Stop The Madness
Of my sucky titles.
I’ve already gone and plunked in a few pages of the new short story, brilliantly titled, for the moment, Serial Jen, because it’s about a serial killer and it has Jen in it. In the future, one thing all literary critics will agree on is that Wayne Santos couldn’t [...]
Oh And On Another Note:
Congratulations go out to Danger Gene Whitlock who’s wife brought in a bouncing baby Ninja into the world at 9:09 pm last night. The baby, Alexander Valentine Whitlock, (Referred to by his alter ego super-hero name “Lex”) will be petitioning for membership into Justice League Infants as soon as he [...]
Stupid, STUPID Day…
Unlike the nudists who insist that winter was invented by the clothing companies, I think there is something to the conspiracy of Valentine’s Day being invented by the candy & greeting card market. For just a few dollars on this one special day, you can go out and make a declaration of [...]
Fortune Smiles On Children And Fools
My luck has always been much, MUCH better than I actually deserve.
When it comes to job hunting, it’s never really been much of hunt, so much as a call from the blue, with a nice job all prepared and tied up in a shiny red ribbon, left at my door [...]
Gooooooooooooooal! Gooooooooooooooooal!!
It’s DONE! FINALLY.
Weighing in at 92 pages (10 point, when it’s brought up to submission format size of 12, it’ll probably break 100) and just a little over 30,000 words, my unicorn story, suckily titled “Alicorn” was finished as of 11:30 am today.
I REFUSE to let the next Jen story get this [...]
My Agent ROCKS!
Nope, no news about a possible publication yet, but it seems like Jack is about as fed up of the waiting as I am. I wrote him an e-mail yesterday detailing a tactic of a friend of mine. Her name is Nicole Luiken and for years I had the biggest inferiority [...]
It’s My Fault Inc.
Lately it has come to my attention that there is an extremely lucrative and profitable area of the market that has, until now, gone largely ignored and unexploited. That area is Scapegoats.
I don’t know why I never saw this before. But it seems to me that there is a market [...]
Random Interesting Fact Of The Day
Plutonium 242 has a half life of approximately 37, 600 years. This means that if we were to build the great wall of China out of the stuff, the Earth would have a big green, night glo snake crawling across it visible to the aliens that come to the [...]
A Procrastinatin’ We Will Go…
Does anyone else who writes have this problem?
You know how the story is going to end. You even know how you’re going to write it. And yet when it comes down to sitting down and writing, you’re lucky to get a sentence out every half hour despite the fact [...]
My Life Is More Boring Than Your Grandma’s Power Knitting Sessions
This is inevitable. Once you actually settle down and start doing actual work, interesting, witty, insightful things/events/people rarely enter into your sphere of influence. And this is one of those points. Mostly I’m just writing. A couple of freelance jobs have [...]
