Welcome to day one of NaNoWriMo, everybody! (possibly day 2 if you’re in a different time zone than me) Remember to lock that inner editor of yours up in a cage and throw away the key for the next thirty days. They can squawk at you about things like grammar, talent, and plot development in [...]

I’m not going to make a speech. By now you’ve all heard just about everything you can hear about the upcoming election, and there is little I can do to sway you one way or the other. And, I don’t want to turn my blog into a political platform. The beautiful thing about this country [...]

Well, my lovely ten day vacation has come to an end, and I’m back to work. I don’t really mind. Today was good, aside from the fact that my partner in crime has been suspended and I haven’t talked to him in over a week. Kind of starting to go a little crazy on that [...]

I’m back to work on “Harbinger” now. I’ve had a friend of mine, Terry (also a co-host on the podcast), looking it over for me, and this weekend he gave me the last of his notes. This morning I spent a fair bit of time incorporating those notes into my manuscript, so now what I [...]

Hello? Why, yes, I AM writing to you from my vacation! Hahahaha! OK, so technically I haven’t left yet, but EVEN SO. I am planning. Lists are being written. Eventually, there will be packing. I only wish I could pack my friends with me. Not that I have anything against traveling with my mom–we’ll have [...]

Orange Box finally arrived yesterday. I was such a happy little gamer geek, staying up until midnight to shoot virtual people in the head. I also got to see Iron Man at last. Dad got it via Netflix and we all watched it last night. Awesome movie. I can’t wait for the sequels to [...]

For every action, there is an opposite and equal reaction. For some reason, every time I have a good day at work, it is immediately followed by a completely shitty one which totally throws off my groove and leaves me feeling as though I’d have been less abused if they’d hung me from the ceiling [...]

I simultaneously love it and hate it when I’m just about to logoff when one of my favorite songs comes on via iTunes and I just HAVE to stay a few more minutes to finish listening to it. Yeah. Does anybody else do that?
HOLY CRAP! Two entries in one day. The world is ending, I [...]

Damn. It’s been almost a month since I’ve updated this. Sorry. Not much has been happening, though, just the usual day to day stuff that’s interesting only to me. I have started writing again, though. Dreamfall is pretty much dead for the moment, so don’t expect anything new with that, but I am working on [...]

I’m not going to recriminate myself for not posting in awhile. I’ve done it before, it’ll happen again, and there are only so many times I can apologize and say I won’t do it again before I just start sounding hollow. So, there.

But, I do have some good news! I’m published! My short story, “Dark Running,” has been published in the September issue of Ray Gun Revival. If you want to read the story, please go HERE. I am thrilled to be part of their magazine, and I hope that they’ll want to publish more of my work in the future. I’m happy happy happy.

And, to make life even sweeter, I’ve also been notified that ”Dark Running” has won First Place in the FenCon V short story contest. FenCon is a science fiction and fantasy convention held in Dallas, and this is their fourth year to hold the competition. I entered the competition with no expectations whatsoever, so it was a real treat to see that it won, and First Place no less. w00t!

Anyway, things are going well for me right now, and I’m going to do everything I can to keep that going. Take care yourself, and come back!
