SURPRISED!!! Two characters who went missing reappeared today with a helluva story…
I didn’t know what to expect when I sat down to write today, and what happened when the words started rolling in came at me from out of left field. The whole writing time was pretty perfect — it answered a question I thought I’d lost track of, allowed me to bring back two folks…

I finished up the write-in revision this morning, and while I was at it, completed the story blurb: TALES FROM THE LONGVIEW, EPISODE 4: Gunslinger Moon When freedom is silenced, how does it speak?

Stress, Migraines, and Stuff You Love

The Hard, Cold Publishing Numbers
I’m not sure why I got sucked into this today. Maybe so it would stop looping through my head driving me crazy. This is the second model I came up with, and I’ve been playing with portions of it since Friday. I wrote it all out today, and ran the numbers. It’s pretty scary. ===================================…

The “Couldn’t Get WordPress To Let Me In” Responses
Oh, boy. I’m not putting names on these because they were sent to me privately and not all of them had the “couldn’t get WordPress to work” comment. SIDE NOTE: I host my weblog myself, on my own site, which means your WordPress.com ID won’t work here. You need to create…

So, About That Publishing Thing
As I mentioned in the Writing Updates a short while back, I figured out how to do the publishing thing. Now, not five or ten years from now. But knowing how to do it and knowing if I should do it are two different things. Here’s the thing. I came up with a wonderful business…
