Boy, today did not go where I thought it would. Not at ALL. In the back of my mind, I had this fun little scene planned, and when I popped out of the shower, I knew pretty much where I was going to start. And I did start there — but absolutely none of the… Continue reading Mwah-ha-ha-ha-HA! Evil is afoot, and fun is right on its tail!

This Morning I Caught My Brain Doing Something WEIRD!
I woke up this morning from one of those dreams that seem to go on forever, where there were international spies and murders and I was a writer working on getting a lesson done on deadline, and for some reason, my lesson was interfering with the international spies, who’d sent someone to make me stop… Continue reading This Morning I Caught My Brain Doing Something WEIRD!
Yes, It’s Revision… But Is It DELICIOUS?
Like other folks, lots of writers have pets. And while it had been a whole lot of years since I had pets, for Christmas my guys got me a cat. Sheldon. Very cool cat. Likes to help.

And now I’m fifty-five. Life, health, and…yes, Destiny
I’m back from two weeks of enforced R&R, recovering from another surgery on my tongue, and then waiting for biopsy results. I’ll tell you exactly what my doc told me.

Finishing Thorsday Night: Starting In
Closing on ten p.m., and I’ve had and enjoyed my weekend and a break from work. And, equally important, the story has had two days to sit on the hard drive while I did not think much about it. From time to time I’d get pings from my subconscious/ Right Brain/ muse, so I have… Continue reading Finishing Thorsday Night: Starting In
