  • Some people like “How To” books. They buy “How to be a better ____” books over and over again when to me they so often repeat the same information or contradict one another. Sometimes they read like the person read the other book and decided to do his best “this isn’t really plagiarism” impersonation. Needless…

  • Slingshots

    As weapons go, I did not have many growing up. I wasn’t allowed toy guns or squirt guns because my mom was certain I was going to go around squirting my neighbors or pretending to shoot my neighbors. All that meant was I borrowed my neighbors squirt guns and squirted my neighbors that way. It’s…

  • I’m learning something new about myself. When I have a full requested by an agent I like, I stop querying. It’s not an intentional, “This is it. No need to send these things out any more!” It’s more of a, “Damn, that’s hard work. I’ll get to it later.” Later just happens to come after…

  • There are many reasons why I prefer cats over dogs. Many many reasons. Today’s reason is because their genius knows no limit. We have three cats, an old man and a brother and sister we adopted a year and a half ago. The young boy fancies himself the king of the jungle and regularly mauls…

  • I stopped telling people I write fantasy unless they directly ask what I write. Even then, they get that masked look on their face like they’re trying their damndest to hide their disdain. That or they had a sudden bout of diarrhea they were fending off. Any more, really, I don’t like telling people I’m…

  • I was cycling through the new offerings on Netflix for instant streaming. They just closed a lot of big deals and there is a lot of new content. And what do I find? Fraggle Rock. Not just a few episodes, oh no. ALL OF IT. ALL. OF. IT!!!! This almost makes up for the time…
