Hate breeds hate…
At the desk, 8:07 a.m. When I look around the world today, it seems like hate won. Again. “If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I become as sounding brass or clanging gong. And if I have the gift of prophecy, and know all knowledge; and if… Continue Reading

Like crabs in a bucket…
At the desk, 8:49 a.m. What do you know about crabs in a bucket? If you put a single crab in a bucket, it will easily climb out. If you put two or more crabs in a bucket, no one is climbing out. If a crab tries to make a run for it, the other… Continue Reading
What crazy idea do you have?
At the desk, 8:48 a.m. In June, 2008, I had this crazy idea – why not revive serial fiction? If you’ve heard me tell this story before, you know that the first serial I wrote was the Driver for a friend’s site while she had a series of house guests. You’ll also remember that my… Continue Reading

Rushing
At the desk, 10:33 a.m. I spent much of the morning rushing around. We had an Alex the Fey story due for the newsletter this morning. I’d planned on incorporating the last edits last night, but I ended up going to pick up the husband at his work. He works about an hour from here… Continue Reading
The Most Astounding Fact…
At the desk, 7:50 a.m. The most astounding fact in my life is that I’m here. I don’t know if I ‘should’ be here. I don’t know that I ‘deserve’ to be here. I’m not even all that certain how I managed to get here. I only know that, when things were at there very… Continue Reading
Why are authors so boring?
At the desk, 8:10 a.m. Maybe it’s just me, but I’m often surprised at what boring people authors are. Last week, I had a chance to watch a day in the life of Tim Ferriss and… snore… Here’s the video, but be forewarned it’s about 25 minutes of…snore… The set up is good. He has… Continue Reading
