After weeks of radio silence…

…I am practically spamming the friends boards today. I forgot to mention that next week is Life, the Universe, and Everything, a local convention that is FREE! and always a good learning experience.

Note that Tracy Hickman and his wife, Laura, are the guests of honor, and special guests include my author Rebecca Shelley (who wrote Red Dragon Codex as R.D.

I was able to take pictures, and got some really great ones of Ashley Bryan, our keynote speaker, who was the best keynote speaker I’ve ever heard speak, and he didn’t even have a speech. But … Read more

Allowing myself to be zen about the clutter

by

I’m sitting down in my office for the first time in weeks. I’ve been working all sorts of other places for the last few weeks except for my office, because the office has been a downright terror and it doesn’t exactly soothe me to work in a space that has a tarp on the floor … Read more
