In which Fucking February is no more. #ROW80 #IWSG #NaNoPrep Whut. Does the term “Fucking February” offend your delicate person? HAVE YOU EVEN MET ME. Moving on… January was pretty terrific in terms of how well I lived up to my 2016 One Word Theme {FOCUS} but the following month — what I refer to as […]
I Don’t Have Time for That Shit.
I Don’t Have Time for That Shit. I like to write. I haven’t done it much in the last six months; I have been working through some shit that needed working. And I think I have come to a good place. A place to begin again, with a clean slate, on a fresh start. I […]
Have a dead mermaid for January 2016 #IWSG + #ROW80
Have a dead mermaid for January 2016 #IWSG + #ROW80 The first Wednesday of every month is officially Insecure Writer’s Support Group day. Writers can express doubts and concerns without fear of appearing foolish or weak. Last year was not lucrative insofar as words written, projects completed, or life lived. I pretty much held on daily […]
Focus. {January: Morning Routine} #ROW80
Focus. {January: Morning Routine} #ROW80 New Year. New resolutions. Bah. Humbug. I am over resolutions. I never even last three days with those things. And they are always the same ones (write so many words; lose weight; stop drinking pop). And by February I hate myself for failing. And then I sink rapidly into the […]

The Story Bible 1: Vows & Goals – #NaNoPrep #NaNoWriMo
The Story Bible 1: Vows & Goals We are in the midst of NaNo Prep and the insanity is almost tangible. I have been cruising around the NaNoWriMo forums, making a nuisance of myself, adding thoughts and opinions like the Easter Bunny drops jelly beans. More than yapping, however, I have been picking up lots […]
Magic Eight Ball – #ROW80 #NaNoPrep
I have a Magic Eight Ball The Magic Eight Ball sits upon my desk. It used to belong to my son, but almost-22-year-olds know everything and no longer need magic in their lives. That’s fine, dude. Whatever. You loved that thing back when you were ten, but I don’t mind storing it, along with all the other non-magical items you […]
Autumnal New Beginnings
I have been thinking a lot about New Beginnings. I am a big fan of Clean Slates, Fresh Starts, and New Beginnings. Mondays provide this feeling on a weekly basis, and I awaken every week with a sense of renewed vigor to pay special attention to my schedule. The first day of any month offers […]
GTfD – Getting Things fkn Done
GTfD – Getting Things fkn Done I am in love with lists. And also with productivity tips, ways to work faster, efficiency, sticky-notes, office supplies, and anything that helps me avoid actually getting anything accomplished. GTfD was created for me. There is an actual, for realz, system entitled Getting Things Done, by David Allen, which […]
NaNo Camp July 2015
NaNo Camp, Oh NaNo Camp. How do I love thee? About as much as I likewise hate thee. Yep, that’s right. I have a Love/Hate relationship with NaNo Camp. That’s because it’s a self-induced period of manic bossy-hood. And we all know how I feel about bossy-hood, particularly when it’s directed AT me and FROM me. Nobody puts […]
