I don’t remember why I bought it, but a number of years ago I picked up a copy of Writers Market. This was years before I actually started to write. I remember that it might have been in a bargain box and I found it to be interesting. The book is simple, it helps writers [ READ MORE ]
I'm foregoing the traditional "I'm too tired to write" post, in order to talk about another bit of writing I've done recently. A few weeks ago I was asked to write a blog post for the site http:// http://wewantedtobewriters.com/. This was sort of a[ READ MORE ]
Today, I wrote. The piece is call Analyst, and it is about a serial killer. Normally, I'd post that sucker here and call it a blog post, but I've written it for a short story contest. Sometimes they have rules about stuff having been "published" bef[ READ MORE ]
The days minutia caught up with me. I had some things I needed to get done, related to Two Decades and Counting, which I handled. I did some guest blahging, which is always good for keeping one's name out there. I didn't run, because I was too sore f[ READ MORE ]

I got to do something fun, today. I helped a Twitter friend with some data she had downloaded from a survey. I got to bust out my mad Excel skills. This always makes me happy. The rest of the day included some exercise and a bit of brain gam[ READ MORE ]
