  • I’m Famous!

    I don’t read erotic romance, but that doesn’t make Roni Loren any less cool. We have a great rhythm on twitter where she posts a blog entry, people comment, she says “Go check out the controversy!, and I go see one person disagreeing with her. I then wag my finger at her for hyberbolizing controversy…

  • F*cking Ponies!

    I’m almost over the summer hump and will return to a normal blogging schedule after. Until then, behold this little piece of awesome:

  • The Good, the Bad, and the Stuffing

    So I have decided that rejections that offer praise first actually sting more than just flat rejection. “This is a great story with strong writing, but I didn’t fall in love with it” says to me “Damn you were close, but it just didn’t click with me” which stings SO MUCH MORE than just a…

  • A Little Binger to Brighten Up Your Day

    I never truly appreciated Jim Davis’ genius until I read Garfield Minus Garfield where another (much smarter) artist removed Garfield from his own comic and revealed Jon Arbuckle to be the wholly psychotic person that he is. Following in that line, some other genius has taken classic Peanuts frames and replaced the text with actual…

  • PATV

    My friend Luke introduced me to Penny Arcade many years ago and it didn’t click. I didn’t have an X-Box and my Playstation 1 was gathering dust. I didn’t get any of their jokes. But one day in 2005 we’re hanging out in his room and his screensaver is a composite of his favorite PA…

  • It’s a Code!

    Every once in awhile I’m in the mood to write a conspiracy thriller story. So I’m updating a website to a new edition. The editor gives me chapter summaries in a Word doc, which implies they’re all new. But they’re not. Most of them are identical to the previous edition. BUT not all of them…

  • And the Blind Shall See

    If I had known that I was going to attend Sara Megibow’s Writer’s Digest webinar today, I would have posted earlier. It was a last minute decision1, and boy am I glad I attended. It was a seminar on querying. I have attended such a seminar before hosted by her boss, Kristin Nelson. That seminar…

  • Ooooo *shivers* Do it again!

    I just had one of those moments. I love those moments. Back in the day, the reason I never finished anything was because I tried to plot things out. I might get a ways into it. I tried to get a feel for it and then write an outline, but I was convinced I couldn’t…

  • Feline Masters

    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…

  • GOO! (Re: Fraggle Rock)

    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…
