    I really should stop reading publishing news. Seriously it hovers between annoying and depressing. Am I the only one who is beginning — no have always thought — that to be a successful author you must have lots of money to begin?  I discovered yet another article where someone who self-published, now has a TV deal…

  • Mini-Musing 12/8/16

    I’m sitting here doing homework, and am doing all right in this course so far – Rhetoric and Critical Thinking – another class I’ll likely ace.  Oh yes, A- in my Literature class but was anyone really surprised by that?  Not me! Anyway, I’m sitting here thinking of shutting everything down.  Just not updating my…

    Wow!  I haven’t posted here since August?  Well it’s kind of understandable.  Just the usual mess going on.  I did try NanoWriMo 2016 but between school, work and life in general it looks like I’m not going to make it.  Besides I just haven’t felt like writing for months.  Hell, right now I’m sitting here…

  • Mini-Musing 8/1/16–More Authors Found!

    I definitely need to go through my hundreds of books more often.  I found more authors who’s books I either don’t recall reading (probably because I hadn’t) or books where their were sequels that I… Source: Mini-Musing 8/1/16–More Authors Found!

  • Mini-Musing 8/1/16–More Authors Found!

    I definitely need to go through my hundreds of books more often.  I found more authors who’s books I either don’t recall reading (probably because I hadn’t) or books where their were sequels that I lost track of.  But you know it’s like finding buried treasure.  Yes, I have THAT MANY books and my TBR…

  • Musings 7/10/16: These are a Few of my Favorite…Authors!

    I thought since my last Musings was about the scarier aspect of the business, I thought I’d do something in contrast.  So with this Musing I’m going to discuss one of the best things about this business — US!  Authors I mean.  Hell, there wouldn’t be a business without us, right?  Anyway, I thought maybe…

  • Mini-Musing –This is a Scary Business

    So I’m cleaning my office today, despite being on stay-cation.  Trust me, it’s messy and needs it.  Now last time I did this I mentioned on Facebook that I came across some books I don’t recall purchasing and/or reading.  I guess it happens when you have almost 400 books in your office alone and keep…

  • Musing 5/30/16–OK, so I bent the rules a bit.

    First off, have a great Memorial Day everyone and remember to take the time to honor the brave men and women who protect our freedoms!  I have an important article posted on my Facebook page but here is it again: Memorial Day 2016: In defense of memorials to our military heroes.  Read it and look…

  • Musings 5/15/16–Just an Old Fashioned Update

    It’s been way too long since I posted something but I can’t promise that will change in the future.  Is anyone reading this blog at all?  I think maybe once in a great while I get a comment.  Of course I’m always appreciative when that happens.  I’ve just been a bit discouraged lately when it’s…

  • MUSINGS 3/20/16 ~ Writing The Way I See It Part 3: Twitter Pitch Contests.

    Tomorrow is the first day of spring and that damn groundhog has some serious explaining to do.  After a week of wonderfully warm weather we get hit again with freezing temperatures.  I have a mountain of gardening catalogs sitting in my office and my desk at work and I can’t do a thing with them. …
