I also managed to come […]

So, yesterday’s “get stuff off your plate” shame-listing worked pretty well. All but 1.5 things were done and dusted, and the remaining 1.5 are underway. So, yay me. (shame is not something I recommend, but you use the self-motivational tools that work) And part of why things didn’t get done yesterday is that the contract

Although I’m working hard, I’m still falling behind. That’s a warning sign to me to get some things off my plate, NOW. So today I need to: * finish a client edit and put it back on THEIR desk for a month or so. * get the page proofs for DOGHOUSE back to m’editor *

Do I have any minions out there in western Kansas? Do you own cameras (or picture-taking devices)? Are you not afraid to go out into the uncivilized lands (aka “away from large structures and/or roads”) and bring back some landscapes shots? (With extra bonus points if you live anywhere near the Red Hills) Sign on,

Today is Valentine’s Day (a silly holiday but one I personally like, in small doses). If you’re so inclined, take 5 minutes out of your day to send a valentine to a writer you like, in the form of an online review (Amazon, B&N, Goodreads, etc – wherever you frequent). Hell, send two, or three,
The next two Sylvan Investigation titles are a go. Â I repeat, they are a go…. *does happy meerkat dance* Bless you all, the backer and the boosters. And, with 48 hours to go, we still have a chance of hitting the next stretch goal, where you get to see me delve into the sordid, sordid

The Sylvan Investigations, that is. Â We’re in the final days and still a bit short of the goal… Literally, only a bit short. Â As in, under $700. Â With a little under three days to go… And yeah, I’ve finished fleshing out the outline, and have written the first scene. Â Because once I start thinking about
