It appears that it’ll be a chilly Labor Day out here by Chicago, which is fine by me, as I’ll be working today, anyway (gotta get that sweet, sweet holiday pay). Yesterday was gorgeous, though, the perfect day to finally make it out to one of my favorite places ever, the Bristol Renaissance Faire, right…

I had every intention in the world of getting a post up yesterday. I had the whole day off, so I figured there was no excuse to not get it finished, but, it would seem, my computer had different ideas. When I bought this laptop about a year ago, I bought it because it was…

Have you ever had a week that just sort of feels like a bust? I know I’m my own harshest critic, but I definitely feel like I’ve had one of those weeks. It really wasn’t all that bad, though, which is why I do these Monday reset posts. It forces me to look at empirical…

Well, I’m about to enter the second half of my long eight-day work streak, so the past four days have been a little bit of a blur (having a shark-related “Big Damn Event” in Fandom High didn’t help, either). So things have been a little whirlwindy for me this past week, and it’s still a…

Tomorrow is August. That’s so crazy to me, how did we get here so fast? But time is funny like that, especially when you start living your life with a pretty set routine day to day, so that it all just kind of blurs by you like cars on the highway. August is pretty big…

Man, it’s been an interesting week, if you couldn’t tell by the fact that my usual Monday Morning Reset post didn’t actually go up yesterday. I had actually forgotten that it was Monday, while actively knowing perfectly well it was Monday. It was weird, but, in my defense, last week was definitely a little more…

Here we are, another bright shining Monday! My week hasn’t been too terribly crazy, but, for some reason, the renewal feeling to the start of this week feels especially potent right now. I think it’s just because I know I slacked off a lot yesterday (sucked into several round of Age of Empires), but I’ve…

After some unfortunate delays, I’m pleased to say that July’s featured story from the latest issue of the World Unknown Review is now ready and available for your reading pleasure on the Featured Story tab. Now, as an editor, I always feel I should be impartial to this sort of thing, but there’s always a…

Oof, it’s been an interesting week it’s been. Between all my usual writing, reading, and working things, I’ve also had a visit with my brother and his family and a major mega sinus attack. The sinus attack is still lingering, although it’s a bit improved. Bright light still hurts like the dickens, but, thankfully, Mother…

Anyone who follows me on social media (well, Facebook and Twitter, anyway) will have already gotten the news, but I’m pleased to share with everyone on the blog that I’ve had a second story accepted by the Saturday Evening Post. And it’s already available for your viewing pleasure, in what was a bit of a…
