Having some fun with the new phone. It takes pictures. I leave you with this for now.
Test Post
Just trying out my website features with my iPhone. I have it set up so that it looks decent if you follow this on a smart phone or tablet. This is sooooo dang cool.
Wraithkin Society
So I was doing some more thinking today about Wraithkin and the series as a whole, and comparing a lot of it to today's society. I wasn't pleased with my thought process. Someone asked on Facebook the other day "When did you decide to be straight?", in regards to an argument about whether or not … Continue reading Wraithkin Society
Memorably Bloody Death
I still don't have the internet at my new place, so for now I'm forced to come into work 4 hours early to get some work done. It's not bad (free drinks) but still, hard to work on some stuff while in public. The right ambience is hard to achieve while you're listening to some … Continue reading Memorably Bloody Death
In Need of Redshirts
"I gave everything, and all I got was a lousy 'Thank you for your service' letter." "Better than a closed casket funeral and a flag for momma." "...point. But would getting paid on time be too much to ask?" "And where you going to spend the money? I haven't seen any sign of a store … Continue reading In Need of Redshirts
Whoosh!
London's burning, and Tehran is asking for the London police to exercise restraint during the riots. ...seriously, I did not pull this off of The Onion. Irony aside (or is that not irony? I get so confused...), I'm currently bogged down with writing. Updating here is becoming difficult as I prepare to move into my … Continue reading Whoosh!
Today’s Word Is — DUH
Damn you, Larry Correia! My posts don't usually start off as kindly as this, but this morning I had this horrible epiphany for Wraithkin, due to a Larry Correia (author of Monster Hunter International, Monster Hunter Vendetta, Monster Hunter Alpha, and so on) post I happened across from a year or so ago. It was basically … Continue reading Today’s Word Is — DUH
Work and Richify Me
I love the spam comments which don't make it past my filter on here. My favorite one is "+1!! Luv your site, click here to get better". I just need to know. Get better at what? Better plusses? Better... food? Booze? Women? I get confuzzled, though it's still entertaining. A day off... yay! I'm going … Continue reading Work and Richify Me
Work Update
End of the world averted, apparently. Who knew that giving someone another credit card instead of telling them to pay off the first two would be "prudent fiscal advice"? I hope people remember this later when their teenager (very reasonably) asserts that they do not need to pay off their old credit card you (...wisely?) … Continue reading Work Update
Messy
So that "overreaction" on my part about agents becoming e-publishers and the conflict of interests I posted about a few months back? Nothing to see here folks, move along please. First: I don't have a dog in this fight, just an opinion and a genuine fear. If you're an agent, please feel free to browse my wares. … Continue reading Messy
Annoying Names On Facebook
You know what bothers me? When someone on Facebook has "author" before their name. I don't know why it does, but when I'm scanning headlines of my friends, occasionally a name will pop up with "Author So and So". This causes a mental cringe. Sometimes, due to inadvertent spamming (it my be not be, who knows) I … Continue reading Annoying Names On Facebook
Convention Possibilities?
I'm looking at adding a few more cons to next year's schedule. Right now (assuming I'm invited back), I'm planning on attending Libertycon25 in Chattanooga, TN on July 13-15 (or 20-22). I'm already scheduled for Mysticon in Roanoke, VA on Feb 24-26 (driving through WV in Feb will be fun...). I also applied for guest … Continue reading Convention Possibilities?
Clarification
...for yesterday's post about Fandom Fest. I didn't realize until this morning that despite my constant complaints about the hotel, I didn't actually name the damn place. Fandom Fest's organizers were doing the best they could, especially with what was thrown onto their laps at the last moment. 90% of the issues lay with the hotel … Continue reading Clarification
Fandom Fest AAR
FandomFest started off well enough. I mean, I showed up a little early Friday to get checked in and only waited a few minutes in the line to get my room. The hotel staff apologized and told me that they were out of rooms on the other side of the hotel, and asked if I … Continue reading Fandom Fest AAR
Home Safe
Survived FandomFest, somehow. Heat was unbearable, hotel sucked, and I sold zero books. Complete loss. On the plus side, I made it home okay. Full update and AAR tomorrow. Night!
