WASN’T part of a series…) and began Terry … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about Greener Grass

Posted on September 9, 2019 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Jealousy and envy are human nature – it’s why the Bible has prohibitions against them (any religion worth its salt should be pushing its adherents to be better than the animals – to hold us to a higher standard – instead of patting us on the back and telling us we’re perfect.) It isn’t amazing … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about the Reality of Perception

Posted on March 4, 2019 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Are you a glass half full (optimist), or a glass half empty (pessimist)person? Or as George Carlin used to say, “The glass is too big” (complainer?) kind of person? Or maybe you’re a “The glass is half full of hemlock” one (a realist, perhaps?)? So much of life is ruled by how you choose to … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about Groundhog Day

Posted on February 4, 2019 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

I have a fondness for Groundhog Day – the movie where Bill Murray is a self-centered cynic forced to spend time in a small Pennsylvania town to do a news story about the traditional sighting of Puxatony Phil on Groundhog Day. Except he stays in the town for one day – and lives that same … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about Doomed Repetition

Posted on August 27, 2018 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Those who do not remember history (or the past) are doomed to repeat it. With my own shoddy memory, I have the advantage of not dwelling on things that have gone wrong, but I also don’t remember what to avoid and how I got out of the situation once in it the first time. Is … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: The Devil with the Details

Posted on August 22, 2018 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Goals watchlist: 3 blog posts. Stories cycled to market as soon as markets were available. “The Voices” eBook released on time last week. I made comments the requisite number of blogs (just barely.) I wrote a piddling 993 words on Herc Tom, Champion of the Empire #6 (yes, still with no title – I like to … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: What Is Etched In Stone?

Posted on August 8, 2018 by authorwilliammangieri • Leave a comment

Goals from last week: 3 blog posts. Stories cycled to market as soon as markets were available. ePublications are still on schedule, but I have a week-and-a-half to choose and prep my August 17th release. I finished reading the fourth book in Robert Jordan’s The Wheel of Time series and have begun the fifth. I … Continue reading →
