Random Life Updates

Been quiet for a few days due to stuff. Job Stuff.  Still nothing on the job front.  Aside from figuring out how to make my resume flash with red and blue lights, I don’t know what else to do to get someone to take notice. Unemployment...

Random Video Game Post

With a very few exceptions, I am not a fan of ‘racing’ games.  Especially racing games that try to be as realistic as possible, give you control over every aspect of your car, and pay for upgrades for the smallest thing all the way up...

Writing Journal Y2 Day 215

As I mentioned earlier this week, I lost a days worth of writing to a bug.  This depressed me immensely.  Not just because I lost the writing, but because of the sheer amount of words gone in one fail swoop.  I woke up that morning with a full...

Writing Journal Y2 Day 212

Depressed. Following my upgrade of Scrivener a couple weeks back to 2.3, I came across something odd.  I was typing away on my project and I wanted to know how I was doing, so I opened the Project Targets window, kept typing. Noticed that the...

Photo Friday: Writer’s Block

I shared this on Twitter, but thought it was worth a post: I call it ‘writer’s block’.  You can see Shadow the Cat sitting on the desk BETWEEN me and my laptop.  Sigh.  This is a usual occurrence.  He comes downstairs, crying, I...

Writing Journal: Y2 Day 171

When I started these posts, I thought I’d just write about writing, but somewhere along the way, I started thinking I had to be more pointery (as in, I needed to have a point), or insightful or something.  When you get there in your head...

Space Battles Reviews

Reviews are coming in on the Space Battles anthology and my short story, First Contact. BookWormBlues had this to say: On the flip side, my favorite story in the anthology was First Contact by Patrick Hester. While it did have some obvious scifi...

Writing Journal: Y2 Day 151

I haven’t been keeping up with the writing journal lately.  This is due mostly to not knowing what to say.  Or maybe not having anything to talk about. Sam Kane books 1 & 2 are being shopped by The Agent, which takes time, so...

Dedicated to Brent Weeks: The Song Lyric Short Story

So, I was on Twitter today, when I saw this: Which led me to ACCEPT THE CHALLENGE (I know, there really wasn’t a challenge) and come up with SOME SORT OF STORY using song lyrics for dialogue.  Here it is: (this includes lyrics from popular...

Photo Friday: Short Cuts Cause Long Delays

Continuing the photos from the set taken along Guanella Pass Scenic Byway, a 24-mile stretch of bumpy dirt road running from Grant on U.S. 285 to Georgetown off I-70.  Elevation: 11,669-feet. I wonder, sometimes, about fantasy novels.  I enjoy...

Writing Journal: Y2 Day 123

It’s been a long time since my last Writing Journal (50 days). I’ve started and stopped several new journal posts in that time.  I can make excuses about why I haven’t journaled, including the whole unemployment thing, but...

Writing Journal: Y2 Day 16

The weekend was good to me.  3400 words one day, 4300 the next.  Not too shabby. When I started writing Cold as Ice, the story flowed really well.  I wrote the first part fairly quickly before my mind, racing ahead, forced me to skip a pivotal...
