  • 100 Rejections (well, 38 anyway…)

    Several years ago, I stumbled across an article talking about why you should aim for 100 Rejections a Year, and it was something I really took to heart. I have yet to actually MAKE it to 100 Rejections in any given year, but the number is not really the most important part. The important part…

I’m very happy to announce that my short story, “Black Stones” (which has previously appeared in my short story collection Bowlful of Bunnies a million years ago) is one of the many great stories in the Spring 2022 The Sirens Call…

    2021 Books in Review.

    This is a little overdue in coming, but, with the new year, I’m still sort of getting a good hold on my new schedule that should hopefully have me posting and interacting more, and, of course, I have to take a second to talk about the books I read last year before moving on to…

    100 Rejections in a Year.

    Several years ago, I came across the idea of aiming to get 100 Rejections in a Year (probably not due to this article specifically, but this one is a good reference point all the same), and it really struck a chord with me. Not only because I believe one of the best tool a writer…

  • Four Years Overdue.

    Four Years Overdue.

    Well, well, well. Look who finally decided to come crawling back to WordPress! The last entry on this blog was about three and a half years ago, and I don’t think I have to tell anyone that the last four years or so have definitely been a doozy, especially the last two, but, at the…

  • Brushing off the Dust.

    *brushes the dust off the shelf, attempts to remove the cobwebs* Hey, everyone. I know things have been pretty dead on this site lately, but I just want to drop in and let anyone still hanging around that there’s a revival coming soon, hopefully. Next week or two, I’ll be playing around with a little…

  • Not Quite a Romantic Reset.

    Here everyone’s probably going to talk about Valentine’s Day today, and I’m just doing a day-late, dollar-short Monday Morning Reset Post. It’s been a while since I’ve done one. Because the Crazy Work Schedule was messing me up big time, I thought, “Maybe they’re unnecessary, maybe I don’t need to do them.” And, in a…

  • It feels like I made this recipe ages ago. It feels like months, years, decades have passed since I’ve last been able to sit down and make a blog post. This, of course, is a gross exaggeration, since it’s been all of maybe a week, but what a doozy this week has been. Today is…

  • January by the Numbers.

    This is the sort of post I don’t imagine many people will find interesting, but I’m a little bit of a numbers nerds and thought that, this year, I’d really like to keep track of a lot of little details and lay them all out at the end of the month to see how I…

  • I’m American, so we don’t really have Boxing Day here in the States, but I’ve always been a little bit fascinated by it, a holiday built up around a distinction in class and/or appreciation of the tradespeople that make Christmas Day possible. Maybe I’m just partial to it because I’ve always worked in the service…
