I’m sick and tired of being sick

I’m sick and tired of being sick

Well.  Here I am, two weeks out from Capricon 35 and I still sound like shit.  Don’t get me wrong, I sound better than I did – a lot better – but my voice is still mostly crap, which is why I haven’t done any podcasting. ...

That time I made you a Scrivener Template or two

That time I made you a Scrivener Template or two

I can’t remember who it was, but a long time ago, in a Twitterverse very, very close, someone was complaining about the Scrivener Novel template.  Specifically, they didn’t like how you had to create more chapter folders...

Finding a voice in your dialogue

Finding a voice in your dialogue

Once upon a time, there was a show I shouldn’t have cared about.  At all.  It had no space stuff, no monsters, none of the kinds of things that normally drew me to a tv show.  It was about a mother and her daughter living in a small town...

Where do we go from here?

Where do we go from here?

It’s that time of year again. October. The weather is turning colder. The leaves are changing colors. And the anniversary of the birth of the little guy in the picture to the right pops up. Which leads me to become a little more...

Travels, Tribulations and the diary of a food-a-holic

Travels, Tribulations and the diary of a food-a-holic

I recently had the chance to travel to Boston for a Marketing Conference/Expo called InBound.  Hosted by Hubspot, InBound is quite massive.  The sheer volume of people all mashed together reminded me of Blizzcon.  The majority of the attendees...

Photo Friday: More Snow Melt

Here is the photo: “Now that’s a…river?” “Waterfall.” “Mostly.  I bet it’s cold.” *Tries it* “Oh yes. It’s cold!” This was taken in Rocky Mountain National Park, July 2014.
