Writing Wednesday: Getting Un-Stuck

Last week’s goals: I posted my own blog on schedule, but even though I threw some likes out there, I failed to make any comments (I fell back into neglecting my comments until the end of the week, which just doesn’t work – it needs to be a week-long process. I shouldn’t have to make … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: What to Write?

Last week’s goals: Posted my own blog on schedule, and managed to comment sufficiently on others. I didn’t have time to explore Literarium properly last week, but my available stories are all out to market for the time being. Hopefully I’ll understand how to use the site better when I get my next return. In … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: My 2019 Report, and Plans for 2020

Happy New Year!!! Last week’s goals: Made my three blog postings, and commented more than usual (and more than quota) on the blogs of others. I’ve started reading Brandon Sanderson’s The Way of Kings (I was pleased with his completion of Robert Jordan’s Wheel of Time series, so thought I would give one of his … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: Whatever Will Make It Work

Last week’s goals: Made my three blog postings and my quota for comments on the blogs of others. I finished reading Terry Pratchett’s Men at Arms – with everything that’s going on in my life, I needed the laughs. I believe that completed my reading quota for the year… “Installment Plan” and “Calling Down Lightning” … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: Who’s Going To Make You?

Last week’s goals: Made my three blog postings, but missed on commenting on the blogs of others (I tried – I did some likes, but I think my brain was too fried to come up with any pertinent and meaningful comments, and I hate just putting ANYTHING.) “Installment Plan” is out to market, and it … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: I Have Some Explaining to Do

Usually, the first part of Writing Wednesday is where I just list out the status of my goals. There’s only a couple of months left this year, so it’s time for me to do some explaining (or re-explaining) about my goals and objectives (the methods to my madness); I’ll go into a little more detail … Continue reading →

Fractured Fragment Friday: “Ultimate Awareness” (and a coupon!)

I was wondering how Super Villains acquired their henchmen, and imagined the interview process with someone who didn’t seem to quite fit the villain mold. “Ultimate Awareness” coupled that idea with the “Why?” of a particular villain. Here’s the blurb: Omnius has relied on his Ultimate Awareness to dominate the city as well as any … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about Playing Games

Hi. I’m Bill, and I’m a game-player. I’ve played games all my life. I remember playing all sorts of card games and board games as a child. I bet a priest a quarter once that I would win at Monopoly (to the humiliation of my family – you just don’t bet with priests.) (I won, … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: Discouragement

Goals: 3 blog posts. Stories cycled to market as soon as markets were available. I have an ePublication to release by Friday, but I should have it ready on time. I made comments (and maybe connections) on the requisite number of blogs, and I wrote 1212 words on Herc Tom, Champion of the Empire #6 … Continue reading →

Famous Friday: What Are You Known For?

I bellyache sometimes about various aspects of society and how tied we seem to be to the need for FAME. Some of it (like school shootings) are totally reprehensible, while others (like SOCIAL media and REALITY TV) are distractions that place emphasis on gaining clicks and views rather than actually ACCOMPLISHING something of VALUE to … Continue reading →
