Writing “THE END”
I was reading an article earlier about how different authors felt when they finished writing a book. I started thinking about my own reaction when I finish writing a book. There are two kinds of finished IMHO. There’s finished with the draft that goes off to the editor and then there’s *finished* as in it’s going to press. I don’t generally get…

Reality
This post was edited 8:07 PM for clarity. Yeah – everyone and their mother keeps writing these silly articles telling everyone they’re going to tell them some great reality of being a self-published author. Something that everyone else is afraid to tell them. Then they lament about how authors have to write a good book, put out an awesome product, and market the…

WTF Wednesday!
It’s time again for WTF Wednesday! So today, after years of using the same copier machine, I finally had my sis show me how to do a double-sided copy. All these years I’ve been doing it the hard way. Dur! That’s definitely a WTF as in WTF is my problem and why the f*ck didn’t I try to figure it out…

Odds & Ends
Writing is an interesting thing. Sometimes something so bizarre or interesting will pop into my head that I have no choice but to write it down.

SPAM Bots & Revision Tales
Earlier this week my site here was hit with one of those comment SPAM bots. If you have a blog you know the ones I’m talking about. The ones that post silly comments and URLs to posts from back-in-the-day in hopes the comments will just sit there unnoticed. The plan being that the more sites that link to them will…

Lucidity
I am not lucid today. My words are a mish-mash of utter nonsense. I just tried to answer an e-mail that, when I read it back (after clicking send), made no sense. Well, actually it made sense, but not entirely. Today is just one of those days where there’s not enough coffee on the planet to make a difference in…

Shaved Pussy & Other Tales
I thought that would get your attention. So today the cats went in for their annual lion cuts. We should do it twice a year. Long-haired cats shed a lot and as they get older they tend to get mats in their hair and have a harder time with hairballs. So shaving them for the summer really does make their…

Everything Else
So I have a lot of odds and ends to share. First things first – I didn’t write a single word this weekend. Hey – even writers need mini-vacations. I don’t know that it was technically a vacation since I spend it doing yard related work. However – it was nice not having to turn on the computer at all…
