Technology
My beloved spouse has just given me a new laptop, and thanks to excellent advice from mundungus42 I will now be able to access all of my information from 'the cloud' wherever I happen to be. I'm reacting a bit like an eight-year old and bouncing all over the place. This one is ALL MINE! It may even have a name -- I don't know yet. -
Home Sweet Home
I've returned home after a glorious week's retreat with some of my favorite people in the known universe (and those of my very own making ( Read more... ) -
The Lake is Vast
When I first read The Artist's Way, I was captivated by the concept of making time for a weekly date with your creative self. I adopted the idea with marginal success, and in the intervening years weekly dates have turned to monthly, and more recently even less frequent ( Read more... ) -
The Cliche!
John vanSickle's Grand List of Overused Science Fiction Cliches is brilliant (and can be found here: http://enphilistor.50megs.com/cliche.htm), although if you read Georges Polti, there are only thirty-six dramatic solutions in any event. Some will inevitably be a cliche. -
A Whole New World
I'm currently participating in an excellent world-building round-table discussion.

Wow!
Hard to imagine it's almost been a year since I've visited this journal. The year has been both challenging and eventful, and I've begun to resurface and flex my fingers. It's awfully good to be writing again.
When last I posted, my short story Verisimilitude had been accepted into an anthology to come out in the fall of 2012. Regrettably, it ( Read more... ) -
A Busy Summer
We've been traveling a lot this year, and this past month is no different. However, I was able to attend my first ever Defcon. I know very little about the nuts and bolts of computers, so my interests were piqued by some of the more general presentations, such as 'Meet the Fed' (easily my favorite ( Read more... ) -
Verisimilitude
This morning, I've been working on the little author bio/interview/blurb for the anthology With a Twist: Not Your Everyday Vampire Stories.
Later this morning, I'm heading south to meet up with annietalbot to talk books, publishing, and all manner of other good things. -
I Can Haz Website
After encouragement by annietalbot and prodding UberGeek to register the domain name, I have spent the better part of two days wading through website themes and templates, and have put together my very own website!
It's HERE!!! -
Administrivia
It was pointed out to me recently that I really should have a link to a Facebook page and a twitter. I'm not sure I can do the twitter thing, but I'll adjust my links to include my Facebook and the website when it goes live.
