It’s hard for me to be honest in this show. I don’t know how much to say. Sometimes I know it’s professionally bad to do so (“That gosh darn [agent/editor name REDACTED] just pissed me off when they [slight REDACTED], I’m going to go shoot someone with a potato gun!”) Other times I worry that [...]
I hate resolutions. They always feel like a, “Here’s how I will fail in the new year” list.
New Year’s resolution time, kiss another year good-bye!
These New Year’s resolutions are just another pack of lies.
-”New Year’s Resolutions” by Scary Gary Allen
Then again I have read that writing down [...]
The hard thing about being in business for yourself is it’s hard to know when to take a break. I figure Christmas is one of those times. I have been working very hard this month to finish my book, not to mention the various domestic emergencies we’ve had to deal with, and Christmas to prepare [...]
Every once in a while people ask me where they can get my work. So, for your convenience during the holidays, here’s a list! (NOTE- links in BOLD are affiliate links.)
Playing For Keeps: Superhero novel, winner of the 2008 Parsec Award for best podcast novel. You can buy it at Indiebound,
Below is the promo for my buddy Grant’s (Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd, The Henson Podcast) annual Advent Calendar podcast. And I wanted to talk a bit about it as an example of frightening creativity.
Every year Grant’s mom fills his advent calendar full of stuff. And this 30+ year old man opens [...]
I just got the go-ahead to announce this, as Ann and Jeff VanderMeer are looking for “micro submissions” and have listed the existing writers.
I have a soft spot in my heart for Thackery T. Lambshead. When the first book, the Hugo and World Fantasy Award nominated The Thackery T. Lambshead Pocket Guide to [...]
This Saturday we head to Australia for WorldCon (and a two week vacation, by the way)! The dog is taken care of, the housesitter is secured, and tickets are bought. It’s really happening. Eek.
If you’re going, here’s my schedule. Would love to see you!
Fri 1300 Rm 211: Foundlings and orphans; Sat 1500 Rm [...]
Confession time. In today’s Internet age, we (I) are easily distracted, entranced by shiny devices that play games and movies and music, and an IM is a tiny shot of dopamine that our brains crave much more than any stupid learning given by BOOKS.
That said, a writer needs to read. It’s not just a [...]
I’m trying to get my novel edited. Besides the paying work deadlines, it is my only priority. Hence no blogging or podcasting.
I have gone through the horrible angst of, “this is nothing but derivative tripe,” and have reached the point in creation that Connie Willis refers to as “The f***ing book.” It is only [...]
Really? I’ve never done a Metacast before? In FIVE years? Maybe it was called a “special” cast. I dunno.
Regardless! I talk about what happened in May, what I’ve been up to, and assure you that the podcast is back and going nowhere anytime soon. We return to calm, clean, solo podcasting here.
Note- I [...]
