I finished the hand written draft of the first short story for this challenge. I don’t know if it will make sense to anyone who isn’t me, but I really like it. I will probably send it to a first reader or two to make sure that it makes sense. It ended up being about […]
I started writing the first short story last night. Yeah. It’s one of those stories, that very literary, experimental SF that I don’t always like to read but I do write from time to time. Originally, I was thinking that I’d never be able to send this story off anywhere, then I remembered all the
This weekend I got curious about how much I’d written, as well as published, this year. I didn’t keep track of actual word count this year. It wouldn’t have made sense, at least not for the first few months of the year. I might try to keep better track next year as I’ll be doing

I sent my latest novel, “The Raven and the Dancing Tiger” off to the copy editor yesterday. After my first readers went through it, I ended up adding 2000+ words to it, bringing the grand total to about 66,000. I’m pleased with this novel. While doing the final read through, I came upon scenes that

I figured I wrote about 2500 words tonight, which, yay! This makes the current story over 10,000 words long. Uhm, yay? I still have at least one scene left to write. No, probably two. Hopefully they’ll both be shortish. So maybe I’ll finish this in less than 12,000 words. My goal for the next set
Since people asked, here’s what I do for a lift heavy things (LHT) workout from home, without a gym. It’s all done with bodyweight. Cut for talk of weight and image and health. Read, or don’t, with your own self-care in mind.
