Brief Notes

I’m feeling a lot of push from my muse to write, which is good overall (except when I get cranky with a friend or loved one who ‘interrupts’ her). I’ve got a couple reviews in the works, various ideas kicking around in my head, a coauthor eager to continue work on Honeycutt Tales and the germ [...]

Balance

February has not been a great month for writing as far as putting words on a page. I’ve been under a lot of stresses, including financial ones and the quest for a place to live. I haven’t stalled out completely, which is a relief, but it’s been hard to find the energy to put towards [...]

Dead Markets and Other Notes

In return, the site [...]

What’s blocking me? (Writing Spaces)

On a private mailing list for my writers’ group, Amul Kumar recently asked, “What’s been getting in your way?” And it’s an interesting question to contemplate. One thing he writes: “I’ve created all these discrete spaces, online and at home, which were supposed to help me focus on the different kinds of productivity that I wanted to [...]
