Goals, Step One – What Do You Want?
Goals. What are they? How do they help us? Why do we need them? Why are they so hard? If you’re reading this then, like me, you’re probably running up against a circumstance where you have to sit down and write a set of goals from scratch. Or perhaps you’re refining your goals, in preparation…

It’s all story …
Last night, I had the good fortune to be invited to a rehearsal for Sweet Tea Shakespeare‘s production of Antony & Cleopatra, opening January 5 at Holy Trinity Episcopal Church in Fayetteville, NC. Beforehand, director Jeremy Fiebig warned that this rehearsal would be less of a full run and more of a chance to get…

Words complete…
And by complete, I mean that I have finished my first draft of Steel-Toed Blues, and I am fully cognizant of the fact that there is a LOT of work to do before this manuscript is beta reader-ready, let alone good to query. Still, it’s been a long road from there to here. In November…

Back from the hiatus!
Welcome back to me and everyone else who decided to stop by. As you can probably see by some of the lack of posting that’s been going on, I’ve been on a bit of a vacation. If, by vacation, you mean I’ve been going a million miles an hour and finally am getting back to…

Contemplating next steps…
This week I’ve been working the checklists and caffeine pretty hard, as I get ready to start traveling in order to enter the end game of my time in HHC command in the Army Reserve. It’s given me some time to contemplate what I’m doing with my life, and making a few choices to refine…

Another Con rundown…
Before I head into today’s word sprints for Steel-Toed Blues, I thought I’d take a moment of reflection-er-procrastination and give a little bit of a rundown on the Fayetteville ComicCon 2016. For a short glimpse of how last weekend went, here are the Cliff’s Notes: Friday: Out of town guests arrive. Prep house and items…

It’s been a while…
…since I posted anything up here on the ol’ bloggeroo. Some of that is because I’m a lazy blogger. This is just the truth. BUT! I’ve also had a lot of things happening. WRITING!! Writing has been happening! The end is in sight for Steel-Toed Blues, and while I didn’t make my self-imposed deadline of…

Dragon*Con Rundown, II
Yesterday (the day before? All the days are going together) I posted a rundown on this year’s Dragon*Con, which was superfun and the best yet. But, in between that time and now, I drove 12 hours from North Caroline to New Jersey and as such had some time to think. So I thought of a…

Dragon*Con Rundown…
In which I talk about Dragon*Con in a semi-organized, but mostly rambling and at-times-fangirling, fashion. First, let’s talk about D*C in general. This is my third (fourth? I forget) year going, and the second in a row with Ladybug. I wanted to make sure that I would be able to attend panels without her, which…

Just keep writing …
In the past month, I’ve counted all the stuff in my cages at the Army Reserve center, made my way through most of a tricky knitting pattern, finished reading a few books (including some with really small print and no pictures), and contemplated reaching out to start up my Characters interviews again. I’ve also line…
