Today is arguably one of my least favorite reoccurring days of the year. Maybe tax day comes close, or the day I have my yearly physical (though seeing as how that is a practice I just started last year, I don’t even know if we can count that as reoccurring yet), but really Father’s Day…
This past weekend I was at the Lexington Comic Con to promote my first book, The Completely Inappropriate Tales of Gandersnitch the Goblin (available right now on amazon.com) I will confess that I became increasingly stressed out in the days leading up to the event, as the products I have been selling at conventions and…
Word Count: 1855 This morning I got up at 7am, because my phone was beeping that the battery was low. Somehow it had not charged at all through the night. I had planned to sleep in later, but decided to go ahead, get up, and head to the convention hall to load in. I was…
Word Count: 2062 Tea: Dryad Tea’s Firebird Chai – it is awesome, and one of my most favorite teas. I will confess, that I almost gave up on today’s writing session, only 400 words in. It was a struggle to keep going. My body and mind feel like they are stuck in a fog and…
As a writer, I am rather fond of words. They are the basic building blocks of my art, as much so as a potter depends on clay, or a musician needs those notes. I enjoy word play, and obscure definitions, and even on occasion, crossword puzzles. I am not a grammar Nazi, or a spelling…
Word Count: 2153 Tea of the Day: Dr Pepper So again, I skip my morning tea to write. It felt too hot today for tea, at a balmy 27 degrees… Though relatively speaking, that is quite warm to some of the mornings we have had. The snow and ice is finally melting away, though my…
Today’s Word Count: 2423 Today’s Tea: Ice cold water – no tea (I planned to make tea. I did twitter instead.) I spent the first hour of my writing time today helping out my friend Mab. You can see more about that issue in my other posts. I figured that I was too fired up…
Please retweet this! We still need your support! @facebook Why ask for ID if you just refuse it? WTF? #facebooklied Turn @mabjustmab back on, she is real! #mynameis http://wp.me/p4jBPm-3N Mab just received her fourth rejection of her appeal to turn her account back on. She has provided 4 different types of ids that prove she…
Today’s Word Count: 2154 Today’s Tea: Mango Mate (no clue where it came from, it was in a plastic ziplock on the shelf) I just posted yesterday about writing stuff, so today’s update will be short and sweet. I did not stop at 1500 words today, because I really wanted the chapter to end…
Last Friday, (Feb 27th) was my 13th wedding anniversary. It is thanks to my wonderful, talented, and insurance wielding wife that I am able to pursue this unlikely life as an author, artist, and performer. She is my partner, my best friend, and in many ways, my muse. On a completely unrelated note, during my…
