A Good Day

All in all, a very good day. Even when life has handed me financial lemonade lately, things are definitely looking up.

I got a new job from an old client.
I got started on a new job from a new client (even if I couldn’t make much headway becuase I couldn’t get hold of the other people […]

Class is in session.

I started a new blog today, but it’s not your everyday, run-of-the-mill, this-is-the-crap-that-happened-to-me-today blog. Not one to do things the “normal” ways, this blog is actually a class. On writing.
When done, it will take you from zero to a completed, publishable novel. So why another “how to write” site? One of my favorite authors, Holly […]

An interesting experiment

Tom Corven, a novel by Paul Story, is leading an innovative experiment. Before asking traditional publishers to take a look at his novel, Paul is taking the matters into his–and your–hands. Where a traditional publisher would take the financial risk on a new novel, Paul is asking you to. For $500, you can have your […]

A never-ending, wonderful journey

When you’ve decided to self-publish a novel, it seems like the work never ends. Although, I don’t think it’s just for self-published authors. It seems like any author who really wants their work to get out there and meet the eye of the public, marketing is a never-ending process.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s a wonderful […]

The Magic Box

It happened today.
A little brown box sat on my doorstep as I rushed home from work. I knew I should go grab the kiddos from daycare, but the box called to me.
Out of the car, I sped up the doorway and looked at the box. When I saw the simple word “Lulu” my heart started […]

Dynamic Terrains 01: Types of Dynamics

Since this is the first “real” chapter on Dynamic Terrains, I thought that we should build our foundation, so that we have somewhere to grow from here.
When I say “Types of Dynamics” I don’t mean all of the different forms of terrains. Instead, I believe there are 3 primary aspects of each terrain that can […]

It’s a true honor . . .

Michael A. Stackpole, author of such wonderful books as I, Jedi, and A Secret Atlas, has granted me a blurb, or short review, for the book. I couldn’t be more thrilled. The man is crazy busy, but still took the time out to honor me. Wow.
Thanks, Michael!
You can read his blurb on the Daughter of […]

Rolling in it

Inspired by the Anniversary Episode of the Dragon’s Landing Podcast, and the talk about all of the “money”, I thought I’d see what it would take for Chuck and I to make our living off this podcast. Just from the podcast.

The Secret of Captain Jack Sparrow’s compass

I was rewatching The Secret tonight and the picture of Captain Jack Sparrow’s compass from the Pirates of the Carribean: Dead Man’s Chest popped into mind. In Dead Man’s Chest, Jack’s compass, we learn, always points to what he most desires. The problem is that he doesn’t know what he wants, so it bounces back […]
