Sample-My New Short Story

One day I was sitting here and I thought, we need more cowboys in space.  This lead me to sit down at the computer and start writing.  The result was originally called ‘The Brothers of Katie Rose’; an homage to the classic western flick, ‘The Sons of Katie Elder’, but then I changed it to [...]

Lunchtime Writing-This thing I’m doing

So.  I started this new thing; everyday I take my laptop and I go off somewhere during my lunch hour and I write.  At best I get 45 minutes of writing time, but it’s 45 (figuring 10 for travel, 5 for ordering) minutes that I wouldn’t otherwise have, so it’s worth it.

So far, I’ve used [...]

So – I’m behind

Man, being sick really put me behind the eight ball (old saying. Look it up.)

I am behind on several projects, not the least of which is some posts I promised Sf Signal. I’ve got a couple nights of podcasting to do this week before I can devote any time to stuff and I [...]

Random thoughts for whatever today is

So.  The bag has been tipped over and the cat is loose.  John Anealio and I have been tapped to do a new podcast for sfsignal.com.  On top of that, I’ll be writing for sfsignal.com a couple times a month.

I think it’s going to be a lot of fun and a really good [...]

The Written Word (or not)

Today, I took the laptop to lunch to do some writing and didn’t realize that the battery was close to dead, so I wasn’t able to work on the project I’d planned to work on.  When I mentioned this on Twitter, someone pointed out that I could’ve just written it by hand and transcribed it [...]

My mom accidentally locked the cats in the basement for a few hours.  She went down there to look for something, didn’t realized she’d been followed, walked up the stairs, shut the door and then headed up to the second floor to clean her bathroom and bedroom.  She kept hearing them meowing and [...]

I’ve been offline more lately than is usual.  Well, I say offline but really I am still online, I’m just staying focused on the tasks at hand and not doing as much Twitter as people are accustomed to seeing from me.  That’s because I’ve been writing.

A lot.

The whole point of this stuff is [...]

Do you remember when vans were cool?

Scooby Doo rode around in one, so did the A-Team.  Heck, my aunt and uncle came to town one year and had one that was really tricked out.  You had the shag carpet (floor AND walls, of course), the swivel chair (very Bond.), the booth in the [...]

The balance between work and not work is always a tricky one. You have to work in order to succeed (sorry if I just burst a bubble there for you – it really is true. Promise). You have to enjoy your work or you won’t do it well and, therefore, won’t [...]

I don’t know a thing about carpentry, but I’d really like to learn.  The problem with going so digital all the time is that the analog can absolutely baffle us.  I don’t know a thing about cutting and sanding and all the stuff that goes along with building something with your own hands.

I’m [...]
