I seem to be on the fence with whether or not to finish the Silo story. I started it many months ago, and used it as an infill project to work on between my own stories. About a week ago, I thought I was passing the point of no return with it, as I hit the 30% mark in my projected word count. Everything seemed to be going along just fine. Then, I read a number of threads on KB, and suddenly realized that the … Read more
It’s been a bit since I posted something here. That is by design, you see. I have been working on another story, and I have given myself a deadline of the end of the month to get the first draft complete. It’s running long, so I may have to extend it a bit. I was initially shooting for 18,000 words, and have increased that to 20,000. Now, I am just about through the first two scenes, (which I combined into one) and I am going … Read more

Today makes a week into the new year. Normally, I would have posted some sort of “goal” oriented post on the 1st of the year, but I decided to wait a week to think about what I really wanted. But, before I roll onto my goals for 2014 and beyond, I want to do a quick recap of my 2013 goals and accomplishments. In January, I joined an online writers group with aspirations of actually writing my first book. It took most of the year, … Read more
What a year, 2013 has been to me and my family. To start off, I registered for a few online writing classes that were a Christmas gift. I had contemplated taking some classes many times, but I have always put off doing so for one reason or another. The results of those classes remain a mixed bag, as the site I went with was more of a user driven experience, and really didn’t “teach” you anything. I can pick up a book and read it … Read more

I am going through some idea developments and will post here as soon as … Read more
I have some news coming forth, but I don’t yet have all the specifics. A few months ago, I submitted my first ever written short story, titled ‘Amy’, to be included in a charity anthology. The compilation included 27 short stories from 26 different authors from around the globe. The first book was called ‘Something To Read On The Ride’, and is available in both ebook and print. As a followup to that first book, a new anthology is being produced. This time around, I … Read more

So this morning, while I should have been editing Linear Shift, Part 2, I decided to practice my nearly perfected skill set of procrastination and surf a bit of the internet. I follow a number of authors on Facebook, as well as read their blogs. One of those happens to be Hugh Howey. He is like my virtual guide to authorship. His inspiring story is enough to convince anyone they can write. It certainly convinced me. Anyway, while on his blog this morning, I read … Read more
