Losing Weight and Exercise

As a general rule I’ve been trying to keep this little blog mostly about my writing, with a few tangential commentaries or links to things I think have some interest to the types of people who might be interested in me. Not that I’m always right, or anything. But that’s the basic plan of the […]

Lisa: Did you realize you misspelled Memento? Ron: Hey, they don’t call it the Typo-sphere for nothing. Progress Report: Lisa needed to work late tonight, and I took advantage of the time to go get ice cream and to spend a few extra hours on a manuscript. Not a terrible way to spend an evening. […]

Don’t Get Too Comfortable

Gotta love the idea of walking a mile an hour while you’re working. I guess this means that Kevin Anderson has the right idea, as he’s known to write via dictation during his daily walks. Progress: I gathered up and formatted the stories I expect will comprise the collection. I may slot a story or […]
