So last night, instead of doing something constructive, like washing dishes or vacuuming, I was perusing articles on Dear Author. Admittedly, it’s a site I’d never visited before. So. You know, there was the urge to get “caught up.” An...

It was a busy weekend, kids. The only writing I accomplished this weekend was a single paragraph I wrote while awkwardly waiting for a wedding rehearsal to start. The only reason I ended up writing it was because there was a fifteen foot crucifix in the front of the...

I mentioned earlier this week that I started my next novel, which is crazy exciting and a nice change of pace from editing the same crap I’ve been editing since January. Kidding. My novel isn’t crap. But I’m sick of reading it. What I neglected to...

I don’t even know where to begin. Part of the problem is that I’m half watching Hang ‘Em High, which is completely uncalled for because I’m not interested in Hang ‘Em High. I actually caught myself thinking, “Clint Eastwood...
