The Final Stats
The music I chose is, by title and sound, an homage to this writing journey. After 10 or more years, it feels like a path through mountainous terrain as I negotiated my way through plotting and characterization, pathos and grandiloquence, exposition and minimalism.
It was a learning experience, obviously, and I am glad

All Is Well With Me And Mine
We were a little stupid and went out last Friday to get our provisioning done. I say ‘stupid’ because it was ridiculously raining tigers and bears and the wind was insane. However, all the places we needed to shop at had power and their card readers were working and we...

Mood: ‘Letting Go’ by James Dooley
Oh, Life, Sometimes You Can Be A Sonuvabitch!
My mother’s 86th birthday is coming up October 4th. I was trying to figure out what to do for her that would be memorable. She had been chatting with her older sister for many years, mostly by phone, and they always have a great rapport, so I had a thought.

Done and…Done?
Yeah, I think I am finally there, for the nonce, at least. What the Hades does that mean? Well, I believe I have written before that this was a book that needed to get out of my imagination. As such, it has been written for the group it was meant, and that is a specific group: my

Life Has Been A Bit Crazy
Yeah, it’s been a while since I’ve been around or even posted anything to any thread or photo set, let alone a blog. Nothing terrrible or out of the ordinary has kept me away, just the inevitable busy-ness of Life and setting priorities.
There have just bee too many other IRL things

‘Blame It On The Boogie” by The Jacksons
Moods?
A few ‘moods’ this time ‘round; the first should be obvious because of the blog title, but is also one of the music groups I listen to while writing or thinking about writing. The Jacksons are there and a ‘mood’ because I have been boogying with my revisions! Amongst the revising done...

Let The Revisions Begin!
I am a few weeks off of my semi-planned schedule to begin the revisions of my first full novel. I just truly began this weekend and really didn’t get too far. Let me try to explain why…
I have written before that this book began as a way for my Renaissance Fair character...

Welcome To The Lunar New Year!
What is it, what does it mean? Present history has the origin of the Chinese Lunar New Year beginning at around 1600BC. China's Lunar New Year is known as the Spring Festival or Chūnjié in Mandarin, though other Asian counties also celebrate it: Koreans call it Seollal and Vietnamese refer to it as

Each Year Seems More Eventful
Many of us do it at this time of year, look back on past events. Maybe many of us even go so far as to make a New Years Resolution, though many of those I now eschew such a thing. Myself, and I do not know if it is just
