Meandering Monday about Skimming and Skimping

I can appreciate the detail of other writers, but my eyes tend to fly past the colorful words to follow the plots and the characters. This is especially true with something I’m reading for the umpteenth time – like The Lord of the Rings, or Harry Potter. But even on a first read, I find … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: Reading with My Ears

Stats from last week: Posted three of my own blog posts as usual, and commented on enough of other people’s blogs to satisfy my quota. Still have a couple of stories hanging in limbo because I can’t find an open market (“Date Night” and “Schizo the Magnificent”.)  One of them will be my next ePub … Continue reading →

Meandering Monday about Connecting with Humanity

I’m almost done reading book eleven of The Wheel of Time. Well – since I can barely find sit-down time, when I’m sitting, I’m writing.

Both shows have a similar premise – a man who by profession is NOT a detective goes around behind the backs of the authorities … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: Herc Tom on a Roll

Weekly goals report: 3 blog posts. Stories cycled to market as soon as markets were available. I posted more comments and likes on other peoples’ blogs than I have before. I wrote 2,628 words in six days (still struggling for consistent writing time, but getting closer.) “Cats Out of the Bag” is just over 14,000 … Continue reading →

Writing Wednesday: The Devil with the Details

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 →
